Bought a pack of cigs today.

40-50 years ago, you smoked because it was cool.

Now, in our state at least, and I'm guessing pretty much everywhere, a person that smokes is looked down upon.

That's what I thought too, but when I pick up my son from high school I see a ton of kids lighting up cigarettes as they walk out of the parking lot. Some of them even smoke electronic cigarettes. So apparently it's still cool.

I saw one of my mom's friend's son walking out of school smoking a cigarette the other day. He's small for his age and looks about 12, he looked absolutely ridiculous.
