Gone are the days when you had non-smokers giving free advise on how wealthy the smokers would’ve been if they really invested all the money which they smoked off!
Welcome to the days where most of us are addicted, to scrolling!
Two groups:
1. Those who don’t get that “scrolling is actually an addiction”. Let me tell you, it’s not a pastime dammit! Been scrolling for 6 hours now of our entire day!
2.Those who understand this and fall into the wishful trap of jolly well ignoring it!
Cigarette packets have “Smoking causes cancer” disclaimer. Scrolling also has it, in the form of screen timers, app timers, popups mentioning we’ve been spending x-many hours and we need a break..
Fun fact:
These jargons don’t really help and the companies know it!
Here’s a cute list of how scrolling is way more addictive than smoking:
1. We start the day, literally once the eyes are open, jump into large glass screens and just in those small breaks we realise we actually have a reality to live in. Smoking a cigarette at least is during the recesses.
2. It’s not just social media. I’ve been out of major social media platforms for a solid one plus year now! I’m off all these addictions now… 😇
what, no! I’m no perfect either, I’m just a youtube zombie now who scrolls through carefully curated playlists! It’s super hard for me to not spend at least 2 hours on YT now! 🙈🙄
Pssst… I saw a video on YouTube about one who scrolls through food delivery app even if they’ve not planned to order anything!
3. A smoker has a situation to be called a “chain smoker” which can at least help them realise it’s high time to bid good bye to the buds,
but imagine who’s going to give us the warning call “you’re a chain scroller, you need to stop!”, no one, because others are busy scrolling! 😦

I don’t wanna make this too long, because you’d be then scrolling through this article!
*badumm tzsss*
All I have to say is, set a timer and listen to the timer when it rings, don’t neglect it, hit the lock button and… and… get up, interact with reality or just gaze up, even if you’re staring at a dirty fan in your room, because now you know now is the time to clean your fan! I start this with myself first!
Don't wanna sound more boomer!
Happy living (the real life),
Until next time, ba bye!
