What is considered a bad habit for me is smoking cigars. While smoking anything has been frowned upon for the past 60 years, some people held on to the tradition.
I got into it about 6 months ago and I first smoked cigarettes, but the sparks that fall onto me when driving, causing holes in my clothes to form, combined with the short smoke time drove me to cigars.
I shouldn't be smoking cigars since I have a life long chronic respiratory disease that cuts my lifespan in half, and smoking doesn't help. Although my pulmonary function tests suggest that smoking cigars so far hasn't hindered my lungs yet, at least. My score was 114, matching my all time best.
Doctors have also sent me notices to stop using tobacco, along with my parents, citing the damage it will cause to my lungs. Others warn me that they're death sticks, but my response to that is that I like cigars already, there's no need to give me more reasons to keep smoking cigars by making me aware of the fact that each puff i take brings me closer to the grave.
I was supposed to die before the age of 21 when I was born, now I'm 24 and show no signs of deterioration. The idea of dying sooner doesn't scare me since I've already been on this world for far too long, and I've wanted to die for a very long time. Smoking cigars reduces my blood pressure and makes me feel relaxed, that's more than I can say about any medication I've ever taken, and I've tried literally hundreds through my life with no success.
I think I crushed all of mine and technically you aren't really smoking cigars, you don't inhale cigar smoke so you are technically just puffing a cigar.
