I am more than happy to sit with my friend & chat while they smoke their cigarettes however, although i still enjoy the smell of tobacco & chimney smoke, i simply do not wish to inhale it.
 
Why ? read on if you dare....
I have fought the battle, travelled the emotional roller coaster, experienced the unadulterated fury & naked vulnerability that is nicotine addiction & withdrawal. The 'journey', that after 5 + years of not smoking, I feel i have been to hell & back & the reward was reclaimed my soul from the devil.
 
I wear the scars close to my heart, the t-shirt hangs on my wall & I see it in my eyes when i look in the mirror.
 
As you can tell, there is no way in hell i'd ever smoke again let alone entertain the thought. I am extremely comfortable with that.
 
Why cheat ?, this is a game of cat n mouse, cheating will only end in tears !

Pass it up! I really believe that I can sit there while my friend smokes and that it won't bother me, except it might cause me to cough. I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke. (I've always used clean air machines.) Fortunately, I was one of last of my circle of friends to quit smoking. The vast majority of my friends were, and are nonsmokers. I think I only have one smoking friend, and she lives in Oakland, CA. Now many of my relatives smoke, but they cannot do so indoors at family gatherings.

You haven't seen your friend in years
You used to steal off for hours and chat with your friend and smoke
He/She offers you one for old time sake
No one will know
It's like old times
It's you , your friend and the secret
 
WHAT DO YOU DO??
