Took this at Sea World a few weeks ago. My grandmother has yet to kick the old smoking habit. It is becoming increasingly more and more diffucult for her to find areas to smoke when we go out, especially to amusement parks. This shot kinda sums up the frustration for her. Let me know what you think :)

I laughed :) The pic is OK but the story behind it is better. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get my dear mum to quit either. It's such a disgusting habit, really. I can understand doing it "socially" (I've been known to have a smoke when I'm drinking, but not often). I just can't imagine it being habitual.

I see the picture just fine. As a fellow smoker I can understand her frustration. I was at Fiesta Texas yesterday and I had a hard time finding the smoking areas. They sure hid them well.

We have tried to get her to smoke so many times, it gets frustrating. Thanks for the comment though, much appreciated :)

I do not see why they segregate smokers in open outdoor areas like they do, makes for funny pictures I suppose :)

I wonder why it was a red x initially. Oh well, thanks for the comment :cool:

I heard a commercial on te radio that said "The average smoker spends $100,000.00 on cigarettes in a lifetime" Being that I do not smoke, I have even more money to spend on camera gear now :D

My local pusher gave me a toke on his L. Said it would make me feel good! Said it was harmless! Said everybody was doing it!

I caved -- now I spend hour after hour late at night cruising B&H Avenue looking for another hit while wondering how I can hide the charges. It's just another habit, I tell you.

So if I quit smoking I can afford camera gear? Now that is some inspiration to get me to quit:)
