Every hangout place you go, you’ll be asked by the hostess whether you want to be seated in the smoking or non smoking section. And usually they will say the word “smoking” first then “non smoking”. It seems like everybody is still adapting to the new healthier environment.

I can be considered a heavy smoker. Most friends said I’m such a bad influence. I light up a ciggie anytime of the day. From waking up to going to sleep. If I can smoke while sleeping then I would have done it too, I guess.

With my reputation high up as a smoker, people thinks I would suffer from long haul flights or dying in a non-smoking environment. As a matter of fact, I’m doing well actually. I didn’t crave for any nicotines when I’m on a plane. But when I know if there is a smoking space and I could sneak out for a puff or two, then for sure you will find me there every other second.

Long time fellow smokers of mine had quit. Then they sound more like a preacher to me in the end. They forgot that they used to smoke loads too. Still, I can understand what they are trying to say.

All respect I do have for non-smokers. I feel more of another kind of minority again. The smokers community has been shrinking and i think that’s good. But I think some establishment should also understand and give a bit of a space to smokers.
