Maybe for you they do, but we don't know what he's been though. Personally I've been through some really awful shit and when I was in the worst parts of my life I know that a skirt wouldn't have made me feel better. I'm not going to say what they are because I don't really want to think about it too much, but I'll say it was tragic and traumatizing.

I'm not a smoker, I've never smoked but I have fantasized about... let's just say 'leaving this world' more than most people, who don't have PTSD.

I should say I'm not in that place anymore thankfully and my life has gotten much better.

I'm glad for you. I can relate to some of these feelings, and... I can see how a skirt might have been useless to the majority of people, ha.

You should seek help. If not only for the reason that there are better drugs than nicotine to make one happy.

That would be a long, slow, and painful way to go, and it's not even guaranteed to get you before you kick the bucket from old age, after all not everyone dies of smoking before dying of something else. It also has plenty of nasty side effects that can affect your life in other ways such as causing you to stink (both from your clothes, but also an odor from your body), or giving you gum disease which can make your gums hurt and also cause you to lose your teeth.

I'm not sure what you've gone through but I do hope you can find some happiness in life and not choose to go such a horrible way.
