Brooklyn’s wildest meet-up: 1,500 strangers, one cigarette
A 75-year-old Brooklyn performer, Bob “the Cigarette Maestro” Terry, pulled off something only New York could deliver: he invited strangers to share a smoke, and over 1,500 people showed up in Washington Square Park. For a few surreal minutes, students, skaters, and longtime smokers all gathered, chanting Bob’s name and lighting up together. The event was about more than cigarettes—it was a spontaneous moment of community, sparked by a viral flyer and social media buzz. Bob’s message? If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do, try to quit. What do you think—does this count as a positive use of social media?
