My Twenty Little Friends.....My Cigarettes

posted April 9, 2008 - 11:31pm
My Twenty Little Friends.....My Cigarettes

How do I love thee, let me count the ways....all 20 of them, my 20 little friends in each pack.

As I take one out, I light it up and I feel that instant rush. The feeling of that first cigarette....how can I explain it. The feel of that smoke going into my lungs. Such a great feeling. I just lie back and relax. Maybe enjoy a cup of coffee with it, or maybe a glass of wine. The world is mine for 5 minutes. No one bothers me when I smoke, they know it's my time......my time for peace.

Why do I love my twenty little friends so much? The same friends that might make me suffer? Give me an early death or just maybe some miserable health problems? Because I love them! That's all. We all love something or someone we know might give us grief, either now or somewhere down the road.....or do we know this? Maybe this is the something or someone who will not give me grief. Someone always escapes statistics. And truth be known.....life is for living and for now this is how I choose to live. Maybe someday I'll be sorry but hindsight is 20/20. Go ahead! Enjoy that chocolate cake, that 6-pack! Take another hit, it's your life to live. Live it for you......we all will be gone someday, make sure your choices are your own, that regret would be the biggest of all.

Oh yeah

Oh yeah..I almost forgot...thats as long as the FDA doesnt ban them!

Electronic Cigarettes

You can have the best of both worlds with one little friend instead of 20. I love smoking too, the feel, the habit, everything, but I hated being worried about ...well.....dieing from them. I stared smoking my electronic cigarette about a year ago, and it has changed my perspective on smoking. E-cigarettes have no Second Hand Smoke, no Yellow  Walls, no Odors Anywhere, no Risk Of Fire Accidents, no Bans and Cigarette Butts Or Ashes. All that being said, they are a significant improvement over the standard tobacco cigs that have all of the above.

Maybe I'm Playing 'Devil's Advocate,' but Right On, mrbronco!

I mean, I know the gradually-building power of suggestion, so it's good that commenters here are reminding you (and themselves), "SMOKING, *BAAAAD!*"; but if one's children are stupid enough to start smoking because of this article (and are not cautioned against smoking by their parents), then--cold-hearted as it may sound--mrbronco is giving the stupid children what they deserve. ...Does Uncle MythMan know you're still awesome-like-the-2008-Olympics? or is`e just commenting here to hear *your* comments on http://is.gd/22wY http://is.gd/1fSs http://is.gd/1fRghttp://is.gd/1fSe & http://is.gd/1fSj ???

@maryad|Friction Gets Us All, Why Not SandPaper Your Face Off?

One possible reason is that the 'Face Off'ing doesn't happen until you've been dead a little while and the brain has long-ago stopped feeling things! Until my brain stops feeling things, I think I'll be better off NOT evolving an inward-aiming anus---thanks anyway ...

Youngsters Don't Smoke! But If You're 29.....

She's an adult and can do what she wants. And I can write what I want. I do not encourage "youngsters" to smoke. Here at home (you know...real life?) I DIScourage people from starting. Sorry you took offense at my comment but I'm not sorry I wrote it.

Please don't encourage smoking...

You are your own master and you have the right to live as you like..But please don;t give bad message for youngsters....I am afraid your article may make a temptation for non smokers..Please take this comment in right spirit...Thanks.. http://www.xomba.com/royal_enfield_electra_is_the_real_king_of_bullets

Smoke Away!

I'm lighting up a cigarette

I'm lighting up a cigarette as I'm writing this. I was reading earlier about all the asbestos lawsuits that are currently in process. Many people found out that their homes are built using asbestos and they sew the previous owners for not mentioning this in the contract. Our cigarettes contain a small quantity of asbestos as well. I wonder why no one is sewing the cigarette companies for this. One way or the other, the thing is we will all develop a form of cancer, be it from smoking, asbestos in our walls, pollution in the air or from the power lines behind our homes. So why not smoke if the end is the same for smokers or non-smokers?

Good Luck.....

Hey I'm really sorry to hear that. A friend of mine does the patch. He says it takes away the craving. Have you tried that? Good luck....you can get through this....my 89 year old mother just got through it. So can you.

Mr.B - I got some news this week and I must quit ASAP

Yes, those 20 little friends and me are going to have to part ways. Was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. I'm facing a mastectomy on the right side (3 lumps that I found came back as infiltrating lobular carcinoma). Left side is OK based on an MRI yesterday - thank God but we don't know about lymph nodes). I swear, during times of stress, like now, there's nothing like nicotine. I had a complete meltdown 2 days ago when I tried to quit. I need something to help me and I can't take drugs. I'm going on the hunt for some Ariva cause Commit lozenges are like sucking on chalk. Just giving you this info so you don't waste the $43.99 on the lozenges that I did :) So smoke a few for me, then quit. Cause you never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball like it did to me. Do it when you're strong, when your mind is not mired in wondering whether you will see your children one year from now or whether you really will be able to spend the rest of your life with the one you love. I'm blogging the whole nightmare at the link below. And one more thing, ladies and husbands/brothers/fathers/friends - make sure your loved ones get those breast exams. Sometimes, even mammograms don't pick up the disease. Monthly breast exams are a must! BTW, I'm just 40 years old. http://www.bigblueheron.blogspot.com/
