When I smoked, we had people that would just come and hang out for the break and the conversation. Go for it, it’s fine. Just don’t complain about smoking or you won’t be welcome, predictably enough.
This is what I used to do, the smoking area outside was a nice little shaded area, i just generally stood upwind of the smokers or slightly askew to avoid the 2nd hand smoke. No one gave me shit, I was just asked occasionally if i smoked.
One of my colleagues will even occasionally ask me “Heading for a smoke, wanna come along?” I just love chatting with him, I’ll try to stand upwind so I don’t catch as much second-hand smoke, he gets some company too, everyone’s happy.
Yeah, my coworkers take smoke breaks together and I genuinely think I missing some important socialization because I don’t smoke

I never understood this argument.
Colleague goes for a smoke break? I go with them, just don’t smoke.
Take a cup of coffee or tea and go with them. There are multiple modern addictions that you can choose from.
That’s actually very good advice
Take a sparkler to hold, so you can ask for a light
And be around people smoking? Disgusting
