Oh yeah I definitely know what you're talking about...I'll show up to school after a well-deserved 'wake & bake' and have all the portuguese conservative girls look at me in disgust and make some snide remark, or when I saw these 2 girls that never did any drugs start smoking cigarettes I told them "what are you doing? Why do you smoke cigarettes?"

and they'll respond with "well why do you smoke weed, it's so much worse."

then I'll throw a few facts their way and they'll just shut up, or just say "whatever" and leave..

that's the thing I was talking about, people dont' like to accept the facts, they like to ignore them or refuse to believe them..

Fuck I smoke to get high, I smoke to feel good, I smoke to relax, I smoke to socialize, I smoke to get to know people better (I'm shy when I'm sober), I smoke to stay away from alcohol (i like being drunk and all, but I don't like what I do), etc.

Sure cigarettes have their social benefits and help pass time (Trust me, when I used to smoke ciggs, all we'd do sometimes is walk around town smoking and talking, but it felt pretty good...certainly not the same as if we walked and talked WITHOUT smoking...it definitely adds a bit socially, but it's not worth it).
