Matt Labash’s Defense of Cigarettes.

  • Smokers are usually the best storytellers around the “Smokers’ Stand”
  • Smokers are usually the least judgemental people to be around, which is a great distraction if you’re prone to being hard on yourself.

There’s also a romantic look to smoking that non-smokers just can’t replicate.

Smoking is more than a bad habit. It’s also a great look.
