Don’t Annie, you don’t need them, you don’t want them, you’ll just be hurting yourself. They’re poison, they stain your teeth, they tar up your lungs, they literally give you a bunch of radiation too? which is like holy shit thats scary.
You’ll just feel awful. its not worth it, it wont ever be worth it.

Its true! theres fucking polonium-210 and lead-210 in them! Its not only toxic, but radioactive! Someone who smokes a pack and a half a day gets the equivalent of 300 chest X-rays a year! Not only are the things filled with poisons and toxins but they’ll blast your lungs with alpha particles ontop of that, weakening the cells of your lungs making them even more prone to disease and damage from the other stuff in them. And all that radiation is focused directly into your lungs.

It was a hell of a last cigarette, too. It was around august 17th or so of 2017, after the Battle of Charlottesville. We found out that one of the people involved was from my suburb of my hometown rochester, and every leftist group in the whole city and county turned up and marched through the Main Street, and held a rally at the local park. At least 200 people showed up. We had a megaphone. We were loud. At some point after things were winding down, I bummed a cigarette off an Anarchist comrade, the first one I'd had in at least a year. I still thought I was cis back then and the shit he gave me for it was absolutely withering, but he still even lit it for me. Maybe there will come a time and a place to break my streak, but 6 years later because I'm having a real shitty night is not the place to do it, you're right. Thank you.

Don't buy those cigs.

You don't need that stuff in your life. It'll drain your health, drain your savings, make you dependent on the relief you feel from fulfilling the craving it gave you.

The virtuous path sucks but it's the path you've got to walk, for your own sake.
