smoking stinks and smoking is unhealthy and smoking makes you look cool.

when i am cool enough to get by on my own, without my magic sticks of fire to prop me up, i will consider joining you on that side of the fence.

in the meantime, i’ll just say that if you are happy, it’s probably a damn good time to quit.
