    As a never-smoker who knows all the downsides to smoking, the one point I do concede about the habit is it DOES look very cool.

    Vaping just does not compare.

      Every once in a while I think about lighting up at my job so I could be like John from Jurassic Park now that I’m in IT

      Unfortunately a) id probably get fired and b) I HATE the smell of cigarettes LMAO

        I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don’t smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you’ve never really pointed at anything, until you’ve pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It’s just a better way to point at stuff (I don’t make the rules).

          Disney cast members are taught to “Disney point” where you point with either two fingers or your whole hand, and during Traditions (job training/brainwashing course) you’re shown pictures of Walt Disney doing that point.

          At some point you realize that he’s doing that point because they just edited a cigarette out from between his fingers.
