As I watched a man today ask for a cigarette, get denied, and promptly take a half smoked one out of an ash tray, I began thinking about addiction. The look of desperation in his eyes scared me. I’ve been smoking this year. Not often, and usually cigars not cigarettes. And I know i’m not addicted but then I hear clearly addicted people assure me of that as well. I never want to become like that. Do I really want to be a casual smoker turned addicted? Not really. Not to mention that my art form involves my voice and smoking doesn’t enhance that in any way. The more I watch Sex and the City, the more scenes I see with Sarah Jessica Parker (why do we always use her middle name) with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth or in her hand. This show did not come out that long ago. Are we still trying to give the impression that smoking is sexy? Cool? Harmless?

Girl? You are smokin hot without a cigar/ette in your mouth/hand.
Stop it.
Right now.
There is not many turn-offs worse then a girl with a smoke hanging out of her mouth.
don't be yucky K
Love!
I'd say don't sweat it. There are more important things to worry about. Just don't be looking for the next opportunity to smoke and you'll be fine. Take opportunities when you'll appreciate having a casual smoke and leave it at that. Or get a pipe and pack your own...
Are we trying to make it sexy or cool? I think for the most part our generation has gotten over that and smarter than that. And now a lot of my friends are actually so afraid of it that they won't ever enjoy a nice smooth cigar. And that's kind of sad in itself.
As for harmless though, nothing is. Everything will deteriorate your body.
We're all going to have cancer eventually
