    Don’t smoke cigarettes is cool if you didn’t grow up in a world where they were handing you cigarettes when you were seven years old.

    I quit heroin. Fucking heroin.

    Do you know what I can’t quit? Smoking.

    I was given my first cigarette when I was five years old. I was smoking a pack a day by the ripe old age of 12.

    I was addicted enough that I went out and cut grass entirely to buy cigarettes. My brother and I robbed a delivery truck and took several boxes of camels. I was 13 when we did that.
