Still Not Smoking... Or Smoking 1 A Day...

HELLO this has to be a very quick post. I am still not smoking! (Ukh I hate to admit this but I DO average about one real cig a day; having said that I have just as easily gone days without, so I know that technically means I am smoking a tiny bit but it really is just that tiny bit.) Having said that, I bought shisha pipes for other people, and I'm the only one of the three who appears to have genuine intent to stop. The other two just want to get round the smoking ban, so they use them in waiting rooms, hospitals etc. I actually enjoy the e-pipe more than real cigarettes. I honestly didn't realize how much I wanted to stop until the opportunity presented itself to me. I **briefly**, it has to be said, looked up the "dangers" of e-smoking and couldn't find ANY. Yes nicotine is addictive and deadly in overdose (the fatal dose level is about 30-60mg, equivalent to 30-60 entire cigarettes at once). I get the impression that nicotine is (paradoxically or ironically) a lot like heroin in that it is severely habit-forming and fatal in overdose (what drug isn't fatal in overdose?) but that if you let it clear from your body it leaves your system strangely intact. It's the TAR in ciggies, not the nicotine that causes all those smoking-related heart and lung diseases... so it seems.

Oh, and by the way "nicotine stains" actually means "tobacco tar staining"... "nicotine stains" just has a catchier ring to it!

I did NUMEROLOGY on my name and found out my numbers for this pen name I want to use (a secret) EXACTLY match those of Charles Dickens... pretty coo for a would-be writer, huh?

LONDON is supposedly in a heatwave. Like hell it is! The temp here is only 28C. Tokyo is 35C, Oslo Norway was 36C last week. Death Valley was 51C just yesterday. There is no heatwave! It just feels hot. Because it's summer ~ duh.

ANYWAY I gotta go. Take care y'all and don't fry to death in this hot weather!!

Oh one last thing, and this is a real PS because I'll forget to put it in later... I read the autopsy reports on Peaches Geldof (daughter of Sir Bob Geldof) who died of a heroin overdose this year. She had in her possession just under 7g of "importation strength heroin" (61% purity ~ average UK street purity used to be about 50% a few years ago; it's about 25% now) and a blood-heroin level of 3mg per litre, which was TEN TIMES the amount they found in her mother, Paula Yates's body when she died of the same thing 14 years before... 

But anyway for the first time EVER since I've been an addict I thought far less along the lines of "give me that spare bag of gear" than "what an evil drug that heroin stuff really is"... how weird is that. And I wouldn't say I'm doing amazingly because I'm still using intermittently but I've gone a few days without and whatever I was buying I seriously doubt was anything like as strong as 61%... or even 25%... it was such rubbish (or my system is hammered to bits, I never can be sure...) that I feel almost exactly the same on just methadone as wasting all my spare cash on that CRAP CRAP CRAPPY SHIT!

Illustrated: I don't actually use the type up top, I use a nicotine pipe as illustrated down below... it gives WAY more vapour... middle pic=Peaches Geldof as a tot with her mother Paula Yates who also died of heroin overdose...
