Smoke em if you got em

When there is an unavoidable delay in an activity, some people will say "smoke 'em if you got 'em" as a way of saying "this is going to take a while to fix, so you might as well do something other than just wait (like taking a smoke break)".

After Joe's car broke down on the deserted country road, he called a tow truck and told his passengers "Smoke em if you got em".
