I Tried Smoking
Blog #201
March 29, 2022
Wandering again here in read.cash, I happened to read @Probinsyana's article earlier. It is entitled "I Do Vaping". Her article is inspired by the prompt made by @meitanteikudo, one of the best writers on this platform.
After leaving a comment on her article, I visited the article of the initiator of this prompt and then decided to write my story about smoking. So here it is:
Are you a smoker? Why or why not?
No, I am not. Why?
Smokes from cigarettes can suffocate me. Every time I smell a cigarette, I feel like I can't properly breathe and it irritates me.
It's very evident that smoking is very harmful to our health so I don't want to be a smoker, not only that, we also have kids at home. I don't want to risk my children's health.
Smoking is very costly. One stick of cigarettes now costs 10 pesos or $0.19. Instead of spending money on that kind of vice, why not spend it on food instead.
Have you tried one? When? How? Why?
Yes, I tried once. When? I tried it when my ex-bf smoked. I wonder why there are people who get addicted to it so one time, I asked him to let me be the one to lit the cigarette. When lighting a cigarette, I need to inhale while the flame is touching the tip of the cigarette so that means I also had inhaled a few clouds of smoke. After doing it, I immediately handed it to my ex and that's the only time that I tried it, and never will I try it again.
Cigarette, vape, e-cig, or tobacco? Nicotine Patch perhaps?
Cigarette, I tried once as I have stated above but it was just once. With vape, e-cig, or tobacco, I haven't tried those. And planning to try it isn't on my option too.
Does your family know that you smoke?
No, they didn't and I will not tell them, or else I would receive hundreds of scolding. My father isn't a smoker and has never been he did. My brother isn't a smoker too. I saw my brother and father drinking as part of their bonding but smoking was never been present in those bondings.
If you will take two users for a "you break" (smoking session) for some heart-to-heart talk or lung-to-lung conversations, who would those lucky persons be? Tag 'em!
Since I don't smoke, can I go with just the heart-to-heart talk or lung-to-lung conversations? If it would be fine, then I would be happy having sis @Jeansapphire39 and dae @Cleophia2 to have that conversation moment with them. I would love to spend time with them talking about how life is going on with each other.
When I was young, I saw my uncles smoking with their friends. That's one of their bonding moment while drinking they smoked too. They have fun talking with their friends while smoking.
Many times I wonder, what's with that kind of vice. Why are there some who get addicted to it? Is it fun doing it while the smoke comes in and out of the mouth and nose?
On the day that I tried doing it, I could say that smoking isn't good and fun at all. Based on the first time I tried it, even if I just inhaled it once, the odor of the cigarettes remained in my mouth. And I don't like it.
But I know some used it because it's their way of relieving their stress. As my friend says, while smoking she finds pleasure in it especially when she saw the smoke coming out of her mouth. She temporarily forgets about her worries in life.
How about you, have you tried smoking too?
