More masterly than your average Bic tricks.

I can't tell if you're joking or not but I have to agree.

I never really smoked professionally. I only smoked maybe a cigarette once every few days at my worst. But when I moved away from my friends to find a better job in the city. I just didn't bring the past time with me and forgot about it for a few years. Anyway, recently I went to visit my friends back home. I was shocked to find how everyone has replaced their cigarettes with these vape devices. There's something missing when you're vaping though. Igniting a cigarette and having a smoldering flame off the end of your hand, and inhaling and exhaling during conversation just had a certain delicate etiquette to it. The kind of thing that when done correctly made you just a bit more of a gentleman. Even with all the proven science, these gestures and motions still somehow intriguing me. I wouldn't want to live with a smoker or have to put up with the constant odor myself. But if the alternative is sucking on a contraptions that looks like battery powered bizzaro medical breathalyzer crossed with a kitchen stick blender, count me doubly out.

Either way, just the other day, for no reason at all, while I was at the grocery store I looked over and caught a glimpse of all the tobacco sitting in the locked case at the service counter. I had that exact thought. "I miss smoking." I picked up a pack of cigarettes and a book of matches and I smoked one on the way home. It was a most enjoyable experience. I wound up leaving the pack of smokes on the garbage can while getting gas the next day, on the off chance someone else wanted them. But it was nice to have that little bit of nostalgia.

If this verbiage has encouraged you to slide down the path of habitual tobacco please disregard. I don't mean to offend, just speaking from personal experience. I'd recommend having a smoke for a laugh, and then throwing the rest away.
