Excuse me, Ma’am…

Last updated on July 18, 2026

The rumor that former smokers become the worst non-smokers is true after all, and I am the living proof. Let’s face it; I am the most annoying ex-smoker in the making.

Can somebody please print some flyers and let me stand on a street corner?

 “Excuse me, Sir….you are smoking…..what is wrong with you? Here you go… take a flyer”

 I hold back at home and don’t annoy my smoking husband too much with my newfound wisdom, but let me lose and get me out of the house, and I am unstoppable!

 “Excuse me, Ma’am…you are still smoking…haven’t you heard that I quit?  You can do it too…..here take a flyer”

 I can give anti-smoking speeches for hours! I have so much information in my head, it’s like an overload, and I just have to spit it out…like a ticket machine.

“What do you want? Ahhh, you want to know how to quit….there you go…take a flyer!”

 I can list warnings, risks, and reasons why you should quit smoking in lightning speed! 

“Hey, kid…don’t you know that you can die of cancer when you smoke…here take a flyer!”

I could argue with smokers until the end of time…I have all the answers. I did my research, and they won’t find a good reason to smoke, because I can list all the reasons why they should stop smoking! For Heaven’s sake, I quit…they need to quit too!

 Where was I when I started smoking 35 years ago? Or wait, let me think here for a second! 

 Well, let’s face it…I would have smoked anyway! I wasn’t ready then….But I am now! 

 I can’t make anybody quit; I can just stand on the sidelines and offer help and support!

OK then….cancel the flyers!
