I am smoking but only about 1/2 as much as I used to.
In a few months I will cut that to half as well.
Then I'll be smoking so little it won't matter - I
won't be paying much tax (geez, wonder how they'll
make that up) and my body will be absorbing any
chemicals (the car exhaust we breathe on a daily
basis is greater than what I inhale or exhale in the
way of cigarette smoke).
Actually I'm well on my way there, as it's more like I'm
smoking about 1/3 of what I used to.
Why?
Not because of my health or anything along that nature.
It's because I refuse to pay the tax.
Granted Missouri has the LOWEST tax in the country on
ciggies. I can buy a carton for under $20. BUT in
a few years that will probably change.
PLUS
I'm sick of the holier than thous preaching what lepers
smokers are. Seriously, in two days time I read a few
posts from the 'do what I say not do what I do' group
saying us smokers just love to blow smoke in the face
of non smokers, then throw our butts on the ground
littering, laughing, and walking away.
Hell yeah!
One of my favorite past times ever is standing in the
doorway of restaurants with a lit cigarette - grabbing
the first non smoker to walk through the door, hold
them up by the hair, and blow smoke in their face.
Then stubbing out my cigarette in their undies. It's
great fun!
GROW UP.
Remember, with some of us, you accuse me of it often
enough I just might actually do it. I'm getting blamed
for it anyway what do I have to lose? Hehehehehehehe.
Also keep in mind - as you sit there telling ME what
to do, I am taking stock in what YOU do - both in front
and behind closed doors. SO WATCH OUT!
