Ermm... it is. I was told by French teacher at school that French cigs are
better for you (or should that be, not so damaging for you), because they
dry the tabacco leaves in the warm sun of the south of France. elsewhere,
such as cheap and nasty cigs such as Lambert and Butler (urrgghh!!!) they
dry them with chemicals, so you have even more toxins to breath into your
body. In fact, you can taste the chemicals in cheap cigs, (anyone noticed
that B&H smell like bacon?) whereas something like a Gauloise you can taste
only plant (the tar is already in the tobacco).
I smoke, but only 5 a day, if that. I know it's not good for me, but then
neither is drinking enormous quantities of beer, which makes men grow tits.
Nice. And like it or not, smoking is an accessory. I use holders sometimes
(but you must remember to clean them regularly or else they reek), and take
a lot of time matching them to the outfit I'm wearing. And look at the
millions of Blue Note covers with such cool people on them, smokin'. this
would seem to say that smokin is unfortunately cool. unless you're a
teenager in a shell suit puffing on a John Player in a bus stop.
As for the health aspect, I was told by a doctor to stop, and I said, well,
I could get run down by a bus tomorrow. Seeing as I may very well get CJD,
or breast cancer from antiperspirants (mock not - this is true!), and seeing
as being old is not appealing at all, I don't actually care. Carpe diem!
(seize the day!).
But as with everything in life, smoking is down to personal choice. I don't
smoke in front of non-smokers, unless they're ok with it. If you wanna
smoke, smoke. If you don't, don't. Simple. I don;t expect peole to agree
with me, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
I'm off to smoke a fag now. Ha, that'll confuse the Americans on the list!
