Smoking


I’ve always liked the way smokers who roll their own, smoke.

It’s the way they hold the smoke between the first two fingers, and the accompanying habit of using the thumb and first finger, whilst still holding the smoke, to remove loose tobacco from their mouth. Their tongue darts out fractionally to push the offending strands of tobacco out which is then grabbed by the pinched thumb and forefinger. The tobacco is then disposed by rubbing the fingers into the air beside them.

Whether there’s a sexual connotation to that I don’t know, however I’ve never really been a ‘rollie’ smoker. I can’t be bothered fiddling around with them.
Though I am told there are far less chemicals than those found in tailor-made cigarettes. I guess rolling your own makes the act of smoking far more a choice than a habit or an addictive need because of the effort. But it’s only a guess.

I often find myself checking out a rollie smoker.
