A passing thought and 5 minutes entry : Smoking at half price

Do you smoke?

I do. Small quantities though.

The yearn for a few puff is sometimes strong enough for me to take a break of whatever I am doing and go "bakar".

I notice somehow that after a few puffs, the craving is fulfilled and satisfied but most of time, I am still left with more than half a stick to go. My cravings are usually satisfied with the first few puffs. Talk about the law of diminishing margin; the more you smoke, the lesser satisfaction you derive from it.

Since carrying on smoking would bring no more satisfaction, the half burnt stick would always get stumped and extinguished. Terasa macam membazir la pulak. Kalau ketuk member punya rokok, memang kena marah pasal buang separuh.

Now ciggies costs a bomb now, don't they?

Therefore, I have resorted to smoking m stick up to half, extinguish it, and insert it back into the pack. Later when there is craving again, I get the "half price" stick and continue where I left off.

Now I get full satisfaction from a stick, and a quicker way to unhealthiness.

Oh, and I smoke Sempoerna Menthol by the way.
