Smokers do go outside to smoke regardless of weather conditions. Though I must admit that up here many places have made sure that summer and winter their customers can at least keep dry, if not warm. Many have erected open sided awnings with (at times) tables and chairs and ashtrays for smokers.

lol, another cross-post

It's true smokers will brave any weather conditions for a nicotine fix - if you're an unwilling victim, just make sure you're not downwind, lol
