So in light of recent events aka me starting to smoke cigarettes again, there has been a very serious push to get me to stop from friends and family. They have gone so far as to try to "scare me sober." I have however two other very serious reasons for quitting.
Yesterday I went outside for a cigarette break. In the lobby on my way down, there were approximately a dozen tween skate boys sitting there. Clearly, a casting call. I make my way outside and while I'm trying to lite my cigarette, six of the preteen blonde surfer boys that were sitting inside come outside. Now, I don't like to be bothered when I'm having my cigarette. It's alone time. But I don't mind these boys standing on the other side of the pillar until what happened next. They began to harmonize. Before I knew it the little Ryan Scheckler's were singing "If I ever fall in Love" by Shai. Right behind me. All I was trying to do was enjoy my cigarette. Now, if I'm going to be harassed or serenaded by 11-13 year-old boys each time I have a cigarette, that is definitely a reason to quit. Furthermore, the first verse of that song says "But I was caught up in physical attraction..." Um, hello, you're like 12 years-old, do you even know what physical attraction is you prepubescent child?
The second reason is easily explained by the following conversation.
Kerry: How many packs do you smoke a week?
Me: One
Kerry: How much do they cost?
Me: About $5
Kerry: So that's $20 a month you could be spending on alcohol.
FAIL.
