Today I was walking to work behind a woman in work out clothes. She was smoking a cigarette as well.
Somewhat contradictory if you ask me. Not that you did.
Another one that always gets me is people who smoke while on their bicycles.
Except that takes a lot more skill than just plain old walking. I mean, just think of all the things we are (mostly) able to do while walking: chew gum, text, talk, eat, drink.
All with varying degrees of success of course, depending on the person. Me, only semi-successful.
To smoke while riding a bike you have to smoke, you have to pedal, and you only have one hand for steering.
If that's not skill, I don't know what is.
And since I don't smoke and haven't ridden a bike in about 8 years (even if you never forget), I don't think it's something I want to try anytime soon.
Maybe contradictory to one's overall health, but the shallow and vapid elite out there loves the ciggies because of their appetite suppressing side effects. Just like how I use heroin to improve my complexion.
