Well, here I am…having breakfast at my favorite restaurant in town. I just finished off my bacon and eggs and sipping on my coffee before work. I decided I needed a smoke, so I pull out my “Green Smoke” electronic cigarette and puff away. My, My….why all the stares? I want to laugh but just mind my own business, as I enjoy my drag of nicotine. Do I have to go outside and stand out in the cold to enjoy a cigarette? Nope. Do I have to listen to people complain about the smoke? Nope. This electronic cigarette has got to be the best thing ever invented. The fact that it is so much fun to just watch people react to my “smoking” in nonsmoking areas is just icing on the cake.
I had never seen this contraption until it was given to me as a Christmas gift. Honestly, I thought it was a gag gift. But it’s not a joke, it is Great! It is a win-win and all smokers need one of these. It comes with replaceable cartridges that come in different flavors with different strengths of nicotine in them. They are much cheaper to refill than to buy cigarettes and I am saving a bundle. When I need a smoke, I just pull it out and puff away. There is no fire, no smoke,no smell, no ashes and no cigarettes butts. Now, I can smoke wherever I want to and there is no more sticking me out in the rain or in a dingy corner of the bar. I don’t know why anyone hasn’t thought of this sooner. It is a smoker’s dream.
Not only are us smokers happier so are the nonsmokers in my life. The fact that my clothes, house and car no longer smells like cigarette smoke is nice for the complainers that could smell it. They are much happier and complacent now. The general public that I run across on a daily basis, they want to complain so badly. I can see it in their eyes, as I boldly and proudly start puffing on my Green Smoke electronic cigarette. The immediate offense of my “smoking” comes across in the form of glares from others. But there is nothing…nothing they can say. They cannot smell my new cigarette or wave the smoke away, as there is none. There is no ash or trash left behind to annoy them. Oh the joy, it almost feels like a smoker’s revenge. I just smile and enjoy my smoke.
Which brings me back to this morning, as I sit here finishing my breakfast on this chilly morning. Yes, I got a few stares as I smoked my electronic cigarette. I thought one old lady was gonna get out of her booth and hit me with her pocketbook. After a few minutes, they realize that I am not giving them lung cancer and they calm down. I just chuckle and look forward to my glares at lunchtime.
