It must have been an alternate universe but in the dream I was outside smoking with my co-workers before school started. This would never happen, ever. Many of my co-workers are, however, closet smokers or former smokers that occasionally indulge.
Today, in between tackling my massive to-do list I contemplated buying some cigarettes. I haven’t bought cigarettes for myself in a very long time. There something about cigarette smoking that is so much more alluring than the other types of tobacco smoking I also enjoy. Both pipe and cigar smoke is more flavourful and pleasant tasting. I get a pleasant buzz from doing all three but I think what it comes down to is inhaling. I know some people can inhale pipe or cigar smoke… but I am not one of those people.

Almost 2,000 of them will become regular smokers – that’s 757, 000 new smokers annually!
