A replacement for "you snooze, you lose." A phrased used when someone is taking their sweet ass time smoking a cigarette, and in doing so have missed an opportunity. This is generally the result of a single smoker idly wasting the time of several non-smokers, causing the non-smokers to abandon him.
The "croak" part refers to the fact that they're eventually going to die of lung cancer anyway.
