It is often hard at times when you really want to light up a cigarette but you need to resist because you just have to. This is often the case for me whenever I go to the mall. The whole place is just a large non-smoking area, and although I’ll only be spending a few hours around the place, sometimes, I feel like I need to go a long way outside just to smoke a stick or two.

When I am at home, whenever I feel the need, I simply light up a cigarette and goes to relaxed mode, but when I’m in public places where smoking is against the law, I would just have to find an area to smoke, whether it is nearby or a few hundred meters away. It was never an issue for me, if that was the only choice I have just so I can smoke.

Before, smoking was allowed in the primary and secondary streets, so I could easily buy a stick of cigarette in a nearby store and light it up without any hesitation because of the fear that someone in uniform is going to catch me and either make me clean the streets or demand for a fine. Recently, smoking in public places has been banned, and this had become one of my dilemmas when I’m wandering around. 

It’s really a pain when I cannot smoke when I want, so I tried buying myself an electronic cigarette, as many said that it is not considered smoking when using such device, since there is actually no smoke coming out from it but rather vapor. It was great having to own one of those electronic cigarettes, as I didn’t need to walk a few hundred meters just so I could satisfy my craving. However, it didn’t feel much like the real cigarettes, especially because for one, it didn’t produce the same amount that you could exhale from using genuine cigarettes. But it still is better than having nothing. What’s great about the electronic cigarette is that they come in nice flavors, so it keeps me a little interested, though I wish it did feel like the real deal.
