    I smoked for 9 months because I wanted to look cool. After school, I quit immediately because I noticed how cringe it is to pay so much for some dry leaves that give you cancer.

      Smoking is pretty cringe. I used to think it’s cool. Somehow i saw someone with a cigarette and thought: cool guy. Then i got older. I could legally buy cigarettes, i didn’t live at home anymore, there was no rush because you kight get caught. I knew people back then who said: "i’ll quit when it’s 5bucks a packet. Now it’s very close to 10, they still smoke. It smells absolutely disgusting to everyone that doesn’t smoke, not the smoke, the breath that smells like whatever you ate before, but dead and rotten. I had a co-worker who would smoke 10 cigarettes according to him. It was more like 20+ but i let him the illusion. He liked to eat a tuna sandwich and drink redbull every day. I can’t even put in words how that man smelled. His car smelled like a cancer factory and it was kinda weird seeing child seats in a car like that. (i grew up in the 80’s so it wasn’t unfamiliar, just weird.)

      And that isn’t even the worst part. I don’t really care if people stink and get cancer, they are all old enough, but the garbage every single smojer leaves behind is absolutely unacceptable, and yet it got completely accepted by society.
