A seriously dedicated smoker
Started at 13. “Didn’t take very long.”
She lights up. Inhales. Whooshing sound. She talks. But its not over. So she can talk more without exhaling, she holds her breath, then reinhales to keep the smoke down longer. Then she explodes into an exhale, because she has very full lungs of one part smoke and and one part air. All this with hair covering her bare breasts.
She does this again. When she is reminiscing about starting to smoke, it is with a fond look in her eyes like a treasured memory.
She likes to hold the smoke in extra long. She likes to move her hands away from the cigarette to give herself a longer time to suck the smoke out of the cigarette.
“I like smoking a lot. Its very good for your body. I like feeling the smoke to enter my lungs and” – drag, whoosh, hold – “completely capture me.” She does that double inhale again. She doesn’t want to waste any of the smoke on talking. Seriously. She really doesn’t want to release the smoke. “It’s good”
She does another one of her patented double inhales on a single drag, and then she asks, rhetorically, “What is it doing? Its making me feel healthy”, as she laughs and blasts out two nostrils full of happy smoke. “It’s like my spiritual awakening. (thoughtful pause), my life force”
How many per day? “Lots”. As she explains this in detail, she makes sure she doesn’t exhale until she reinhales, so as to not waste any smoke. (Her smoke is Reds, and that is expensive, so I’m sure she is just being a frugal consumer. Waste not, want not.)
“You definitely have a relationship with a cigarette. A long lasting relationship. It’s my longest yet. I’ve given more kisses to all the cigarettes I’ve smoked in my life…than any man.” Quit smoking? “I enjoy it too much. I think now that I may smoke till the day I die.”
And then she does a Red 100 in 2:15. At first she takes a puff every 13 seconds. It could be shorter, but she really wants that extra hold. Of course she has to speed up. So of course there are nostril exhales during inhales. But she definitely wants to hold that smoke as she usually does. And then comes the double pumps, because she’s racing. She knows where to put that extra smoke. Out her nose. And then comes the triple pumps. She is speeding up. But she takes time to enjoy a single pump. With a fan-like exhale. But not for long. She finishes with 6-7 pumps. But what’s this. A blackened tear rolls down her cheek. It’s hard work to smoke that fast. Asked how she feels now, “It feels wrong and dirty”, she says. Laughing. Asked how her lungs feel now, she says “Refreshed, in a strange way.”
Then begins a scene in public. She finishes one cigarette, but lights up another immediately. Nice close-ups, but nothing special. Hands free inhaling of course. The lighting is mediocre. Although there are double pumps, there is a little wind, and she isn’t a specialist at not losing some smoke to the wind. Even when she does 4 pumps in a row, the smoke visibility isn’t good, but you can tell that the smoke is going directly to her lungs anyway. She doesn’t want to waste any smoke.
And then begins a studio artistic session. Viewing her from above and behind. And she looks up at you, above and behind. Not great lighting. But the snaps are good. ‘What do you feel when you smoke’. “Enjoyment. Fulfilling my lungs. Peace.” And then her 95% consumed cigarettes goes out (it could be a joint), and she relights it. Probably is a joint. “Makes me drift off in a dream. Just focusing on the smoke. And where it flows. And where it goes. Reminds me of me…Asking me if I’m addicted? I am addicted to smoking. It’s my vice. It’s my nemesis. A good one. It’s the action of smoking, something you can’t get enough of. When it ends it’s a good feeling. You can start up another one. It shows ….have more, and more, and more, and more.” And then she lights up another one. “I like Reds (100’s) most. Red is a good color. It means passion. I have a passion for smoking. “ But the lighting isn’t good. But the close-ups compensate.
And then there is a bathroom scene, with bare breasts. And smoking. (Of course.) The lighting isn’t perfect, but the snaps are good, and the intensity is good. And the dangles are good.
But don’t ignore the other best dedicated, beautiful, unrepentant smoker. Ajda: Chain smoking model interview. “Its healthy you know” and she whooshes, and her cig reaches the sky, hands free, each time she inhales. And she clearly loves it. And she has great lips and she’s beautiful. Fran, bring her back, in studio.
