When ekoms gets in your seye....

I've always derived mild amusement from watching the new smoker; awkwardly drawing on a fag only to immediately exhale the smoke that seasoned addicts so vehemently covet.
Whipping through cigarette after cigarette as they work on developing their personal style; how to hold it between your lips, how to hold it in your hands, finger-tap ashing or flick ashing etc.

Today, it wasn't so pleasant. The new smoker that I watched at a stoplight this morning was a male that was in his mid fifties at least. Not as charming when someone who should know better is just starting up a habit that has a good chance of offering him an excrutiatingly painful death and increasingly less pleasure as the addiction deepens. Not to mention the fact that nobody wants to suffer the spectacle of a fifty-something guy desperately trying to be cool in the act of learning how to smoke.
Dawg, learn to whittle....there's a smaller learning curve!!!
