attacks, but as soon as I perform my heat ritual I light up because it seems to help pass the time until the pain lets up.
I NEED my cigarette. Sorry, I do not mean to suggest anyone else should use nicotine. I know it is bad for me and everyone. I recommend to everyone - if you don't smoke, for goodness sake, don't start. It is a hard habit to kick - even if you really want to. Smoking is very expensive, dirty, and disgusting, also.
To avoid contaminating others I do follow all the multitude of restrictions about smoking here and there - but it is no fun. I almost wish I lived in the good/bad old days when "smoking stunted your growth" but was socially acceptable. I could really enjoy it without guilt before the government told me it would kill me. Who wants to live to be a hundred, anyway. If smoking doesn't get you, something even worse just might! Smile.
