All The Cool Kids Are Doing It

Jul 17, 2004 02:57

Back in high school, my friend Jason and I thought it was cool to steal his uncle’s cigarettes and then walk around the block smoking. We never thought that we would actually become smokers, and we really didn’t believe that we were all that cool, but we did it anyways ( Read more... )

Y'know what the worst part is? (By the way, innocent bystanders, I'm the aforementioned Jason...) My addiction became quite the opposite. The physical cravings I can easily ignore. The psychological part is what keeps me going on. And whether or not I like it, I feel like I do. I saw in some anti-smoking propaganda once the most accurate statement ever, at least for my case:

"If someone tells you they enjoy smoking they're lying. They just dislike not smoking."

I think last night was just weird for me. I was in a house surrounded by non-smokers, so I didn't want to smoke at all. I only did it when I couldn't resist anymore (and then as the Blog-A-Thon went on, I did it to keep myself awake).

I agree with your statement though. I really do dislike not smoking. Except for when I'm hanging out with all nonsmokers...then I wish I could be like them.
