*and how many times did a drag of a cigarette after a few drinks make the drinks more potent? countless times, each time i got hit by a carousel.* i started smoking cigarettes after all the joints of half tobacco half marijuana, that was when i was 21, now i'm 29 pushing two months into 30, and i'm suddenly quitting... no, not the nicotine addict, or the prime active ingredient (carbon monoxide) ingredient addict, as sold by big pharma companies that give quitting smokers the rattling tick itch, ready to pop a synthetic analogue of the thing you once did... yes, did, because what's missing with that therapy of quitting is the actual aesthetic of blowing out smoke, my hands weren't ready to quit the 'the devil makes work for idle hands' popping a nicotine pill or chewing a nicotine gum will not work, you might as well compare smoking a cigarette to injecting a needle & syringe into your hand, the cold turkey aesthetic of chewing gum, patch of "cough nicotinemint" will really bother you, i tried the chewing gum once, very peppery, itched my tongue... now i'm the bishop's fat (that's φατ), because i'm drinking whiskey, carrying a portable hookah pipe and the auburn whiskey the amber whiskey flavour, cutting through with chocolate mint, i ordered more flavours, 10ml bottles of coconut, tobacco, apple, strawberry, you name it! but i needed a time frame, smoke my last cigarette by throwing imaginary dice (putting felt-tip dots on a napkin), drew:                     .           .               .                                       .                     .           .                           .      (5, 2) and                     .           .                                                       .                           .                     .           .                                   (5, 1), that's thirteen drags of a cigarette, clocked it with my last one, under 5 minutes, roughly four and a bit, after all, the cigarette burns automatically once lit, so you have to hurry, and the flavoursome vapour 13 drags? well into 15 minutes... apart from the aesthetics of the whole experience... no coughing, no phlegmatic residue in the throat, no tar numbing of the palette... and economically speaking, i'm going to be saving in a range of £30 - 50 a week not buying cigarettes.
