Is smoking even that bad? Of course, yes, the social stigma and the health issues but honestly... I'd smoke just to spite other people. If I were the MC and basically have no goal in life, no dreams, and no hopes, I think it'd be cool to (instead of living like this MC doing absolutely nothing) make every single thing hate me, and then just end it all. Because at least then, people would remember me as that one asshole instead of even my supposed best friend not even remember me.
