I very much appreciate that Ben Affleck was featured twice in this one piece, both times looking absolutely off his face. Bravo.

“Ben Affleck looking tired of life” is my favourite genre of pic

Makes perfect sense to me, a non-smoker. Tempted to now take it up.

I probably can’t afford to though, so will have to stick with the healthy alternative for getting out of places you don’t want to be, and keep hiding in the toilet.

I love a good toilet hide! Or a fake phone call. Sometimes I’ll take a fake phone call on the way to hiding in the toilet 💪

That's where I'm going wrong; faking a call when I'm already in the toilet, which just unnerves people in the other cubicles. Your way sounds much better.

I don't crave it but I miss it if that makes sense? I miss it most when I'm working, when im at a party, waiting for a bus or sitting outside a bar or pub. Smoking will always look cool.

It 100% will, right?! As soon as the weather warms up too – that's when I want to be sitting outside savouring a cig with my face to the sun. Thank you for understanding the struggle!

Sitting on a bench right now, thinking about what's missing. Yes, a cigarette!

I'm finding this gem a year late - but for me the alternative was a dog. I get out, I meet people (I don't know any of their names - only their dogs) and I practice my Dutch on unsuspecting strangers while my dog sniffs their dog.
