It is absolutely preferable to not pick up the cigarette in the first place news.berkeley.edu/2026/10/09/u...

I think, if I’m being honest with myself, this is the main reason I refuse to touch these things. More so than being environmentally dilligent, even more so than wanting to avoid being a thief. I am very good at my job. I enjoy being very good at my job. I do not want to become less good at my job

Yes, thinking about stuff and working out how it might work is one of the best things about making creative stuff. Why take that away?

Can’t you? Think about the sort of people who sit in meetings and don’t contribute. Or make themselves important by forwarding emails. Organisations have always had lazy people. This stuff is a godsend to them

Oh sure I’m painfully aware of people like that. I’m just saying that I couldn’t ever picture myself doing it.
