I hate being a non-smoker.It is so boring! It occurred to me the other day that I really wouldbe a lot happier if I smoked.When someone says “good morning” to me,I cannot just ignorehim or her and go have a smoke.In fact, I seldom get an extra break in my workday.I cannotstop what I’m doing to have a quick cigarette.I do not get to go outside and hang aroundtalking to the other smokers at regular intervals on the pretense that I’m having nicotinefit.I’m not able to use nicotine as an excuse for my bad temper in the morning. If my nervesare jittery, I must have some sort of psychological problem. I cannot say it is because I havenot had a cigarette. I can’t even go to the psychologist and pretend it is for “help to stopsmoking.”
I do not have anything to hold in my hand to calm my nerves. I do not get the satisfaction ofthrowing my butts down for others to clean up. No one praises me for trying to quit —because Inever smoked in the first place. I do not have an excuse to buy new furniture because Iaccidentally make a burn mark on something. The candles on my birthday cake smoke morethan I do. I don’t have to sit in the smoking section at a restaurant —and so I am always in thefamily section with people who have their kids along. At the theater, I do not have a reason togo out to the lobby during intermissions. I never have an excuse to get out of the house andrun to the store for a package of cigarettes.Yes, smokers are much happier people.If it were justnot for that nagging little question about cancer, I’d smoke too.
