Smoking habits

Yesterday as I waited patiently for the bus to head to my friends place for some quiet time, I woudl normally have had a smoke. I realized this as I saw and older guy pacing back and forth having a smoke. I realized that used to be me.

Then I noticed that as soon as he tossed his butt to the curb, he lit another smoke. Now, the bus was running a bit late, and I had to wait a total of 15 minutes. In that 15 minutes, I watched this guy have 4 cigs.

I did some chatting yesterday with some coworkers over our break about smoking.

When I smoked, it was about 20 a day. Just under a pack here in Canada (they stuff 'em to 25 here). I found that I would "time" myself between smokes. I'd try to at least wait an hour. It was like a game to me somehow. I made that hour mark my trigger also. Stupid me.

Anyway, I realized that I must have smoked more than every hour as I would have had to be awake 20 hours a day to pull that off. Then realized, yep, in the morning I would have one when I wake up, and one on the way to work (30 minutes apart). Before breakfast at work I'd have one, then one after (30 minutes apart). Same at lunch time...and other times in the day.
Anyway...that was me smoking a U.S. pack a day. Every hour. Now I think of those that smoked 3 packs a day...no wait, they were Canadian that said that, so that's 75 cigs a DAY. Assuming you are awake 16 hours a day (8 hours to sleep), that is one smoke every 12.8 minutes. When do you have time to do ANYTHING else?

I'm not trying to tell others how to live, but how can you live when you do nothing but smoke? I figure it takes about 4-5 minutes to smoke, so that leaves 7-8 minutes BETWEEN lighting up? All I can think is that sex must be DANGEROUS. lol

Anyway, that's my little rant for the day. I'm sure I'll come up with another soon enough.
