Ahem, humph, humph, hack, wheeze... where's my inhaler? quick! I'm
serious!! I haven't enjoyed a cigarette like that in 10 years. That's
how long its been since I burned a grette (nick name for cigarette.) I
used to put a fat roach in the tip of my cigarette to celebrate having
just killed a doob. All those years of hanging by back and side doors,
ah, but a fleeting memory. Then of course, there were the poses and the
million and one ways to light them and the cute way to pick up guys by
bumming them.
Do I miss smoking? Yep. Would I rather breathe? Mostly yes. If I
smoke just one will I become addicted again? Yep.
You know what they say... "If it doesn't kill you it will only make you
stronger." As a former smoker who had the choice to live or die, I
rather like not smoking but it doesn't offend me when others do. I'm a
big girl and I know how to leave the party when the smoke gets too
thick.
I know that when I visit smoking friends they will smoke in their
house. I never have wanted people conform to some mold to please or
suit me. I have never been one to presume what is good for others and I
often think that my personal opinion is boring and not very popular.
As far as rude, or crass or any other moral description that defines
people by their habits, I try to refrain from partaking in judgment
calling, after all, even St. Bernadette was known to enjoy a chaw or
two, she claimed it helped her asthma.
Marcel, your post really made me laugh and the only reason I responded
to your post is I think I'm the last person to have a say about the
golden leaf on this list and so now we can put this baby to bed.
