Everyone constantly points out to me... even random people that don't know me... that I smoke, I'm wasting money, it will kill me and I only do it to "be cool". Ok, well, I'm glad to know that random people care about me enough to inform me that I'm going to die (as if they actually give two shits whether I die or not...), but I can give them one fucking hell of a lecture back.
First of all, nobody smokes to be cool anymore. NOBODY. Unless you are a retard hobo, of course, but they have acceptions... People smoke because they are 1)curious as to what addiction/smoking feels like 2)they are smelly goths and they want to be more gothic and smelly than everyone else 3)people with eating disorders use it as an appetite supressant 4)sometimes people (parents, for example) force other people into it. you may not believe it, but i know quite a few people who had that unfortunate experiance.
Yes. I know I am going to die. Good job! However, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE TOO! YOU AND YOU AND YOU! Who gives two shits if I miss out on those sunshiny days of gray hair, dentures, forgetting where everything is, an achey back and those creepy scooters elderly people ride at the grocery store? I was planning on shooting myself before that day came, anyway.
So? I'm wasting my money, huh? I supposed I am. I'm only helping the fucking econamy that was completely destroyed on September 11th, you overly "patriotic" son of a bitch, you! Since you are the ones saying I'm blowing six dollars a day, why don't you help lower the taxes then??
Smoking is great. It relaxes me, it's sexy, it helps me meet new, awesome people (Can I have a light? Must be the greatest way to start a conversation) and it holds me together. So shut up and deal with it.
