Why is it I always find out that what I’ve been doing up until now in fact is not for the better, but for the worse? No matter how much logical or practical intuitive sense it seemed to have made at the time it always turns out that some experts will arrive on scene to make some triumphant announcement that everything you know or thought you knew is wrong!
I guess I should be used to it by now, being proved wrong over and over again by the overeducated but alas I’m not. The most recent example was the revelation that light cigarettes are not less addictive, but in fact are MORE addictive then full strength smokes. Whodathunk it? Not me that’s for sure. All this time I’ve graduated to the point where all I smoke are “Ultra lights” and I thought it was a GOOD thing. Obviously not as good as it would be to just quit but better. Psychologically I was of the mind that if there were “Ultra ultra super lights” that would then be my brand of choice, so imagine that virtual smack in the face I received when I learned lights were more addictive and individuals who smoked them regularly were much less likely to quit smoking, and that percentage lessened even more as they advanced in age! I guess I’m doomed. I wish I never stopped smoking those full strength Camels.
Ah ha! I think I have a solution (Outside of outright cessation) today I think I’ll start reversing the process and at lunch I’ll purchase a pack of filter less cigarettes, that’s a “No brainer” right?
