Smoking, puff puff!! song....?

Yea..
I don't know if giving a try at smoking had been a right thing to do. My first was a cigarello, in India, Romeo y Julieta. Cool right?

I saw one of my mentee smoking today. I was in the car waiting for the red light. They were crossing the road and saw me, he brought the cig to his mouth to suck anyway. It obviously was his way of showing me he smokes.

I cant really fault him, I'm a smoker sometimes too. Don't think I can be classified closet smoker, cos i don't do it in the wraps. Cigar was ok, but cig maeks u choke on the first try. But cigar kinda make me quite sick now. It's too strong. I still savour the first few puffs nonetheless.

Well, I said I'm unsure if I'd been right to start cos cig really is the fastest substance to 'calm' u down, by getting you high. a kind of anti-depressant, wad do we expect.. And during times of extremes stress, or relief, it's a great delivery method..
Something's wrong actually. cos by using drugs like cig, it's actually degrading your human status. C'mon, you mean there's fresh air out there, exercises, ppl to talk to, which all can help to relief stress or enhance pleasure, but one would rather depend on a drug??! That's second-class humans! Personally, I'm more disgusted by the fact that getting hooked represents a weak mind! WEAK!

No matter, I don't think it's a crime to smoke, it's a personal choice. The health effects are well-known; the psychological bearing is less thought and discussed; I can't think of any moral issues involved here..
Implication for my voluntary work, mentoring in this case, is the provision of the above information to the young minds.


I envision a session where a guest-smoker-speaker is invited to share his experience of first puff; subsequent effects on him; decision to continue smoking. Then, mentees can ask questions, have a lively discussion of smoking; debating why one should/ should not smoke. Importantly is to have a pro-active inquiry into smoking.

I believe smoking is a choice. Of cos i'm not addicted, so I can't be sure, but I have smoked over very short periods and I know I can control. There are some withdrawal symptoms defintely, but that's when I know I have the control. To give in is to be weak! Second -class!

Little pig, little pig, let me in.. or
I'll huff and I'll puff & I'll blow you house in.
