Did you know that cigarettes are a shield against meaningful interaction with other people? It's true. I read it. People protect themselves
emotionally by relating to their cigarettes instead of each other. That's what struck me last night watching all those people standing around with their cigarettes. Why is everyone so afraid? Why are people so scared of each other?
Oh, dark mother, once again I suckle at your smoky teat.
"I'm glad to hear thar you smoke. A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as it is."
