Smoking Sucks

I have finally decided to completely stop all forms of smoking as smoking for me was nothing but such great waste of my money & I never practically enjoyed smoking ever as it only caused me chest pain.

I was never really a regular smoker I used to smoke different kinds of smoking material such as cigarettes, cigars, pipes and the so called “she-sha” occasionally to enjoy nicotine and to fulfill the allegation that nicotine is a pleasure but I never deeply enjoyed it and there’s really no way to justify the physical and financial cost.
So since I stopped I have been breathing easier and saving costs, speaking of which a top of the mind estimate of how much money I pissed away on smoking could have got me the HTC HD2 I have been dreaming to buy.

so the bottom line is:

I stopped giving a damn about all kinds of smoking

and I will never blow smoke and make it cloudy around me anymore.

so bye-bye my lil ex-friends
