November 21, 201411 yr They don't look a happy bunch....they look cold and fed up.... I'm so grateful ...I don't have to do that anymore.....I feel sorry for them....
November 21, 201411 yr you can tell it is a little cool and windy out, hence a faint rouge to their cheeks... women have make up ? but, honestly, doesn't their skin look kinda terrible ? and the frantic, desperate tokes are palpable. Poor addicts. What a horrible way to live. I feel so lucky, I realized the Truth in time.
November 21, 201411 yr It's a "social" thing, eh? I don't think so. If all those people in those photographs had the option of smoking inside alone at their desks or going outside to smoke and be with their smoking friends, which do you think they would choose? Forget the "socializing" aspect, people would rather smoke alone in warmth and comfort if they could.
November 21, 201411 yr I struggle at times, for sure thoughts come into my head... but this... well it's the real story behind smoking for me. A family holiday, that's cranky my Mum and my two kids, disney castle behind it. That's a mobility scooter my Mum is on. She has COPD, Heart failure (some left ventricle thing) and lymphodema...COPD and heart are smoking related....she panics every time she gets sick this is it. That smile is fake and that holiday was a miracle as a couple of months before we though she was having a heart attack!! She used to be really good fun my Mum. I mean she was always a bit nuts, but fun. Now there is pain and a struggle to sleep and rest. She still smokes at least once a day... it relaxes her... yeah right!! There is nothing social about her left Aine. My life is, at best difficult and her's is almost non existant. She is miserable as sin, all the time. There's no romance in smoking my friend. xx
November 21, 201411 yr I remember all the social events that I had to dip out of so that I could get a smoke. Celebration meals where I had to "take 5"... Social. NOPE. Anti social.
November 21, 201411 yr Not to mention the social situation's I avoided because I did not want to give up being able to smoke for a couple hours. Or the times I went anyway and took a smoke break and wound up getting the look from everyone else because when you go back to the socializing you stink. Sad, embarrassing and lonely indeed.
