Have you ever been diagnosed with cancer and then gone straight outside to have a cigarette? Have you ever spent over an hour in one of your grad school lectures talking about head and neck cancer, looking at polyps on the vocal folds, only to go outside right afterwards to have a cigarette? Have you ever lied to your husband over and over again by letting him think you quit smoking months ago....only to go to the coffeeshop to feed your habit there...hoping he doesn't show up there too? And, like many others here, have you ever gone outside in the middle of a Minnesota winter when it's 20 below zero to smoke a cigarette, switching hands so one doesn't go without a mitten for too long? My favorite part about that one is that when I was doing that, a favorite classmate of mine looked at me and simply said, "You're stupid!" How right she was.
I've done each and every one of these things because I'm an addict.
