bad habits: smoking

When I was younger, I used to belive, that tile joints were a smoking drugs...

When I was 5 and an adult I knew would get drunk or smoke, my Mom showed me a video to make sure I wouldn't do it when I was older, and the video showed that this weird black stuff accumulated in the lungs of someone who smokes. I thought it was a sludge monster, and that it was going to come alive out of the vial they had it in and eat her, and I thought alcohol was some kind of special drink that made you happy, but if you were greedy and wanted to much happiness, it would make you sleep so that you wouldn't be happy at all.

Safe to say I was a weird kid

I used to believed that smoking would make me a cowboy.

I thought cocaine and marijuana were the same thing.

Whenever I saw somebody smoking I just assumed that they were eating a Lollypop.

I used to believe it was necessary to blow to smoke a cigarett.

I used to believe that people who resolved to quit smoking "cold turkey" as a New Year's resolution chose the timing because of all the cold turkey left over from Christmas.

You know how cigarettes come with health warnings on the box? Well, one of the warnings used to be "Cigarettes cause impotence", and since I was a kid and didn't know what "impotence" was, I assumed they just made a spelling mistake and meant to write "Cigarettes cause importance". I thought it meant that if you smoke cigarettes, it would make you more important. Which I thought weird, since being important is a good thing.

I used to believe I could stop pollution if I stomped on every cigarette that people threw on the pavement while still lit.

I only ever saw men smoke, so I thought that only men smoked.

I used to believe that quitting something 'cold turkey' meant that you ate cold turkey instead of smoking or doing whatever else they're trying to quit. I figured that since cold turkey doesn't sound that delicious, they must be so distracted by how annoying cold turkey tastes that they forget about their addiction.

My sister thought that smoking (a cigarette not the other stuff) was against the law. We were watching film and this policeman lights up a cigarette and she goes, "ooooh he's smoking and he's a cop!"

I always thought that second hand smoke was someone smoking with both hands until i learned about drug abuse in fifth grade...

When I was little, all the grownups smoked. My uncle told me that when the cigarrette burned down to the filter, it would explode. I hung around waiting for this to happen, but it never did.

When i was little every single adult in the family smoked (and still do) and then when my mummy said to me that she can't quit, i thought you HAD to smoke to live.

My little brother still believes that when you smoke, you blow OUT of the cigarette. He is 8.
