...truly fucked up. As you may (or, I suppose, may not) know, the desire for a cigarette, like all desires, is triggered by particular sensory stimuli. These triggers are, to a certain extent, personal, but obviously there are a few universals among them. Observing another person smoking almost inevitably inspires (in smokers) a desire to... you know, smoke. So fine. On TV, in person, in a photograph... hell, sometimes you can hear a person smoking over the phone and want to light up. That's normal (I think). But how's this for a weird one? I was watching a movie - Blue Velvet, if you happen to give a shit - and the sight of a guy's trachea tube made me want a cigarette. It's nice, isn't it, that after 34 years I can still surprise (and repulse) myself? Oh yeah.
Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em, friends.
Yeah. The only time I ever even remotely want a cigarette anymore is when I see someone on TV or in a movie smoking. But only if that person is attractive and looks cool doing it. For example, the people on 'Intervention' don't make me want to smoke at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You don't think the people on intervention look cool? Weird...
