How did they ever manage to romanticize smoking?? It's beyond me!!

Both!! And yeah.. many people are irritated the hell out of by the FSC additives
I guess it is something they coat the paper with
And it doesn't really work for some reason I don't remember

It's amazing to me that they made smoking seem like such a wonderful fresh enlightening sensual experience!! When you think about it, it's just impossible to imagine them pulling that off, romanticizing smoking.:

It isn't amazing to me. I fully understand the allure of smoking and I applaud the kids that are young enough to get away with it. I'm just glad that I have a healthier alternative and I am not jumping on the bandwagon to levy a bevy of taxes on e-cigs and supplies.

When I was a young boy, I knew I didn't have a long lifespan anyway.. I bought life insurance naming my parents as bennies and lived my life knowing I was going to die. Now I'm pushing 30 and I'm still around and I cancelled the life policy long ago because they've leeched enough from me... But the allure for me was, it didn't matter anyway and I thought I wanted to be a big bad boy who smoked.. I was maybe fourteen when I started. I don't know.

I don't know what the allure is for normal kids, you know, what they want to look older or cool right? Like I thought I did.. But had I known then I'd still be alive at this age, I'd never have started - and don't imagine why they would..

I don't understand most people, I suppose. I left school at age twelve and started hustling, so my picture ain't like another persons picture. I know a-lot of people with the same picture, but none of us really appear reasonable to society. And we don't really know or talk to eachother either.

Wasn't about getting away with anything, for me. I was making money on my own from age 11-12 and did what I wanted. Oh you don't want me to do this, go there, I won't pay the light bill ... Man. Had my own house by the time I was fifteen. A nice big one my father abandoned. 'Course he came back when I was 18 or 19 and globbed back in and I ended up leaving. I should have !!!! But at the same time my woman turned on me and I started drinking ..

Looking back on it, being a kid sucked for me. Never really had a childhood. I think that's why I don't care about sports or video games!!! But I did spend a-lot of time with wealthy old .......s who taught me a fortune of wisdom about government and business... and MARKETING.. thank god for them

I did play video games, though!!! Haven't in well over a decade but if I am over someones house and they have an old style atari or nintendo I'll play for awhile )
