The next morning, which was a Saturday, I woke up and found Mac in the kitchen attempting to pour herself a bowl of cereal. She was fumbling around with the box because she was holding a lit cigarette while trying to pour it. Watching her struggle, I finally said "Like this, honey", and put my cigarette between my lips to demonstrate a dangle. She followed suit and I said "see how much easier that is?" "Now you can enjoy your smoke while you are still doing things with your hands". She nodded and continued to take small puffs while she poured her milk, constantly exhaling residual smoke. "You are starting to become really good at smoking, after breakfast I will show you how to really enjoy it". She got a really excited look on her face, and sat at the table to eat. I poured myself a cup of coffee, and went to sit beside her. I lit another Capri, and waited patiently until she finished. "Okay mom, I am ready to learn!" she exclaimed. "Great, go ahead and light another" I said. As soon as she was lit, I said "you have to learn to make the most of every cigarette, and so I will teach you some tricks so that you can love your Capri's as much as I do". "First off, you don't want to waste smoke, so you need to keep it inside you as long as you can when you inhale". "We will both take a drag, and then hold it inside us as long as we can, then breathe out". She nodded, and we both took a drag at the same time, and held it inside for five seconds, and then slowly exhaled together. "See how little smoke came out?" "That's what you should try for every time". "Wow, that really makes me dizzy, but it's fun, mommy!"
"Next, you see the little holes on the filter?" She looked closely and found them, and I said "you need to cover those holes with your lips when you drag, otherwise you won't get as much smoke as possible". Finally I said, "did you know you can take a puff while you are holding smoke inside you already?" She shook her head, and I demonstrated a triple-drag for her. She followed suit, exhaling slowly through her nose between drags. "Very nice!", I exclaimed. After her Capri had burned to the filter, I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her. "Keep practicing, and you will be as good at smoking as me very soon!" Thanks, mommy, I will!"
On Sunday afternoon, she approached me and said, "Mom, I think I need another pack now". She showed me her empty pack, and I proudly replaced it in her hand with a new one. For those of you keeping tally, that is one pack in roughly two days she smoked. Even I took a couple of months to reach that level when I started smoking in college. I think I have created a monster! While she was off to a good start, I wondered to myself if she could possible be a pack per day smoker by her tenth birthday. I considered the possibilities; my daughter's smoking habit could eclipse mine by the time she turns 11! Feeling jealous, I started to plan the next lessons for the upcoming week.
