It’s a nasty habit, but that’s not what I wanted to say. 1 1/2 of my 3 best friends smoke. A half you wonder? Yes. Here’s the breakdown: Casey: uh no, ::scott(”)::: when he’s drinking he’ll have one, or a few, and ::justin(”)::: no doubting it. The thing I never understood was that Scott used to bitch at Justin with me. There was even a time that I had to stab Justin in the eye with my finger while he was driving to make my point. But sadly, it did not work, and Scott even joined in on the nastiness. So for Scott to start doing it, confuses me completely.
Now I know the bad sides of smoking. This is because I have heard from my brother the crap he’s yacked up in the mornings, and have heard Justin coughing up something in the mornings, such as this morning. I personally have smelled like smoking because of the smokers at the bar. Then of course there’s the health issues, that are directly correlated with smoking. So I think to myself, why keep smoking? I know there’s an addiction, but you have to try and beat it. And once you quit, you can’t give up. I believe I’ve seen Justin quit at least 2 times for more than a month. Yet for some reason he gets drawn back in. I wish people would realize the hazards and rethink if they really want to keep doing it. And the bullshit of people saying “it takes off my last years which are crappy anyways” is dumb. Because of course it takes off the last years, there’s no other years that can be shortened since when you die, you don’t just skip a few years and continue. This isn’t super mario brothers. You can’t skip levels. Also, where is the argument about ruining the years between? I just wish people the best, and hope that someday one of my best friends, and my brother, would drop this bad habit.
ME? Smork? nawwwwww! I know I shouldn’t, so I’ll quit, just for you. You know have my permission to deliver the “Justin Punishment” if you ever see me smoke, drinking or not. Eye poking, rib jabs, and sucker punches are all fair game.
Gladly. Funny thing is, even when I give you shit, you come up with some way to rationalize smoking. At least Justin knows it’s bad for him and was dumb to start up again.
Yet still he smokes constantly….. so how is that better?
Wow — what spawned an article about smoking? Honestly, the fact that I have been coughing up some nasty crap all day, more so in the mornings and when I goto sleep is bronchitis. However, smoking doesn’t help it at all. Actually, smoking just helps keep that junk in my lungs and not coming out like its supposed to. In an effort to alleviate these coughing fits, I have quit smoking during the day..
only smoking when the sun goes down.. its better than smoking 24×7 still.
That’s good, I wasn’t trying to call you out in or whatever.particular. I wrote the article because of smelling like shit at the bar because of the smoke. It brought it back to my attention because I heard you smoke, and since I haven’t talked to you in a few days, figured it was because of smoking, not because you were sick (since I didn’t know). Good job on the smoking cutdown, and I apologize if you thought I was trying to call you out.
