Cigarettes do not improve meals. They ruin them. They destroy your sense of smell and taste. As a smoker, all you can think about is why everyone else is eating so slowly and when it will end, so that you can smoke. Like I said, it’s not so much that we enjoy smoking; it’s that we get miserable and anxious when we can’t. It doesn’t seem to occur to us that non-smokers don’t experience this misery and stress.
