Does smoking make you look cool?

And yet he's offered me one. I have even less reason to smoke now, yay!

As GD said before he smokes an occasional clove. I don't mind the smell if I'm standing next to him, but I no longer let him kiss me immediately afterwards. It fades to an acceptable level soon afterward.

It's funny, I never thought of it that way. I actually agree with Steph for the most part - that seeing someone smoke reminds me of the unhealthy nature of it. But when you put it that way I realize that's a programmed response. Why don't I feel that way when I see someone eat something unhealthy, or drink, or do other recreational drugs for that matter? Totally programmed. Again, it may be because of my parents.

I also dislike the idea of being an addict to anything, as I've said a million times about coffee - but now I drink coffee or tea almost every day.

The pictures that Euro posted are sexy to me but not because of the cigarrette. If you crop out the cig in either shot the sex appeal goes WAY up for me.
