They looked at me like I was trapped. It kills, duh! I had anticipated this very objection. They agreed. Now it was time to reveal those photographs. For my conclusion, which coincided with the end of class, I stood beside the door and handed out twenty cigarettes from a fresh pack of Parliament Lights on the pretense that it was just another visual aid. We headed outside together to smoke, standing not quite a hundred feet away from the building, but far enough. He hesitated to use the lighter I had just handed him.
He confessed that it was his first time. I smiled, mostly to myself. I once heard someone refer to his cigarette breaks as the parenthesis of his days, a way to carve out time and space from the busyness of life. In a perfect world, anyone who wanted to could smoke without doing harm to the body.
This is the promise of the e-cigarette. Nothing is. Chewing gum, body patches, cold turkey, none of it comes close to substituting for a cigarette. There are many explanations for this, perhaps as numerous and mysterious as the reasons for smoking in the first place. But e-cigs lack the flame and smoke of a real cigarette, a chance to be in touch and gain control over those ancient, primordial elements.
A professor of mine once said she managed to quit smoking only by promising herself that it was merely a hiatus. She would take it up again, decades later, in her eighties. In the Little Italy neighborhood up the road from my college, there was a small cigar shop that sold a seemingly infinite variety of cigarettes. The first time I went, I half expected to see Supersonics on the shelves. I settled for a pack of Fantasias instead, not realizing that inside its golden box was a rainbow of crayon-bright colors: reds, blues, greens, yellows, and pinks.
Still, buying them was the best decision I made in those early weeks of my freshman year. And while that veiled remark, according to critics, further proves the untranslatability of his poetry, with its obscure, symbolist imagery, it also speaks to me of the act of creation and contemplation that I associate with cigarettes, despite their destructive nature. To smoke meant creating space and time away from the classroom or the office, and other demands of life.
