I'm sat here, at work thinking about life. As you do. Now one thing is getting me up, my smoking ADDICTION. I smoke a lot, and at times a feel the cigarette to be my best friend (sorry marc, but you have got man boobs). Let me explain...
Smoking is the most subtle, sinister trap that man and nature have combined to devise. What gets us into it in the first place? The thousands of adults who are already doing it. They even warn us that its a filthy disgusting habit that will eventually destroy us and cost us a fortune, but we cannot believe that they are not enjoying it. Once of the many pathetic aspects of smoking is how hard we have to work in order to become hooked.
It is the only trap in nature which has no lure, no piece of cheese. The thing that springs the trap is not that cigarettes taste so marvellous; its that they taste awful. If that first cigarette tasted marvellous, alarm bells would ring and, as intelligent human beings, we could then understand half the adult population was systematically paying through the nose to poison itself. But because that first cigarette tastes awful, our young minds are reassured that we will never become hooked, and we think that because we are not enjoying them we can stop when ever we want to.
It is the only drug in nature that prevents you from achieving your aim. Boys usually start because they want to appear tough. The last thing you feel with the first cigarette is tough. You dare not inhale, and if you have too many, you start to feel dizzy and throw the filthy things away.
With women, the aim is to be sophisticated modern young lady. We have all seen them taking lightly puffs on a cigarette, looking absolutely ridiculous. By the time the boys have learnt to look tough and the girls have learnt to look sophisticated, they wish they had never started in the first place. I wonder whether women ever look sophisticated when they smoke, or whether its a figment of our imaginations created by cigarette adverts. It seems to me that there is no intermediary stage between the obvious learner and Fag-Ash Lily.
I wish I have never started. I think that by this stage I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of pounds on cigarettes, and I have got nothing from it.
I want to stop, but I'm addicted.
Message to all ubersite people, don't start smoking, its not worth it.

If you really want to quit, you'll do it. I never thought I could quit, and I did without a problem. Cold turkey and 4 months later, I'm still not smoking.

OK post. Smoking is utterly idiotic. But it is cool. Just fucking give it up! Once you WANT to give up it ain't hard. Unless you're very weak. I guess one problem is that some people have a bit of a nihilistic streak, so it's hard to remain positive.
I have to say - I quite enjoy the smell and taste of a woman when she's been smoking and drinking wine.
