hate cigarettes

tobacco. Especially since it appears that one of my dear family members who cannot seem to quit smoking will not be with us for even a year longer due to his developing a mass in his lung.

I wish everyone had this goal!!!

haha they taste like shiit.

but I’m overly sensitive to cigarette smoke. It makes me cough if anyone smokes anywhere in my vicinity. I’m the one who runs away from anyone with a cigarette, and if I can’t run I’ll turn my back and try not to breathe in that direction. I like to breathe!

Both of my grandfathers died of smoking-related causes, I detest the smell of smoke on my hair and clothes, not to mention the risks of second-hand smoke. But getting worked up about it doesn’t really solve anything—as long as some smokers are selfish enough to inflict their smoke on the rest of us, it is something we have to put up with.

I feel kinda conflicted about this goal. On the one hand, I want people to feel free to do as they please in this world, but on the other, I don’t feel so good about a habit that kills my friends and innocent bystanders. My father’s twin died of lung cancer, too…
