We have a substitute for the other secretary at work now, and she asked me very nicely if I could go out and share her cigarette breaks with her since it's boring to stand outside alone. I, understanding this of course, said yes and have stood there, by her side madly wanting cigarettes but keeping myself from asking for them. Until today. Now I've had a whole cigarette to myself and oh my god they are so wonderful! I don't want to give them up, health be damned! I love cigarettes! Crap!

Badness: my resolve is quickly disappearing. I've forgotten all my reasons to quit smoking.

Goodness: I smoked an entire cigarette and didn't cough once! That must mean I'm getting better for my cold.

What should I do? Tell me the reasons to give up these lovely cigarettes or I fear I cannot go on without them...

I'd say try a bit longer. Because if you suddenly start smoking again you'll never get rid of the disease of doom.

Nicotine won't kill the weird lung disease. No way.

You're probably right...And I totally agree with you, but smoking is so good...suddenly my clothes smell funny though, and that's not nice, but my fingers smell of cigarettes, and I've missed that...

Reasons not to smoke:


1. Money: No sane person spends that much money on anything. If you were living in another country perhaps, in this one you can't afford it.

2. Your clothes 'll smell like shit. Then again, share a flat with a smoker and you'll get the same thing. Cheaper though.

3. You'll never, ever, even if you manage to claw your way a bit farther from deaths door start exercising. You'll try it once, realize that the cigarettes have stolen what little stamina you had, and give up.

4. The smoke police, the "most elite and brutal enviromental death squad in the world", which everyone know is allready operating with govermental funding, will target you. It might not happen before 2012, but it still makes smoking the most dangerous activity known to man.

5. If you are one of those hippie vegetarians (or vegetarian wannabes) complaining that Good Meat is bad because it uses up much more area pr. energy unit than Boring Vegetables, you could argue that smoking is a lot worse, seing as use a lot of area providing no edible energy.

6. Liqorice. After chocolate, the most holy of substances, is largely squandered and abused as tobbaco flavouring instead of as Good and Proper Sweets.

7. You are supporting one or more Evil Corporations.

8. Your teeth will grow yellow and fall off.

9. Your skin will wrinkle prematurely and turn gray.

10. Research shows that smokers are 37.9% more likely to get abducted and impregnated by malevolent alien species.

11. No one will like you. You'll turn into a sad and lonely person, and die alone.

12. My prognoses shows that the dosage of mind control drugs currently used in common cigarette brands will be multiplied by a factor of at least 42 in the coming years as the Evil Corporations will get more and more desperate to keep their customers. This will lead to massive zombification of the worlds populace, and you'll be missing out on the fun of slaughtering your zombiefied neighbhors with wathever household appliances you'd prefer, and instead have to walk really slow murmuring something about wanting to dine on grains or strains or something.

13. I'm skipping this one for luck.

14. Your doctor will stop trying to diagnose you if you'll have to visit him, instead just telling you: "Stop smoking, take do aspirins, and call me tomorrow".

15. You'll prove to yourself and everyone else that you are weak. Weak, you hear!

Hmm. Yup.

Re: Reasons not to smoke:


I ment to spell all those difficult words right, I really did. Honest to God. But then this fairy came by, and forced me to misspell. Also, the dog ate my homework. Honest.

Re: Reasons not to smoke:


Good reasons, though I think you spend more money on alcohol than I spend on smoking. Hell, I spend more money on clothes than I spend on smoking...so there!

Re: Reasons not to smoke:


Well, yeah, but that'll change once you start smoking again.

Also, i usually beg strangers to buy me alcohol, so I rarely spend that much on it.

And alcohol just make me less coherent and a bit violent. Smoking would make me ugly.

Re: Reasons not to smoke:


Oh, the uglyness argument. It's the best there is actually. Hmmm...I think I just might listen.

That must mean I'm getting better for my cold.


cold?

ahem...

COLD?

COLD?!?!?!?!

Infuriating lungshrinking throatkilling disease of doom, you mean?







Anyway, YAY for smoking! You, me, Jude Law and DanRad. Only you're not gettning any from me, you buy your own damn cigs! Wee! Go you!













what? I like going againstthe flow...

Of course you do honey. And I promise I won't smoke all your cigarettes...honest! (only about half, maybe not even that! ;) )

LUNG CANCER, LUNG CANCER, LUNG CANCER, GIVING OTHER PEOPLE LUNG CANCER....

AND DID I MENTION LUNG CANCER?!

Please don't fall off the wagon ;_;

From: [identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com


Se, the problem with the lung cancer argument is that it's so far off into the future...I mean, sure I'll believe that I'm more likely to get lung cancer due to smoking, but then again, living past forty seems like a dream to me. There's just so much that could go wrong in the meantime. Car crashes, plane crashes, hell, I just wanna live through this cold.

But I'll probably not fall off the wagon for real. I'm sure...I'm trying...I hope...

Keep quitting!

You've had the whole gamut of funky respiratory diseases. If you start smoking again, you will fuck yourselv up. Please dont.

From: [identity profile] akselwestlund.livejournal.com


Quite well. The occasional one. but no urge.

Also, no lung disease. DON'T START!

Vel. Nå skal du høre på tante Millmill: Jeg sluttet å røke før jul og har siden røkt mange cigaretter, og hver og en har vært meg en helt egen glede. Igår hadde jeg en veldig dårlig dag og tillot meg en cigarette på jobb. Man trenger ikke slutte helt, men man trenger å vite at man kan kontrollere forbruket. Om jeg skulle begynne å røke igjen ville jeg følt meg så mislykket og vært så oppgitt at jeg sannsynligvis ville begynt å røke flere om dagen enn jeg gjorde i utgangspunktet. Oppsummering: Cigaretter er fantastisk gode, og derfor synes jeg du skylder dem å gjøre dem litt spesielle, å gjøre dem til noe du unner deg i visse (og få) situasjoner, litt som en riktig dyr sjokolade.

From: [identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com


Det hørtes superlurt ut. Så kan jeg kose meg med en nå og da, uten å røyke fast, men også uten å måtte avfinne meg med aldri å kunne ta en eneste en igjen... Lurt! :)
