Even though I still had some of the congestion left in my lungs from the illness after a month, I still felt better than I did even normally when I was a smoker. I am a smoker. I started when I was 30, and within three years, was pushing 3 packs a day. Even so, some of you may still think I'm an idiot for doing something so incredibly stupid. Well, I agree with you.
Smoking is pretty stupid.
You spend money so you can inhale the fumes of some burning dried-up plant leaves. The tobacco companies put in extra chemicals to help keep you addicted, and no matter how much you understand that you'd feel so much better if you quit, you absolutely can't. I don't know if I'll ever be able to, even though I know it'd probably be better for me. The thing is, though, I don't really want to quit. What makes me mad is the things smokers have been trained, and are now forced, to go through.
