Last night one of our hosts in Boston wanted to smoke. We lacked any smoking aparatus. He’d heard you could make a pipe out of an apple. I decided I was up for the challenge. Check out the apple pipe!
I cut a hole into the side with a peeler then poked down through the top with a screw driver. Very neat and it workd like a charm. Here’s me smoking an apple.
I don’t really smoke. I’ll have the odd cigarette when others are smoking. Or if I’m tearing it up (as in the last week), I’ll smoke a ton. But I don’t smoke in the morning, I rarely actually buy cigarettes, and I very rarely find myself longing for a cigarette.
Thus, actually stopping completely has been very difficult. I don’t have a smoking “problem”, so each cigarette doesn’t seem like a big deal. Well, the time has come, I have decided to make a serious go of giving up cigarettes altogether. I’m shooting for a smoke free 2009.
I stopped drinking in a day, cold turkey. There’s much less social pressure to smoke, so here’s hoping I can kick this annoying habit for good.
Wish me luck.
