On cigarette packages sold in Thailand, you can see some very ugly pictures showing you the consequences of smoking. Smoking kills... or worse. Effective, these pictures?
Hard to say. I continued to smoke happily during my little Thai vacation, despite this disgusting packaging.

It must be said that at less than 70 baht a pack (less than 1,50€) in Thailand, the economic argument has hardly any effect on a smoky French holidaymaker, any diver that she is.
My last stop was this summer in Bali. In Nusa Lembongan, after several unsuccessful dives, I promised that if I saw a mola-mola, I would stop smoking. Eh yes.
The Balinese Gods and Poseidon were infinitely kind enough to grant my wish. I met these big, much sought-after sunfish three times! So I stopped smoking, as promised, for a while.
But not for long. Back in France, I went back to the way I was before. No mola-mola on the horizon to remind me of my promise.
This was not my first attempt. And now I'm getting ready for the next one... I'll stop again, very soon. That's right. The date is set. That way, I'll have nice airy lungs and plenty of money to dive this summer.
😀
