fire at one end and a fool at the other

To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know because I've done it a thousand times. ~Mark Twain

All my bootless attempts to understand one's addiction to smoking... The funny part of it being the explanations offered by smokers .. it is either loneliness or the fun of being with friends (invariably all smokers)... i dont see any other possible or plausible situation. If you do please enlighten me.

I dont see a difference between a full cigar and ten drags from different people around.
I dont see a difference between sMOkin thru the lungs or blowing the smoke off thru the nose.
I dont see the difference between ... no matter anything for that matter.

Thank you for Not Smoking. Cigarette smoke is the residue of your pleasure. It contaminates the air, pollutes my hair and clothes, not to mention my lungs. This takes place without my consent. I have a pleasure, also. I like a beer now and then. The residue of my pleasure is urine. Would you be annoyed if I stood on a chair and pissed on your head and your clothes without your consent?

This is defintely not what i want to say. not the least bit.

.... but try to understand... that i do care.
