When I was about 17 I started to smoke openly in front of my grandparents. My parents had known for quite a while but to my grandad it came as a shock. He still seems to have a problem with it and everytime he sees me with a ciggy in my hand goes: "You should be ashamed, you're too young to smoke", to what I would reply "I'm over 20, I know it's bad and that it's killing me but I'm old enough to make decisions and I choose to do it, assuming all the risks", he doesn't bug me all that much but he still makes comments about it everytime I light one up. If we were back in the 50ies and I was a guy, I'm sure he would be totally fine with it.


everything is relative and contradictory ~
