I fancy myself a "Healthy Smoker". By which I mean, while I smoke it's not excessive, not a heavy smoker by any means, and I do all sorts of ridiculous and unrelated things to compensate.
I take vitamins. I drink diet coke. I drink all sorts of fruit juices with world renowned anti-oxidant properties, it says so right on the label. I think an awful lot about physical fitness. If I get a chance I go for Indian Buffet, the Turmeric in the curries is reputed to be a powerful anti-carcinogen. I take Omega 3-6-9 capsules twice a day.
I work a job that keeps me on my feet. Never mind that my diet, 5 or 6 days a week, consists of pasta with tomato (or tomato based) sauce, I'm moving, I'm on my feet, that's far, far better than any desk job. (if you're reading this and know of a job opening, give me a desk job and a salad, please....). I sleep regularly, once a day even. I think about Yoga and Breathing exercises for moments on end, and on those painful hangover days I even think of quitting smoking. Because it's never the liquor, it's always the cigarettes. I eat light, because eating lightly is supposed to be good for you. I have the figure to prove it.
I'm a healthy smoker.

I've parked in front of Hans's house, between two cars, the street is so narrow that he won't be able to leave but I'm thinking he's at work...
And I haven't even crossed the street when I find that he's had to open the doors to my car and crawl through the passenger and then drivers seat to get out of his house. He doesn't seem too annoyed and I apologize....
It's early evening, and the moon is surrounded by a couple of bamboo hoops, on fire, burning, strange optic phenomena of some sort, I go back home and grab a camera, return to take photos, the local playground is on fire, I'm snapping pictures, there's an eerie, unearthly beauty to it...
At home Hans has let himself into the house (old, European style house, old walls, memories), he's telling me that I can order my prints from him, have them mounted for $25.00 each, I tell him they're digital, but it doesn't matter...
