Friends, advice, and a little pinch of fairy dust
-
I used to smoke 3 packs a day for a long time, and quit cold turkey. However, that was my personal choice, and I don't feel I have the right to impose my will on others, even if "it's for their own good." When I'm perfect myself, then I'll play God (Moooohahahaha.... Oops. Premature. Sorry.) Until then, I live my life and allow others to live theirs. I always do my best to make people feel comfortable when they want to smoke. I like my friends to be at ease when they visit or when we hang out - that's what a friend does. And when I'm at a bar, I just don't sweat the smoke. I know I'm going to inhale some, and that my clothes are gonna reek when I get home, but so what? I have a washing machine, and if smoke was going to kill me, 3 packs of Camels a day would have done the trick. I mean, after all I've done to my body, it snorts at second hand smoke ("Yeah, bring it on, come on, is that all you got?") Nobody ever successfully quits because they "think they should", and nobody ever quits because people badger them. It's an internal decision that comes on its own timetable. All you do in the meantime is just piss people off, and diminish the time you have to enjoy with your friends.

Sounds like you're being a concerned friend. I wouldn't worry about it until you start yanking cigs out of the mouths of complete strangers.

"Like it or not, I'm right!"I've never been that desparate for a drag as to nick one. Alice thought that running very fast for a long time would get you to somewhere else. " A very slow kind of country!" said the queen. "Now, here , you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place".
