Puff, sip, repeat ? The comedy (and Tragedy) of smoking and drinking habits:

If smoking and alcohol had a relationship on social media it would probably be called a complicated and toxic relationship.

We all know many persons., our friends , colleagues and a close relative or it can be a voice in your inner head who says “One cigarette won’t hurt”

“One drink is just for relaxation”

And suddenly the one shot becomes two, and then two becomes a habit. Then the habit becomes a lifestyle narrated in slow motion like a tragic documentary.

But now come on talk about it openly , we will do funny gossip before the doctor tells you it is not so fun.

The tale of mighty cigarette :The tiny stick with a big attitude:

Cigarettes are like the toxic ex, they enter into your life smoothly, make you cool for five minutes , then take revenge for the next twenty years and leave you in total destruction. The idiot whispers ,

“Relax , I will make you look mysterious “

But what you look like is someone trying not to cough your lungs out after climbing one flight of stairs.

When you smoke and give a cool ration don’t forget it consists of more than 7000 chemicals. And funny thing is that this is more than the ingredients served on a Pakistan weeding’s menu and trust me guys none of them tastes like a biryani , for me its unbearable because I often vomit when I smell it from a long distance.

Alcohol: The shiny liquid called as confidence booster:
Until it isn’t:

Alcohol is the drama queen of beverages

First: You are confident and funny. You become a philosopher giving life advice to a plant in your corner, hahaaa you talk to the chair, door, and bottle itself but can’t to the humans because you get lost in your mind.

Later scenario:

Later you find your texts with your ex are longer than your last semester assignments. You are dancing like your body is buffering. You innocent just fire a complaint in your body in front of the chief justice brain but like in Pakistani court it doesn’t get justice.

Alcohol says

Trust me , I will help you forget your problems.

And it does,

  • forget your phone ,
  • your wallet ,
  • your dignity
  • and sometimes your own house.

Why we keep going back even when we know better:

It is because humans are weird , like a child we know the stove is hot, but we touch it anyway. We know alcohol messes with our decisions but we still take that “just one more” sip.

Like in our relationships we are basically expert in ignoring the red flags.

But the good news is that we are good at changing our habits also.

A final toast( with water ) to you:

A life filled with a lot of happiness. We just look at the one thing which makes us sad , but if you look for happiness you will find it out here. Like there if you look for other choices there are present in place of alcohol like juices, beverages and they also taste good. And think about it, the thing which doesn’t give us a taste like the smoking cigarette then why should we inhale it. It is just the expenditure of money so just throw it and jump over it by your foot , same as removing alcohol and cigarettes from your life. If not the way your ex destroyed your mental health and gave you dark circles and dry skin like that will give your physical health a trauma. Your liver , which is near to heart attack, will die from the failure.
