A Smoker's Blog

This was definitely not a day to quit my cigarette smoking! Why? Because today my cigarettes were "buy one and get one free"! That meant I could buy two packs of cigarettes for the price of one - which I did! Every once in a blue moon will my particular brand of cigarettes be on sale like this (and its supposed to last another week!) and it hasn't happened in so long that I thought it wouldn't happen again! So you can bet your sweet self that I took advantage of the sale and bought as many as I could! I mean, how often are name brand cigarettes on sale? Not very often.

I guess smoking tobacco is better than smoking something else and I do know a few people who have smoked other things. I also know a lot of people that say that they want to stop smoking or quit smoking all together but I am not one of them.

The only time I ever really thought about quitting smoking was when I didn't have enough money to buy the cigarettes!

So for now I'm enjoying my "extra" cigarettes and hope that they will still be on sale next week!

He's currently in the hospital right now. Just like me he has been a smoker for a long time (over 20 years). As a matter of fact our whole family smokes! None of us (as far as I know) never even thought about giving up smoking unless we kind of kiddingly put it in a joke or something.

My brother has some health problems and while smoking isn't the main reason why he is in the hospital, it is a contributing factor. He did managed to buy some cigarettes today but I don't know how many he kept and how many he smoked. He didn't say outright that he was going to quit but he did mention that he should give it up. I think this most recent health scare scared him but I don't know if it will be enough for him to actually quit. There have been many times when he has felt overly stressed and puffing on a cigarette calms him down. I could say the same thing for me as well.

So its too soon to tell whether or not he will give up being a smoker.
