RE: An Ex-Smoker´s Confession: It Was Chic, Cool And Glamorous
I think quitting gets easier every time I try.
Lol, joking of course. Its an utter bastard. The one thing that keeps me off em is how one time I was standing outside my office smoking and chatting to a guy who was also smoking and he lamented how there were less and less of us standing outside smoking and I guffawed and quick-wittedly bellowed Of course they are, its a DYING art! He stared then looked a bit sick and threw his cigarette away and stomped off and I likewise stood there and stared at mine and thought hmm, that wasn't really funny just kinda true and since then I have been relatively good
Haha, yeah I know that joke well. Have told it by myself several times :D
I totally know what you mean by these silent smoker´s moments. My key experience occured at an airport. Do you know these isolated glass cases they have installed for smokers there? It was surely one of the worst moments in my life. That´s how animals in captivity might feel. There were some kids on the other side of the window staring at me while I was taking a drag on my cigarette. It was so embarrassing!
You do well being relatively good :) It´s everything but easy.
Oh those perspex boxes of smokey shame!! Yeah they are awful. I felt the same when in those.
The killer is that the marketing has the image that it is cool ingrained so heavily that you know it is bad but still feel cool when you do. Madness
Oh yeah, I can absolutely relate. I felt incredibly cool all the time, haha
