Some situations that arise in life can paradoxically leave us feeling lonelier, and I think this is one of them.
The story, to me, is of two people that at one point were attracted to each other. I don't think it was that serious, but the result lead to a child, leaving the wild-at-heart narrator feeling even more isolated than usual, as we all enter and leave this world alone. So he smokes to kill some of this new reality, just for awhile.
People get hurt, and misinterpreted intentions and unmet expectations can lead to rifes, leaving you in a magnified moment of isolation that you never intended
