i'm trying to quit smoking using these herbal cigarettes. they contain no nicotine, or for that matter, tobacco, and appear to be entirely composed of sage and catnip. it doesn't feel like smoking, it doesn't taste like smoking, and it isn't nearly as satisfying. it's like fucking methadone for smokers.

my point is that when you quit smoking, all of the people you know who have also quit try to buck you up by telling you their own experiences with quitting, like which cigarette is the hardest to give up. to wit:

"oh, that first one in the morning. definitely the worst."

"the one after meals. that's a killer. it's like the meal's not over without a cigarette."

"the 'stuck-in-traffic' smoke. that was the hardest for me."

"the one after sex..."

"the one after class..."

"the smoke break at work..."

"the last one of the day..."

you know fucking what? THEY'RE ALL THE WORST ONE TO GIVE UP! THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT AN 'ADDICTION,' STUPID!

on an entirely unrelated note, i just wanted to point out that i think it's interesting that people who sell drugs and people who sell cars are both called "dealers."
