You're fooling yourself if you believe that smoking is one of life's pleasures.

I get it, I know that having that first cigarette of the day, or the one after a meal, or the one after sex, feels pleasurable. It's not really, though. It's just getting you back to the state the rest of us are in all the time.

Smoking = your mind fucking with you, not pleasure.

Fuck me
I'm tempted to start smoking again if it will prevent me becoming this hectoring.

Thanks, AV.
I really needed that laugh. That ironic pot, kettle thing is hilarious.

I have to agree with this.
I used to smoke because I got a buzz, then I smoked because it was something to do, then I realised I smoked because I was craving it. After giving up I've not missed it.
That said, I do li,e the taste of a cigar every now and again, and I have no problem with people smoking around me.
If you want to smoke, do it, but don't pretend for a second it really makes you feel better or that feeling like you need a cig every few hours means you're experiencing some kind of pleasure that non-smokers don't.
