    I just started smoking.


    HA. (Only during exams though. And when I'm really hammered. And when I randomly go to Montreal after having not slept for two days and need to stay up somehow and I don't want to take amphetamines...)

    Monday I will be 3 weeks since I have quit smoking and it has been the hardest thing I have ever done. I told my husband that if I am lucky enough to live to see 80 then I am going to start smoking again as I honestly enjoyed smoking.

    @RedHotz: if you truly enjoy it, it probably means you have the "smoking" gene SLC6A3-9....and that you'll eventually pick it up again.


    oh well....everything kills you anyway so who cares

    No kidding. When I quit smoking I was backed up for a week. That's probably too much information.

    @TheUptightMidwesterner is (insert general bitchery here): Have been without cigs now for 2 weeks and OMG! I still have cravings but not as bad or as often. One of my biggest problems I think is that I liked to smoke as well as the pain relief smoking gave me.

    I have been using Chantix and I think it has been a big help.

    Digression: when I see the word "Ariva" I can only think about "Arriba!" from the Looney Tunes cartoons.

    Cigarette ads still have the same messages. They show people having fun and being sexy but do not usually show anyone smoking. At least these ads are pretty.

    I should point out that I smoke. And that sometimes, I can almost convince myself that my smoking is somehow classier than that of the people who stand at the bus stop. But most of the time I can't.

    What's with all the weird socialite name-dropping? Were these people the Tinsley Mortimers and Julia Allisons of their day? And Gawker wasn't invented yet, so they had to get fame-whorey via cigarette ads? Can someone please explain this weird sociological thing to me?

    Mrs. Genevieve D'Arconne Welsh-Lewis enjoys hacking on Parliaments.


    Ms. Jacinta Delores Davenport whiles away her lonely evenings by coughing up Camel Lights.


    Mrs. John Allen Rump's dinner parties are the talk of the town. Ever the gracious hostess, she makes her guests feel welcome by proffering fine Chesterfield cigbutts.


    I won't even tough the second-to-last ad up there. I leave that to the rest of you. Notice the postcard, though. "Love, DICK".

    It's also good to strap yourself into a corset, distort your internal organs, not eat, and have sex only for the purpose of procreation. At least, that's how I stay so glamourous and girlishly young.

    @Green Goth Brit Chick - Alternat-evE: It's a very cheap wine brand that comes in fat little jugs and tastes entirely too sweet and yummy. It comes in different..."flavors", like chablis and rhine and cab sauvignon, but to me they all basically taste like 1) sweet and 2) booze.


    I really shouldn't admit that I like it, but I do.
