RULE TWO
Smoke Your Own Cigarettes
The primary message is that no one likes a bum. Not really. People will use a bum occasionally, to make themselves feel better, but really: Neither a bum, nor a bum enabler be.
In the WWII internment camps, prisoners would occasionally procure cigarettes which they could then use as bartering devices. Consequently, a man who was smoking his own cigarettes was one who had given up on living. That's pretty heavy stuff. The least you can do is be aware that each cigarette you smoke is your own and does not come without cost.
You may very well be living near bum level. You may, in fact, be a bum. To compensate for this it is vital that you not be looking towards others for your tobacco needs. Being a complete unit that is not dependent on others is key. Bum the important stuff, but supply your own day-to-day.
If you are a smoker it is also important that you know how to make a cigarettes from loose tobacco and paper. People who smoke and don't know how to roll their own are usually intellectually feeble or have no Will.

Be a person whose needs are tidy. Don't look to your friends for chap stick. Keep yourself in gum. Be able to entertain yourself. Prepare for the moment when you are out of cigarettes, and have more at the ready or know you will go without. All of these - an awareness of one's own needs - are implicit in Mr. Olivier's Second Rule. - trst
