I smoke. I quit twice. I got fat. People died (well, not really, but they could have, given my mood).
Yea, I'm a pariah. Hopelessly addicted. And the healthiest person in my family, which is comprised entirely of people who think I'm disgusting.
I love nonsmokers who rant and rave and make ridiculous comparisons. You think we're that stupid, eh? At 15, yea...at 50, we're hooked. Think it's easy to just put'em down forever? I did that-twice. Plan on doing it again. Did you know that nicotine is more addictive than heroin? Did you know it's twice as hard for a woman to quit than a man? Or that it's harder to quit menthols than non? Yea, we're stupid.
States make all kinds of laws-some even tried to outlaw smoking in one's own car! Your 78 Volare can spew all kinds of black smoke down the freeway, but don't smoke in it....
And how many smoke haters marinate in cologne? That's always good for an ironic chuckle....While your 'choking' because I'm smoking, I'm having an allergy attack because of your Chanel.
None of us is an angel; none of us only thinks of others as we go about our business. And smokers are not bad people. I strongly suggest that those of you so adamantly against these little sticks of horror get off your high horses...
