That’s the aspect of it that statists on the Left just don’t get. They see an un-hip old smoker. We see a middle finger to nanny-statism.
And no, I don’t smoke, never have. Well, not counting a few cigarettes in middle school trying to look cool. Don’t think I ever bought a pack.
Trying to “look cool” is what got me smoking. One day, my older sister said “you’re not inhaling and wasting my cigarettes. If you don’t learn to inhale, you can’t have anymore”.
Well, being that I copied my older sister in every way possible, I said “fine”. I inhaled and thought I was going to die.
She said “keep doing it, you’ll get used to it”. So I did.
Now of course I blame her, lol.....even though she has now quit for several years and I am STILL smoking!
