Much of Europe Bans Smoking; Germany Keeps Puffing AwayGo Germany!
Earlier this year I cut down on my smoking. Drastically. From about a pack a day for 3 years (and from about half one a couple of years before that) to what prolly adds up to two sticks every week, I guess I've pretty much kicked my addiction. It wasn't the first time I decided I was going to quit. I don't really want to quit. But I seem to have lost my taste for it somehow. I suppose it would be much much better if I stopped altogether but I happen to like smoking. Okay I no longer do but I still like the idea of a cigarette. It never lets you down, it's never far away when you want it, it never pretends to be anything else, it doesn't make promises it can't keep. The great Oscar Wilde said this about it: “A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?” I couldn't agree more. It's a dependable, constant and comforting friend. I realize I'm making a dangerous stand here, countries left and right being fascist about it, increasing smoking bans in public places and all that. But...oh for feck's sake, I'm trying to get off the fence here for once and forming an opinion but I can't do it with all this work I have to do. Teehee. Where was I? Oh I really have to go :(
But the point is this: Go Germany! Oh and people should stop smoking at some point in their lives...and I'm back in the middle of the road.

I used to think that smoking reminded me that I was breathing. Now I realize that I was just too young at the time. Filled with the anger that's infused in youth. Now, I rationalize that it contains chemicals that help me focus my metal acuity. About never pretending to be anything else of making promises it can't keep, I agree. You know that when you puff out, smoke will go away and disappear. From the start, you know this and its alright because you know there's another puff coming after. Unfortunately, smoking accompanies us in the worst of times and the best of times. A cigarette on a fresh midnight campus and a pack when you realize that something isn't working. Never apologetic, the cigarettes pile up in the ashtrays of our lives. Smokers are left to remember fondly and regret the past.
Exactly. You get it.
