Reason NOT to stop smoking - 1

If you’re a smoker this series of posts will not surprise you. If you’re not… what I’m talking about here are hard facts.

The first reason not to quit is S O C I A L I Z I N G ! That’s right, it’s much easier meeting new people and entering conversations if you’re a smoker simply because the more you non-smokers damn us and reduce the space we can use for our little pleasure, the more we feel like a community: we understand each other, we feel for one another and we can get together regularly to enjoy a few “quality” minutes and we’ll always have something to talk about

If this seems like high school talk to you, well.. it’s not! It’s not about being cool or interesting.

Think of all this as the kind of community with loyalty and communication that MAC / Apple users have. Makes you wonder…

Finally, to prove my point, a short example.

The company I work for moved a while ago in a new office. The building incorporates many firms besides ours.  After a couple of weeks my boss and colleague knew EVERYBODY from the other firms. Their names, ages, family count , vacation plans etc.  I knew NOBODY at all and nobody knew me. WHY?

Because at that time I had been trying to quit smoking and haven’t been smoking at all for about a month and my boss … well… he was and is a chimney! Enough said.
