Back then:

> be 12
> see cowboy jack on TV
> see the protagonist always smoking lucky strike
> get a pack of cigs from the older kids
> smoke it as a joke
> get addicted to it
> life-time smoker created
> parents beat the shit out of me
Am I as cool as you, Mr. Cowboy Jack?

Now:

> be 13 year old edgelord
> idolize cartman in south park
> hate parents for being assholes
> they not taking you seriously because you're a kid
> see package of cigs
> it has "not to be sold over 18" written on it
> come up with idea
> get a pack of cigs from the few older kids who still smoke
> smoke it as a joke
> get addicted to it
> life-time smoker created
> other kids make fun of me by sending the suicide hotline to me 
Am I as cool as you, Eric Cartman? Am I a real adult now, mom and dad? Also fuck you Anita Sarkeesian for wanting to ban video games!
