I don’t smoke but I once did. All the people I’ve liked most in the world smoked at least for a short portion of their lives
I’ve had some of the best conversations over a smoke and met strangers I wouldn’t have normally gotten to know. Touching grass for real
Smoking during writers block? Coffee and a ciggy in the morning? After sex? Chef’s kiss!
I hate the judgment and distain some people direct at smokers.
Nicotine hits the opiate receptors in your brain. Addicts often quit everything except cigarettes because it’s such a gnarly addiction to kick
Anyway, I really don’t want you to start smoking. Not starting is the easiest way to quit and quitting is a “better” way to live
That said, this article spoke to me
