Patay-Sindi

I'm not a big fan of cigarette-smoking, but i do smoke. Heck! I prefer smoking better than drinking booze. [ok, so maybe that makes me a fan!] What gives?!

I've come across this vice about a year ago. [this was the roadtrip-that-ended-in-tagaytay scene where my fellow tripster asked me to light a stick for him as he has his hands full behind the wheel. I suppose i found it cool. Smoking while driving along the traffic of SLEX. Way better than drinking and driving. You court trouble that way. N0T COOL!] Can't say i'm proud of that [smoking as a vice] but atleast i'm not addicted to it. Not yet. [maybe i won't be. Di ko naman hinahanap!] On average, i smoke, like, once a month? And i try to stick to a pack of 20's when i'm out for the night. [i don't stick to one brand, though.]

Marlboro Lights : the first stick i tried. I had an instant liking to it. I think it has just the right taste to it. Not too strong. Perfect for starters.

Marlboro Reds : i don't like it one bit. Too strong. Made me dizzy at first puff. Took me what, 5? 10minutes to finish off a stick. Never tried it again!

Then there's Winston Lights : tastes rather dull. Winston Reds : taste much better.

One of my officcemate [past] smokes Marlboro Menthols : after which, i had this urge of n0t wanting to smoke anym0re! [i wondered why.] The feeling didn't last, though. Some say menthols aren't that good. Idk. Phillips and Winston Ice taste just about the same to me!

Once, a friend suggested i try Gudang [menthol]. Sweet filter. Contains marijuana [rumor]. Stick crackles as you puff. "Like smoking firecrackers!" [my cousin exclaimed during our first joint]. A fancy cigarette! Pricy as well, and way much better than Dunhill Frost [no point of comparison actually, it was just a disappointment!]

Well, its been over a month since i puffed my last stick. I'm not craving for some. [but i'm sure to if i have one!] I guess this disqualifies me as a candidate to such addicti0n, n0t yet at least. I could still claim i never liked smoking and would still get nauseous everytime i smell 'em from others. I also wonder [still] why people DO smoke?! A friend once said : "its to be cool!" I think thats lame and untrue. Smoking isn't cool! Smoking Is Dangerous To One's Health! That's according to government warning.

Now i wonder why the majority doesn't heed this!? [i know i don't!] ~.~
