that only "bad girls"
drink
and smoke
and have sex
so does that make me a bad girl?
well, i dont like it either.
i feel guilty about it....
thats gotta count for something, right?
because ive tried to quit

sucking on that cigarette

jennifer you smoked camel lights and I smoked marlboros, then one day, I was 18 and you were not yet, so I had to buy you some, and the lady behind the counter was my neighbor, so I bought two packs of camels and no marlboros, and smoked the camels, and I hated them at first, but now I'm up to a pack a day, and that was in June, and you live in New York now, and I never see you, but I still think about you every day as I light that morning cigarette 991222

alicia this is odd..

the first time i ever smoked was in eighth grade at r.'s house with t. and h. and the funny thing about it is that we had just gotten back from this pentacostal church retreat thing. so like, an hour earlier we had been singing "lord i lift your name on high" and listening to people speak in tongues.. and then whoosh there we were at her house lighting up. heh.. i dont know. i just think its hilarious. and so ironic. and especially since in eighth grade smoking is suuuuuuuch a biiiiiiiiiig deeeeeeeeaaaal..

lovers lament paused with my cigarette an inch
from my lips
smoke tangling into my hair
your hand lazily brushes my hip
and i adore that half smile
even before i see it light your face
and although i know your heart
tonight i'll fall from grace again

an open floor of moonlight
tonight i'll kiss the stars
and become an empty twilight
and burn alongside mars
but loneliness consumes me
you'll never comprehend
an ache you couldn't fathom
sorrow has no end.

paused with the silver an inch
from my wrist
blood tangled in my veins
making sure every scar is kissed
and i adore that feeling
of a completely empty meditation
and although i know i shouldn't
it's an open invitation calling me.

CinnamonGirl hmm listening to y'all makes me wanna light a cig and suck it till the filter
I smoke winston and cough as I read it
I have asthma but I gave up on quitting, after all we don't get out of this life healthy anyway (especially me) my first pack was noblesse... sad I know I remember me and a friend stole it from her made, it was the first time I inhaled and it was so sunny we were completely dizzy, since then we smoked once a week, the we started smoking in school, then home alone I don't even remember how it developed but I sure know I can't stand noblesse now (no bless)
my most romantic pack was when I went to my best friend who I happen to be head over heels in love with (still) and we didn't have money so we bought a mustang pack for both of us
it was the first time we had sex

DanetteTN915 He told me that I was a little girl. Smoking on the porch with a drink in my hand, trying to be a grown-up.
Immediately seizing the pack and snatching away the one in my mouth.
He forgot to theorize that instead of trying to show him that I was grown-up, I was trying to show him that I was not his perfect, heavenly being, that I am capable of having vices just like his empty bottles of wine and empty girls he has used. I am no girl.

Nikki Ok ...I'm sorry, but being addicted is completly mental. I dont care what people say that is is the 2nd most addicting drug next to cocain. If you haven't quit, then you dont want to. I mean all you have to do is fill in something to do when you'd normally be smoking. For me it was driving, waiting inbetween classes, and breaks at work. Now I blast my radio and eat sunflower seeds. Yes you get crabby as hell and yes you get shakey but if you can just go 4 days. give yourself 4 days and let yourself think "I'll only smoke when I party and smoke weed".. (that is if you dont smoke weed every day already.) That's what I'm doing and I haven't smoked in a week. I was up to a pack a day and one day just quit. You will never quit by cutting down, it wont work. You have to let yourself know, that you can only smoke at certain times.. in my case it was parties. Even then, only have a few. Now I just find myself wondering why I couldn't buy just one cigarette, instead of 20, so I don't buy packs. You have to have people support you as well and dont tell them you're quiting till like 2 days later, it's much more gratifying to keep it to yourself for a little bit and then tell people "I'm quiting, I haven't had one in ___ days.. They get so proud of you. All but the ones that smoke, cuz they're jelouse.

This is coming from someone who drinks, smokes weed, and used to smoke a pack a day for the last 5 years.

If you Truely want to quit, you can do it! Mentally prepare yourself for the worst, and overcome it, it just makes your stronger each day.

Casey Last night my friend needed to talk to me and have a friend close to him. So I met him outside in the freezing cold and we sat on his deck and talked. He lit up a red. I had never smoked before, but I figured what the hell, I don't give a damn. He had 3 more packs in his car, so I bummed one off him and lit up after many many tires. It felt alright, I have been around many smokers before, so I had no trouble with my throat or coughing. It felt alright, kinda relaxing to my stress level even. I think just talking with my friend was worth it though. 011108

the girl came with us to the country, carrying packs of cloves, the kind that crackle into the empty night air when we smoke them and make our hands feminine, glamorous, languid.

r1y9a6n4 it was sunday no saturday morning. he awoke to the sound of the automatic coffee maker earning it keep. the cat crawled up on his chest and rubbed his nose against the pillow. the look throuhg the window was evidence that it had long been up and without a clock he guessed it was close to 10 or 11. still feeling pretty cloudy from last night friday? the bar was packed with the ususal suspects. all the same alcoholics that he sees every saturday?
he shakes his head and realizes that that was the last thing he should have done. once he has sat there long enough and the cat has peacocked the tail in his face just one too many times he emerges from the covers. "gotta stop doing that" he thinks. he approaches the coffe machine as if he were not yet alive pouring out the blackness into a twice used cup. black and hot. he starts out the door to get the morning paper (there is a mchine under his stairs) in his wrinkled boxer shorts that partied with him all night last night. the manager yells at him though he doesn't know or care what she is saying. he walks back up the stairs and throws the paper on the table where it will sit for two days until he throws it away untouched. he returns to the room form where he came and starts the computer. the fan whines and the drive clicks as his unshaven face is lit up by the monitor. he looks over to the side of the desk and grabs a small box wrapped tightly in its clear wrapping paper. he opens it like a present pulling its string and slowly romoving the top. he digs through the silver paper that houses the gift inside its box. he rumages through its contents to find what it is that he wants. the fire is flicked and puff

r1y9a6n4 it was sunday no saturday morning. he awoke to the sound of the automatic coffee maker earning it keep. the cat crawled up on his chest and rubbed his nose against the pillow. the look throuhg the window was evidence that it had long been up and without a clock he guessed it was close to 10 or 11. still feeling pretty cloudy from last night friday? the bar was packed with the ususal suspects. all the same alcoholics that he sees every saturday?
he shakes his head and realizes that that was the last thing he should have done. once he has sat there long enough and the cat has peacocked the tail in his face just one too many times he emerges from the covers. "gotta stop doing that" he thinks. he approaches the coffe machine as if he were not yet alive pouring out the blackness into a twice used cup. black and hot. he starts out the door to get the morning paper (there is a mchine under his stairs) in his wrinkled boxer shorts that partied with him all night last night. the manager yells at him though he doesn't know or care what she is saying. he walks back up the stairs and throws the paper on the table where it will sit for two days until he throws it away untouched. he returns to the room form where he came and starts the computer. the fan whines and the drive clicks as his unshaven face is lit up by the monitor. he looks over to the side of the desk and grabs a small box wrapped tightly in its clear wrapping paper. he opens it like a present pulling its string and slowly romoving the top. he digs through the silver paper that houses the gift inside its box. he rumages through its contents to find what it is that he wants. the fire is flicked and puff

floralieca Je ne sais pas comment, mais c'est ce que tu es devenu pour moi, une cigarette. Un objet que l'on désire, une habitude, une facilité mais oh combien nocive pour la santé, un système d'auto-destruction. Quand tu n'es pas là, je veux te voir. Quand on se voit, je reparts frustrée parce que tu n'es pas ce que je voudrais, tu ne fais pas ce que je désire, tu ne dis pas ce que je voudrais entendre. Et alors, j'écris toutes sortes d'imbécilités. À toi et à moi. Je déteste ce que je suis devenue. J'aimerais que ce soit si simple comme pour toi de redevenir ta meilleure amie mais il semble que j'en sois incapable. SVP, donne-moi ton truc. Je sais que je devrais arrêter de fumer.

Alors voilà, aide-moi. Ne réponds plus, ne me parles plus, ne me regardes plus. Je fais ça au nom de notre amitié, pour qu'il en reste quelque chose de viable en bout de ligne et non juste de la haine. Présentement on ne fait que se taper mutuellement sur les nerfs. Moi par mes e-mails et mes blathers, toi par ton mutisme et ton je m'en foutisme.

On se revoit à l'automne ok ?

Bonne chance -XXX-

pigeon okay.. so everyone who smokes knows that it isn't good for them, i'm sure all smokers at one point in time have read the surgeon general's warning... the pack i'm smoking right now says

"Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health."

short sweet to the point.. all of us smokers know that smoking is bad for them. so why is it that some non-smokers feel as though it is their job in this world to tell smokers that smoking is bad for them.

we all know that it is unhealthy, and that it is going to kill us. I heard on the radio the other day that every cigarette you smoke takes off 7 minutes of your life.. but it's the last 7 minutes. so it's not like you're gonna be around to see what you missed... and hell, we're all going to die some day anyways. so why not do whatever you want while you're still alive.

pigeon and another thing. i live in the crappy state of new york. where smoking in public places is now banned. which really sucks, cuz we all know how great a ciggy goes with a beer in the bar.. but not in new york.

and to make things worst.. all the cigarettes in new york either have a little black line or a little star next to the upc code on it. and that means that it is self extinguishing.. so if you don't constantly smoke on your cigarette, it will go out.. which really sucks for me cuz i'm the kind of person who will light a cigarette while on the computer, and set it in the ash tray so i can type, and it goes out before i get a chance to pull another drag off of it. which only pisses me off. it doesn't piss me off enough to make me quit. i don't know if that is what they had in mind, make people angry at their cigarettes so they stop smoking. i don't think that'll happen. what's happening is that everyone is complaining about them.

though i can see why they make them self extinguishing. more chemicles, i'm sure they'll find out soon enough that whatever it is that they added to ciggs to make them go out on their own causes cancer worst than smoking... give it time... but i'm pretty sure they did it for saftey issues.. if it goes out so fast, then if you fall asleep with a cigg in your hand, you can't burn your house down. i think that's why they did it. pretty sure.. either that or just to piss me off when i'm out of matches.

ivyducktwilightseto i lit up, then I got sick, and decided that cigarettes suck. I've smoked quite a few times since then, but usually only when drinking. And I haven't in the past few months because I am a runner and I'd rather have my lungs clean. 060414
