Love of Cigarettes

Hi, my name is Ashley and I’m going to talk about smoking! I am so for it. Who cares about all the consequences that come along with it? Eventually it will affect my bones, lungs, and heart. Premature aging is definite. Right now I am only twenty-two and it looks as if I’m fifty. These deep wrinkles really define my beauty. Not only do I enjoy smoking but there are people all around the world who I share this filthy habit with.

Not only do I love smoking but I am pregnant; it makes it even more exciting. That’s cool, right? It gives me such an adrenaline rush. I mean why not smoke while you’re pregnant. You should...shouldn’t you? I just love inhaling the smoke and harming my baby. The way the stinky cigarette smells to the ashes in the tray. I love it all and even the lung cancer that’s forming as we speak. All the repercussions of my silly actions, oh I don’t care about any of it. I’m sure she will come out perfectly fine. My mom smoked while she was pregnant with me and look I’m perfectly fine. Well, I mean she had me three months early but see it’s not that bad. Cigarettes cost ten dollars a pack, which is really expensive. I spend the majority of my money but it is totally worth it. Sometimes I even spend my bill money on them. My landlord often threatens to kick me out if I don’t come up with the money but that doesn’t affect me any. My cigarette addiction is extremely bad. My clothes, house, everything smells like smoke.

People hate to be around me. My family keeps trying to convince me to stop but I just won't allow myself to. One day I even let my twelve year old niece smoke with me, like come on it's not like it’s a real drug! She totally freaked out and had to get rushed to the hospital. Come to find out the little bastard was allergic to tobacco. "Auntie’s baby" ended up lying and saying she tried it with her friends so I wouldn't be thrown in jail. Picture that; me in a cell. Haha. Anyways, smoking relieves stress. The baby is not even here yet and already causing me trouble. I smoke at least a pack a day or even more. My family gets so upset with me. They tried to even send me to rehab. What the heck? It's not like I'm crazy! I honestly don't even think it's that deep. After the incident with my niece she even threatened to tell my family if I don't quit once the baby arrives. I'm thinking about just quitting because if she tells it will just jeopardize so much. Then again, almost two thirds of the world’s population smokes. It's not like it can kill you.... Well even if it does we're all going to die one day, so why not die from something you love doing.
