I get that compulsion, too. I agree that it comes from anger, and I think that the impulse is rooted in a subconscious self-defiance, saying: "Look, I'm killing myself--slowly, but I'm still doing it!" I often imagine myself flamboyantly waving a cigarette while complaining breathlessly about the dreadful state of things, taking heavy drags for punctuation.

I'm gonna give you a cigarette tomorrow in lit. you don't have to smoke it. i would just be amused at the idea that you would.

Isn't there any other addictive you could get addicted to? Caffeine? Chocolate? Alcohol? Helium? (which is not addictive... but...)

Mind you, waving around a half-full champagne flute/martini glass might be the same as waving a cigarette... (and probably less harmful as well).

Good luck for your APs!

Oh, I'm certainly not going to actually smoke. It just was an impulse that surprised and intrigued me, and I don't think it had anything to do with the image of waving it around (or not). And I'm already addicted to ice cream.

And thanks!
