Smoking is cool kids, don't you forget it,
I'm a student so when someone says half price, you have me at hello sailor! But smoking is becoming a chore! Yes I am a smoker. And yes I’ve heard all the crap jokes that go along with it , but I have developed a fool proof plan at saving money while smoking, and I’m willing to share it with you now.
On a recent drunken walk home I came across a homeless man who I’m assuming was off his face as he was having a large amount of difficulty sitting up. As I walked by with a couple of friends he asked for a spare cigarette , actually it was more “ goooooot asmoooke?”. With a fag lit in one hand and the remainder of the pack in the other hand, I didn’t see the problem. I lit it and handed it to him. He seemed quite greatful and a heartfelt “nnniiiice one” was replied. He then took a drag and looked at me like I had just insulted his mother. A little confused I asked him, was he alright. He stood up, amazingly, and said there was something wrong with my cigarette. He then threw it on the ground and proceeded to walk away.
A little bemused and what I just witnessed, I shrugged it off and went off to talk to my friends again about how the universe would be so much better if there were more lesbians in the world.
What I had failed to mention was that I smoke menthol cigarettes. Clearly he wasn’t a fan. I love them and no one else seems too. Except for old women who seem to be the only other people in the shop who buy them. But what I am saying in a roundabout way is menthol cigarettes are the way of the future. Most people in the smoking area of the George are off their face and only want a smoke so they can ask the cutie next to them for a light. Well if you too are fed up of giving away cigarettes then start on the menthol!Or at least have one in your pack. When they see a cigarette that looks like you’re smoking a tampon they usually go away.
