Smoking in España

People smoke like crazy here. They smoke in the schools, the banks, some stores and of course out on the street, all restaurant and bars. I thought to myself it would be impossible for me to quit smoking here, but I was kind of hoping (and I did pray about it actually) that I would end up living with people who don´t smoke, although it seemed that every person living in the apartments I looked at seemed to smoke. When I moved in here I din´t even think about it. I just liked the place and I desperately needed to move.
Angelica doesn´t smoke but she told me I could smoke in the apartment. María Jesus doesn´t smoke and the day after she moved in I thought to myself that maybe I should just quit - especially since my prayers had been answered. It would be stupid not to use the opportunity. After all I had really bad broncitis that I needed to clean out of my system. It´s harder for the body to clean out when filthy smoke is being inhaled all the time.
I am a genious when it comes to quiting smoking. Like my dad said once: "just ask Ásta how to quit, she´s done it many times." Whatever happens later I don´t know and I´m not making any promises, but I have been a very successful non-smoker since 3PM, Tuesday, October 2oth. And whether you are a smoker or a non-smoker I´m telling you: it´s fu..... hillarious how easy it is to stop smoking. It´s all in the mind. I just had to realize that I didn´t need the cigarette. Allowing myself to miss the cigarette is not an option. Punktur og basta.... bless bless sígaretta, thú ert ekki vinkona mín.
