I have learned how to smoke when I was in my college freshman year. My friends, being the barakos that they are, would smoke every break… every 10 minute break.
And so I was the only one who didn’t smoke. And I was laughed about.
“mag yosi ka na p’re, pwede gang ikaw lang ang hinde?”, they kid me half insultingly.
No one wants to be laughed about, right?
I could clearly remember the day when Marlboro Menthol and I met. That day was a day full of coughing and sneezing and all that crap.
But that was it, I learned it and quit it thereafter.

After finding these facts, I now have a hard time answering that question of mine.

Wow. The Marlboro brand is specially made for women. All the while I thought I looked macho with it. Pang chiks pala. And there still are tons of trivia and facts that would make you want to puke on smoking. There are also worlds of information on how to phase yourselves on effective smoking cessation.
Not ready to quit yet?
I mean, Why, in the name of love, not?
Mind you, no one has died of trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Unless, of course, if you choke on a mango seed or something.
But to those who keep a filthy lifestyle, you know you are asking for the limitations of your body. God knows what lies ahead of you. And with the availability of information nowadays, I think you should not know any lesser.
i think, quitting or starting, is and should be a personal choice. it’s my lungs i’m burning anyway.
