I Only Smoke When I Drink

So you think you can stop smoking at any time – right?  Wrong!  See that’s how it starts.  You’re having cocktails with friends and one of them smokes.  You have a puff because the alcohol has numbed your sensibility.  Pretty soon, you’re bumming cigarettes off of anyone you can find.  Then you buy your first pack.

Of course, you keep telling yourself that it’s only when you drink.  This is where the problem comes in.  Because you have convinced yourself of this, you begin drinking just so you can have a smoke.  Now you’re not only damaging your body with nicotine, but with alcohol as well.

Let’s say you get control of the whole alcohol thing – what about the smoking?  You start to use it as an excuse saying you can’t give up both vices all at once.  So you continue to smoke to offset the difficulty you’re having stop drinking.

It’s a vicious cycle, and we guarantee that eventually, you’ll have another drink and the smoking will continue until you’re back to where you started – only smoking when you drink.  Yeah right!
