best times to smoke a cigarette: 1. after waking up (be it a nap or the night's sleep) 2. after a hearty meal 3. after a long day at work 4. after masturbation (i would assume having one after sex would be just as good or better, but i've never had one right after that before) 5. any time, at varying intervals, while on any kind of mind altering substance 6. before sleep eh, i was going for the top five, but i slipped a sixth in there.
