“Don't think of it as a cigarette ... think of it as the thing that's been missing from your hand. When you hold it, you feel right. You feel complete. “

“Hey you know, I've had it with you guys and your 'cancer' and your 'emphysema' and your 'heart disease' .... the bottom line is, smoking is cool and you know it! “

----Chandler Bing

Do you know that according to the latest scientific research, an espresso without a cigarette is horrible? It’s like tit without tat, peas without carrots, tails without heads or the cake without the cherry. It’s actually even worse. It’s like Sally without Harry, Garfunkel without Simon, la Résistance without Charles de Gaulle or la Revolución without Ernesto Che Guevara. It’s the magic without the prestige, the sex without the O.

To stop smoking will have a conspicuous negative impact on your digestion system. You’ll gain weight and become neurotic and impatient and so forth……

呃……意志薄弱的我，复吸了。

事情是这样地，我曾经轻易抵制住了同事们的引诱和唆使，甚至喝酒之后也没有抽一口。某夜，我正百无聊赖的在看《时时刻刻》，对于英美丰衣足食的女性知识分子痛苦的精神世界感到不可理喻。就在这时，屏幕上出现了妮可 基德曼扮演的Virginia Woolf。苍白消瘦的她穿着宽大的波希米亚睡衣，姿态懒散却目光坚定的靠在扶手椅里，自言自语的构思小说中人物不可避免的死亡。她细长的食指和中指若有若无的夹着一根烟，时不时深深吸上一口，眉头轻皱。弱小的我被深深的击中了，手不由自主的伸向老爷子搬走时留下的半包小熊猫……

我现在感到惭愧和懊恼。但是Bing先生说的有理：The bottom line is, smoking is cool。
