I really, really love smoking
I can usually stop when i want and do every couple of years for a year or two, but i must admit the world would be short a couple of people if i didn't smoke and that's the truth.
As for the serious illness one could always walk or roll in front of a bus or off a cliff
€8k a year is cheap, considering the peace and joy i feel when smoking, esp with a cup of tea
Oh Yeah!!
If like in the past i could't afford it i would stop immediately, i consider them a luxury not a necessity, the might be a necessity for the people around me though
