I'm thinking of taking up smoking (cigarettes)...

Its a fact. I mean just look at this proof of homotobacco sexuality:

Sexy:


Not Sexy:

I know a lot of smokers, and all of them want to quit, and agree it's a nasty disgusting habit.

Plus, a lot of places are banning smoking...setting yourself up for an addiction so hard to satisfy would not be wise.

It would be a stupid habit to start.

And we all feel down from time to time, Thorn. I assume your problems are not insurmountable if you apply yourself.

No smoking. They always talk about the health issues, but I'm going to give you a different reason:

Cost. Unless you want to be "that guy" who everybody hates because you bum cigs off of everyone else, you're going to have to shell out a lot of money to keep that habit going.

Money which could be going to nobler purchases, such as pints of beer.

That's probably Thorn too.

Don't take up smoking if you're worried about your financial well-being. That's just stupid.

Smoking is great. So is drinking. But smoking is better.

The best bit about smoking is the repression, and the siege mentality habitual smokers have had to adopt. Smokers at work get forced together into grotty little smoking rooms, or out onto the street. This includes senior managers and executives- so you get the Marketing Director bumming a *** (English slang is so magnificently versatile) off the boy who gets the coffee. It's a brilliant networking tool. In all seriousness, it's been a career boost to me. Plus- being one of those awful non-addicted occasional smokers that the anti-*** zealots swear don't exist, I get the best of both worlds.

I rock. Anyone want to touch the hem of my ermine robes?

Do it. Smoking makes you look cool and older.

I agree. Smoking has changed my life. I get all the hot guys I can handle now (and that's a lot)!

It doesn't work that nicely here. In general, the people who smoked at work were not the managers, but the cleaning staff and cafeteria workers. Networking with them will only get you ass.
