Maitri had never smoked, but she bought a pack anyways. She sat on her bed for an hour before finally opening the box of cigarettes. When she did, one of the cigarettes fell out and rolled to the floor. I knew right then something was wrong with this whole idea, Maitri thought to herself. Maitri picked up the fallen cigarette and studied it closely in her hand. It had no telltale odour that would signal that tobacco was definitely inside the thin paper tube, yet she couldn't help but hope that it would give her something to hold onto while trying to break her addictive habit. Just as she'd hoped, the cigarette lit up like a sparkler at the 4th of July. Maitri then set it down and decided to try one more time to quit; no matter what it takes, I'm going to stop this. The following Saturday, Maitri turned her television on and was greeted by an advertisement for Camel cigarettes: "Because Change Starts With You." That was all Maitri needed to hear and she opened the drawer in her dresser where she kept her cigarettes. As she reached into the drawer for a cigarette, Maitri noticed that there were no longer any Camel boxes in it. She then remembered that she had taken the entire box of cigarettes with her the previous Saturday night. Maitri now understood what it feels like to be addicted to something; she couldn't stop thinking about needing one now that they were no longer there for her. Despite knowing how awful it would make her feel, Maitri felt she needed to have another cigarette. Suddenly, a voice in her head told her not to wait until tomorrow this time. I know what I'm going to do, Maitri thought as she walked over to her bathroom sink. "I'm going to swallow all my cigarettes at once instead of being so slow about it. This way I won't get hooked on them." I've done that before, and then I end up ruining the taste of everything else. Besides, what's one more night of hurting myself? The next day, Maitri did exactly what she said she would do: to her surprise and delight, she did not want a single Camel cigarette. Instead, she started swimming with her head in the water when the burning tobacco smell grew too strong. While swimming in the pool with her head under water, Maitri thought about how nicely that black ashtray would look on my desk in my office with an executive-looking pen holder in its center just like all the others in the entire building. It didn't occur to Maitri that the reason she was able to quit smoking was because she had finally found a way to hide from her smelly habit. The next day, Maitri noticed a mark on her arm which she hadn't seen before. She noticed that mark every day going forward and noticed something else as well: no matter how long a cigarette is smoked, the ash remains the same length.
