Cigarettes and Red Vines

Yes, it's an Aimee Mann song, but it's also a message - "Two things that are delicious fresh."

And maybe that's why I've been smoking 10 cigarettes a day. They just taste better when they're fresh. I used to smoke a pack a week, before I was a confirmed smoker. I started to notice that by Saturday night, my Monday morning smokes didn't taste the same - a difference that became more noticable the less I drank.
Until recently, I was smoking only about 5 a day - the more I smoke, the less sensitive my taste buds, the more they demand freshness. A vicious cycle.
