Smokers! ew...

So smoking is a nasty habit, period!

Yes, I used to be a smoker myself. I had smoked for a good year, during my tour in Iraq. I had my excuses. In Iraq there were really nothing else I could think of to do to make time fly a Lil faster. That and it seemed like everyone else was smoking.

I came back from my deployment April of 2007. I started to quit my nasty habit as soon as I came back into California. All I could think was, "I need to get away from people and have my cig!" It was terrible. I was sneaking out of my townhouse during the night or whenever no one was home just to have a puff of my roommates stash. Also I'd be more than happy to take a weeks load of laundry down to to local laundry mat to have 3-4 cigs while waiting on my laundry.

It was hard n I finally kicked the habit one month after I moved to Texas. I decided that a moved to a different state would help me get a fresh slat. October, I had my last grape cigar n called it. Of course there are occasions where smoking was okay, like drinking with friends and what not, but I no longer do it out of need.

I kicked the habit. The reason I decided to post this topic was because of an old man that came into my office today trying to pay his auto insurance.

He smelled so bad I was having a hard time keeping my smile up. I just wanted to hold my breath until he left, but my lungs were not strong enough and I couldn't type fast enough. My office was polluted with his aura of nasty, "I've been smoking all my life" Smoke. Not only that, he had cotton mouth which made him make that annoying, "dried mouth crackling sound" as if he was trying to drink in my cold AC.

I finally said, "Is there anything else I can do for you, Today?" He replied, "No, Thank You!" He walked out. I exploded with frustration!


Thus venting my horrible experience to you right now.

Yup, smoking is nasty, stay away!

Until Next Time,
