  1. Julian is a very smart and handsome young man. But rest assured, if he doesn’t stop smoking he won’t be either for long. He’ll be just another sickly ugly guy with stained teeth and bad breath. There is nothing cool about smoking. It’s bad news all around. In this life you get just one body. So why fuck it up from head to toe? We all have our vices, but smoking is one of worse. Please stop, Julian.

  2. I hereby pledge to up my tobacco consumption 5 percent each time some patronizing stranger presumes to instruct me on how to best conduct my affairs, apparently on the assumption that the downsides of smoking had somehow escaped me until now.

    No, seriously… did this person expect me to strike palm to forehead in a “Eureka” moment upon noticing this comment and mend my ways? What fucking impudence.

  3. Julian,

    Whenever some busybody informs that, “You know, cigarettes are really bad for you,” I sarcastically intone, “Really? Smoking is harmful to my health? Why the fuck didn’t someone tell me this sooner?”

    If I was rich and wasteful, I’d immediately throw my cigarette on the ground and stomp it out for comedic effect. And then I’d light up another once they got the point.

  4. Julian,

    This is a dangerous game to play. Someone who wished you harm could pretend to be a well-meaning stick-in-the-mud. They could incessantly remind you about smoking’s reputed ill-effects until you’re sucking down 5 packs a day.

    Don’t laugh, this type of puffery has led me to engage in foolhardy feats of competitive eating.
