Possible TW ⚠️
No ones POV
Yes, smoking is bad,
but we're all addicted to something that ruins us.
For some it's drinking,
others it's toxic relationships they think they can fix.
People might starve themselves,
chase a lost love,
live off caffeine,
never sleep,
slit their wrists,
or be silent and let the pain consume them.
For Jughead, it's lighting a cigarette and putting poison into his lungs until they're dry and weak.
That's just how he numbs the pain.
He lights a cigarette every time he feels pain. Every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute, every time the pain comes back. And he never stops.
How could he? With all the pain he has to live with. How could he stop. It's his way of coping. No matter how much it kills him. It helps. And he'll do it till he dies.
