I really should cut down on my smoking.
Its getting heavier by the day. Dunno why. Idle fingers mebbe. Stress mebbe. Nicotine addiction definitely.
OK its not as if I'm a chain-smoker. I do about a pack a day now. A far cry from say 6 months ago when I was averaging about 5-6 sticks every 24 hours. But I tell myself I am exercising regularly so, err, that about evens out this really bad habit. Abit lah =))
I used to have a self-imposed smoking ban in my own apartment (except in a little corner of the kitchen), but now I puff infront of the TV. I used to have a self-imposed smoking ban in my own car, but now I merrily puff away with the windows wound down, cruising along the highway to work.
In the office, my guys find it easier to talk to me when we light up together and huddle in our own little 'Yellow Box'. Its the Smokers' Bond you see. Regardless of Race, Language or Religion, we gravitate towards each other like the tar stains that stick to our teeth. Eeww! =))
But now I feel guilty about going out today and buying myself a new Olive-green Zippo lighter. I have about given up on all those cheapo
Bic-types that you get for 80cts and then promptly chuck when they run out of flammable fluids. I have about 5 of these cheapo lighters in my car, yes FIVE. All in various stages of disrepair =P
I figgered that if you have to expedite your impending death from all those carcinogens, might as well do it with a little more style. Its not as if I haven't owned a Zippo before though. Had a classic matt-silver one which made a really nice
Ka-ching when I flicked the flip-top. Can't find it now.
But Zippo or not, I really need to at least halve the puff-factor.
Anyone tried a Nicotine Patch? =))
