Oh, and I'm a smoker, for the record
Always loved the smell of them, even when I didn't smoke. And I understand completely the argument that a cigarette only feels like it's having a positive effect because it's levelling out your cravings. That's why I love it. That's how I'm wired. It's why I'm a miserable, nihilistic, pessimistic bastard 90% of the time, because when good things happen to you it feels so much better. It's why one might, for instance, wait half an hour to urinate for the added wonderful feeling of relief. It's why, despite the fact that I love smoking, I often quit for a few days, just so I can have the cigarette that's like ten orgasms at once with my morning coffee a couple of days down the line.
