I quit smoking almost directly after I started
I'm not sure why I began
but I do know why I quit
you
you'd always say
"Jacob, for god's sake, you're gonna die before you turn twenty-five"
we weren't together, no
but we did hang out a lot
I wanted to be a couple
so, when you remarked
"smoking is so unattractive"
I quit cold-turkey
we were dating by the next month
