With enough coffee, cigarettes, and pills anything is possible. Measure your time and progress in terms of numbers of cigarettes. So like a cig takes 10 minutes to smoke. At 4 shots per minute that’s 40 shots a cig. Times 20 cigarettes in a pack that’s 800 shots a pack. 10 packs in a carton. Well you get the idea. Time to level up on your smoking if you want to get better.
