Cigarettes.

Disclaimer : This is not an encouragement for smoking article. Nothing good came out of smoking.

Once again, my lecturer asked the class (especially the guys) about the addiction of cigarettes. She asked whether this addiction is good or not and the replies goes positively from the majority of the class. Unfortunately, because of my good 'showmanship' for participating in the class, she did asked me about how did I start to smoke. I blame my sugar rush for opening my mouth to give the 'pleasure' statement.

And I did explained everything but most likely I left them with a frown. I can saw a big question mark just right on top of the non-smoker's head. I'm very bad on explaining things to people. I guess I never cut out to be a teacher. Writing blogs and being spontaneous is different because of the time limit. Just like a stammer who can sing well. So, here I'm going to explain again. How did I start to smoke and how does it feels.

Unlike any other renegades, I started to smoke only after I got into University. The Form 5 scene is just a mere trial version. How did it happen? Peer pressure? Well, that will not happen unless you yourself are willing to try it. I said in class, I asked from my housemate for the cig, and it seems to them that my housemate were forcing me to smoke. No, absolutely not. I did correct them. I hope they will never misunderstood. The reason is most likely because of myself. And I wasn't lying about to stay awake for the late night study. I still remember that I took it while I'm doing some Calculus.

"But for starters, it feels kind of sleepy."

"If you know you are sleepy, why did you still take it?"

How could I know I will feel sleepy after that? I thought with the burning light and transferred heat into the body could make me stay awake. Well, after you get use to it, it did make you stay awake. At first, it's like the cig and your body are doing an 'ice braking'. Every nasty chemical will try to stimulates with all respiratory organ especially lungs. And after a few 'soul to soul', the cig and your body will be like a compatible couple made in heaven.

Here is a picture from my old archive. One serious and angry dark elf with his deadly magical cigarette which instantly kill every passing by secondhand smoker without doing much harm to himself. Detrimental weapon indeed. Haha.

"And Bogart-remember the first picture with him and Lauren Bacall? Oh, she sort of shimmies in through the doorway, 19 years old. Pure sex. She says, 'Anyone got a match?'. And Bogie throws the matches at her... and she catches them. Greatest romance of the century." - Nick Naylor, Thank You for Smoking.
