"I like Cigarettes; I like to think of fire held in a man’s hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his finger tips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come out from such hours. When a man thinks there is a spot of fire alive in his mind – and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression."

Only in the sixties.

Now not smoking makes you a trend following mindless retard.

Don't you know? Anti-smoking is the newest thing.

It was the same thing in the sixties, smoking was considered rebellious, daring and grown-up, and still is seen as such.

Sneaky fellows, them tobacconists.

>> No.564706

I find smoking to be a way to meet new people, either by giving someone a light or asking for one, or bumming a cig, etc. Of course, it also comes with the health detriments and the annoyance of having strangers feeling entitled to lecture you out of nowhere even if you're not smoking.

And personally it hardly affects my writing. Unless we're talking about smoking pot, in which case it makes my writing a lot worse because I can't concentrate enough to get any done.

pot makes things worse for me as well but smoking got me laid at the last concert i went to by meeting a girl just like me except more fucked up and was single for that short bit of time (she lived 3 hours from me so the relationship didn't last but a few months)

straight edge is just a way for losers to glorify their loserdom.
