Cigarette #01.- I thought it was a pay rise.

My name was Jaily Ilya, I was a secretary in the corporation Blue Drag-on; a tobacco company that worked like a cigarette distributor and also did a lot of cigarette brands and accessories to smoke tobacco, like pipes with peculiar designs, and other tobacco stuffs like; aromatic tobacco, vapes and its liquids, and more nicotine products to smoke.

My job was too simply, I just was a secretary who was only sorting papers all the day. I was not a poor person, I had a department in the city center, but I had some personal shortcomings, like, for example, I had no car.

I liked to read stories on internet, in pages novels and more, and I liked anime and manga stories. I wanted to live a story like die and rebirth in another dimension, or like a demon, or something like that.

Next to my cubicle was the smoking area. A little room were so much people entered to smoke cigarettes or vapes. Sometimes the room got fill of smoke until the windows get fogged. Occasionally a bit of the odor of the smoke got escape from the room each time people opened the door to enter in or to go out, so, despite to have fresh air thanks to the air conditioner of my office, typically my cubicle smelled like cigarette smoke. I hated cigarette smoke, it made me cough a lot, so, it was common to see me coughing occasionally by the smell of the remained cigarette smoke in the ambient around me.

"Cough! Cough! Good morning!" greeted me a job partner between coughs. She was Kiara. She was not only my job partner; she was my childhood best friend. A beautiful woman with long and gold hair, violet eyes like shining like a diamond and white skin like snow.

Kiara was always smoking a lot of cigarettes until the smoke made her cough. Each time she had a break; she was always smoking like a chimney.

"Oh… good morning…" I responded a bit nervous, because I didn't like to see her coughing knowing that she was a heavy chain smoker.

Kiara giggled glad, in a moment, she grimaced a bit, and she took a little breath with open mouth, she put a hand over her mouth while she had her yellow lighter in her hand and coughed a couple of times a bit loud.

"Maybe you should quit smoking…" I said to her a bit worried.

"Tee-hee! It's okay! It's my morning allergy. Don't wor…" she said and she coughed again for several times breathless.

"Yeah… Morning allergy... but... Don't you think about how much money you're wasted buying cigarettes? Also, I think your… morning allergies, will get better if you quit smoking. You will spend less money and will feel... eh... a bit better…" I said a bit anxious while Kiara continued coughing.

"Cough! Cough! I don't buy my cigarettes… company is giving me a triple pack per week every Friday. In this occasion I decided to change my habitual brand of cigarettes, just to smoke something new… Cough! Cough! Smoke is a bit strong from this cigarette brand, maybe the strong smoke is too much for me… and it make me cough a bit… tee-hee!" she said and giggled. "By the way… haven't you received cigarette packs as a gift? We have the same time working in the same place, I thought you have cigarettes to smoke too…

"Eh?!" I exclaimed exalted.

Yeah. Of course, the company has been giving me cigarette packs since I had a year working in this job. Two important rules of the company were to give a cigarette pack to employees per week who have been with the company for one year or more and, after that, if an employee had the employee of the month title; the company gives to it a triple cigarette pack per week during a month, a special box with three cigarette packs from inside, and also, the employee could to choose its favorite cigarette brand.

We were a year and a half working in the company. Kiara had the employee of the month tittle since she started her job. She was an exception of the rules, and she received a triple pack of cigarettes every Friday since the sixth month after started to work. She was a bit delicate in health, with morning allergies with coughs, but she liked so much to smoke cigarettes since high school.

For my part. I had a drawer in my house full of cigarette packs. Some of those cigarettes caught mushrooms in the paper tube for whole the time that I kept hidden it there and; those ended in the trash can. I never smoked one, and I never wanted to try to smoke.

"Tee-hee! It's okay. I know you're not a smoker like me. It's okay. Sorry… I just was curious" she told me with her typically innocent and warm tone when she saw me nervous.

Kiara coughed a couple of times and hawked a bit to cleared her throat and told me a bit anxious.

"Cough! Cough! So… could you accompany me to the smoking area? Cough! Cough…I don't want to be alone there…" said Kiara coughing a bit.

Usually, I accompanied her to the smoking area. It was a bad habit, but she was my friend. So, I nodded and I went with her to the smoking area. Once there, we got closer to an ashtray, next to the corner at the bottom of the room. On the way I could feel the smelly air of the room, all the odors of the remained cigarette smoke and butts in the ashtrays were polluting the air and left the ambient so heavy to me. I questioned to myself "How smokers can breathe in this room with this horrible air quality?".

Kiara took her cigarette pack from her black secretary uniform pocket. She put the cigarette into her lips and took her lighter to light it. Once the little flame touched the tip of the cigarette, Kiara started to pull it to get light it up. After a couple of little kisses to the cigarette butt, Kiara achieved to light it up. She did a long drag; she closed her eyes in a high pleasure expression while was sipping her cigarette. After take a deep breath of smoke, she exclaimed a long "Ahh" of pleasure with her open mouth. on the way she made a huge and thick smoke screen among us. I couldn't avoid to grimaced hard while the smoke was taking my face. I held my breath to prevent to breathe the smoke that my friend had done.

"Oh!" I exclaimed uncomfortable among the dense cigarette smoke and I cover my mouth and nose with a hand.

Kiara opened her eyes and saw me. She got embarrassed and told me shyly.

"Oh! So sorry! It was so much smoke! Sorry my bad!" she said and she fanned the heavy smoke with a hand and was blowing it to dissolve it into the air.

"Ah! It's okay… don't worry!" I said to her and I fanned the smoke with a hand too.

"Tee-hee! I'm really sorry! Next time I'll swallow the smoke to avoid to disturb you with it…" said Kiara so shyly.

"Ah! No! it's okay! Don't swallow the smoke! I think that's not a good idea…" I told her a bit worried.

"But… if I don't swallow the smoke, you will inhale it each time I blows it to the air…" responded a bit concerned too.

"Eh… well… It's okay, don't worry…" I responded to her a bit anxious.

"Mmh… Okay, ah… I'll rise my head to blew the smoke to the roof… cough! Cough! To prevent you inhale my smoke… okay?" she asked to me and coughed a couple of times.

"Eh… yeah… thanks…" I responded to her a bit nervous.

In that moment, a job partner entered to the smoking area.

"Eh… I have a message to Jaily Ilya" she said indifferent.

"Oh… it's to me" I responded to her.

"Missis Montford wants to see you in her office" she told me.

"Eh? Me? but… Kiara is the employee of the month, not me. I think this is wrong…" I responded to her.

"Mmh… nope. Missis Montford wants to talk with you" she insisted.

"Mmh… okay… thanks…" I thanked to her.

I went to the Missis Montford office, on the way, Kiara and me were following our job partner to her office. Missis Montford was the CEO of the company. I didn't know why she wanted to see me. I was worried and anxious a lot.

"Eh! I think this is bad. I smell like cigarette smoke. What will she think of me if she smells me like this way?! Oh gosh! Oh gosh!" I said scared.

"Don't worry. All in the company are smokers too. We all smell like cigarette all the time.

"I don't smoke…" I said to her.

Our job partner smiled and laughed loud for a bit. She responded sarcastically.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Yeah… I believe in you!" I got a bit angry after heard her.

We arrived to the main entrance CEO office reception area. There was a cubicle where was a secretary. She saw us for a moment and told us.

"Good morning. Can I help you I something?

"Yeah. Missis Montford wanted to see Missis Jaily Ilya; and she's here" she said.

"Oh! Ok. But only Missis Jaily can enter to Missis Montford office. No one more" she added.

"Eh?! I exclaimed a bit scared.

"Oh… it's okay Ilya. I'll wait for you here, don't worry" said Kiara to me.

"Mmh… thanks…" I responded.

I went to her office. I opened the door that was in the reception area. There was a long white narrow corridor with a red carpet and a lot of framed pictures of the CEO smoking and posing like a model.

I closed the door and started my long trip to the CEO office. The pictures had the CEO smoking diverse cigarette brands of the company. Montalvo Clouds; White Bog; Meadow Mint; Fresh Flavor; Kissable Mist; Curvy Illusions; and more and more and more. At the end, next to the CEO office entrance, was the house specialty; Blue Drag-on, cigarette brand that had the same name of the tobacco company where I was working. In all the images, the CEO had suggestive possess while was literally taking a bath in her own exhaled cigarette smoke from her mouth or nose.

I arrived to her office. I took a deep breath to take under control myself. I was so scared and so anxious. I opened the door and, almost suddenly, a strong cloud of smoke took my face in a moment.

The CEO was turning her back on me in her swivel chair. I saw a thick column of smoke from there. She was smoking a cigarette and talking on phone. She had a smoky ashtray in her desk and was full of ashes and cigarette butts, and some of those were still producing smoke.

"Yeah! The eighty three percent of the total earning is to the company. Of course! Because we are the principal producer and distributor, you're only the second-hand company. So… aha… yeah… All for sale! Don't leave nothing in the store! Yeah! Yeah! I want to see all the nation smoking our cigarettes! Ha! Ha! Nothing for the competition… crush the competition! Puff! Yeah! Ha! Ha! Don't worry… teenagers are our secret principal public, they're the smokers of tomorrow! Aha… ah… yeah… I want to see more cigarette smoke from people mouth than vehicles exhaust fumes in the city and its for yesterday! Yeah… aha… Ok! I like to hear that! Yeah… remember our slogan, The most beauty; is smoking blue. Blue Drag-on. Yeah! Aha… that's all… see you later" she said and put the phone down.

I got a bit scared and try to speak a bit trembling "Eh… Did you call…", but she interrupted me.

"Please! Get inside! Ah! Don't forget to close the door please!" she told me without see me.

Inside the office, she had more pictures of herself smoking, but other products and sub-products of the company, shishas; vapes and other stuffs. I got closer to her desk. She only told me warmly "Please, take a sit". I didn't understand how did she know that I was near to the desk if she never saw me, and she had the windows shades closed, she couldn't see my reflect on the windows.

"What do you wish here?" she asked to me without see me.

"Eh… you called me, Missis Montford…" I responded with a knot in my throat.

"Eh? Did I call you?" she said a bit confused.

"Eh… yes…" I doubted a bit. "Or maybe this is a little error. Maybe the call was to Kiara, the employee of the month" I added nervous.

"Oh! No, no, no… I remembered already! You're the friend of the employee of the month… Mendy!" she said.

"Eh… Ilya miss…" I corrected her.

"Oh! Yeah! Sorry… it's okay…" she told me.

She turned her chair to me and saw me. She was beautiful, an extremely white skin, red loose and long hair and brilliant honey eyes. Her breasts were huge like melons, she had kept a cigarette pack between those, I could see it a bit.

With awesome beauty she took a deep drag of her cigarette. She put it in her imposing red lips, and blew the smoke to the roof in a dense column of smoke, making a smoke screen over our heads. Then she put the ashes and the cigarette butt into the ashtray without put it out.

I got amazed by her pretty appearance and way to smoke her cigarette. Among the dense threads of smoke from her smoky cigarette and ashtray, she put her suggestive gaze over me.

"Oh! Sorry…" she said and she took her cigarette pack between her huge breasts. "Do you want a cigarette?" she asked me confident.

"Eh… no thanks, cough! Cough! I don't smoke…" I responded and couldn't avoid to cough a bit discreetly, I felt so bad in the heavy ambient of her office.

Missis Montford saw me missed a bit for a moment and laughed loud rising her head. I got a bit uncomfortable for that.

"I understand… don't worry!" she told me laughing. I thought that she would open a window to get the smoke outside, it was too hard to breathe with that amount of cigarette smoke in the air in a pretty closed space. "A secondhand smoker… it's okay, you're not the only one" she added to me smiling naughty.

"Eh? A what?! Wait, I think…" I tried to say but she giggled and interrupted me suddenly.

"It's okay! Don't worry! The company have products to clients like you too!" she said to me like an internet commercial.

"But, but, but… wait…" I said but she didn't hear me.

She opened a drawer from her desk and took a little box from it and put it on the table so excited.

"Say hello to the CSb-360. It is a cigarette smoke machine, it's a toy especially designed to people who love cigarette smoke but doesn't smoke!" she said.

"A toy? Eh… but… I…" I tried to speak.

"C'mon lets to see the product!" she said and she opened the box.

"Ah… okay…" I exclaimed. She wasn't hearing me. She was decided to show me the product.

She took from the box a little black box with the company logo, a blue dragon made with smoke threads and pieces from inside, she started to ensemble the device while was explaining me how it does work and its parts.

"It is a device that work with battery and has it cable charger. It has three kinds of tail pipe of different radius to decide the thickness of the released cloud of smoke. For above has the cigarette holder with a nuzzle to adapt into it. The product has five kinds of nuzzle to decide how many cigarettes wish to put it to burn, one; three; five; eight; or twelve. It's your decision. It has a remote control too, which you can decide how much fast or slow want to consume the cigarette.

"Ah… interesting…" I said with no interest and anxious. I only wanted to back to my cubicle to continue my workday. I felt so uncomfortable seeing the tobacco toy.

"Let's go to test it!" she said.

"Eh! But… but…" I tried to speak but she didn't listen me.

She took a cigarette from her cigarette pack and put it into her red lips, then; she took her black lighter with the logo of the company and lighted it up. She made a creamy smoke cloud so close to her face, and breathing easily only exhaled the smoke from her nose and lips conner like a residual smoke.

She stood up among her own smoke, making it dance slightly around her and walked clicking her red high heels rounded her desk, and took a sit in front of me on the desk table. She looked so elegant with a unique red dress piece with a huge neckline and mini skirt that showed her thick thigs. She was a tall woman; slim and curvy body with wasp waist, wide hip and huge buttocks.

I got so nervous while she was sited in front of me. I could see for a little moment her white panty, she crossed her legs leaving next to me her knees and feet.

With a naughty gaze, she took her cigarette and put it into her lips, then she put the nozzle in the smoke machine device. She took her cigarette and told me while she was preparing the device.

"Ok! Put the cigarette like this way, with the butt into the nozzle and the smoky tip up. Then press this button that is in this side of the machine, turn it on. The red light indicates that the machine is on and ready to work. Take the remote control, set your custom setting and press it to start on the device" she told me.

She took the black box and put it over her thig with the tail pipe pointing to me and turned on it. In a moment, the smoke started to escape from the device consuming slowly the cigarette in the process, making a terribly dense cloud of smoke.

I bit my lips and held my breath while the cloud of cigarette smoke started to cover me. I raised my gaze to Missis Montford seeing her a bit uncomfortable, by the other side, she was seeing me glad and a bit naughty.

She left the smoke machine working for several minutes between us; until the cigarette was consumed, the dense smoke cloud got expanded until it covered us for all complete. Among the smoke, I was holding my breath trying to avoid to inhale in it and making hard grimaces.

Missis Montford got closer her face to the thick cloud, she closed her eyes and breathed in slowly and deeply, then she exclaimed "Ahh" with so much pleasure with her breath, almost moaning.

"Well… this product will enter to the market next week, I think it is fascinating, but I want to know your point, what do you think about it?" she asked to me wile was smiling glad and confident.

"Oh… well… eh… it is a pretty interesting product… yeah… yeah…" I said while I was fanning the thick smoke, because it was too hard to see her with all of that smoke among us.

"I knew that you will like it! Oh… yeah, about the ashes, this devise has its own ashes container, when it gets fill of ashes, just take the box like this way and took the drawer that it has to throw the ashes to the trash can…" she said and she threw the ashes to the trash can that was next to her desk.

Missis Montford walked clicking her high heels moving her hips like a pendule, and took a sit in her chair. She took the mini smoke machine and she disarmed it to take save in its box.

"So… Did you like the CSb?" she questioned to me a bit glad.

I didn't want to be rude with her. I really hated the mini smoke machine, but I responded doubting.

"Eh… ye… yeah… It's… it's pretty cool…"

"Mmh! Of course, yes! I know you've like it! This device was designed to passive smokers, I know that is too hard to be a secondhand smoker. I think it's too hard to ask a friend to smoke a cigarette, only to smell the smoke, to breathe in the smoke, to see the smoke, I know the embarrassedly feeling to ask someone, a friend to smoke a cigarette for those reasons… this is the ultimate product to resolve that problem, you will have all the smoke as you want, when you want, where you want…

"Eh… I think I…" I tried to say but she interrupted me again.

"Oh! Yeah! I recommend to use this cigarette smoke machine in closed spaces, to enjoy better the smoke, like a smoker…" she said.

"Ah… eh…" I responded a bit nervous.

Missis Montford smiled naughty and giggled. She took a cigarette form her cigarette pack, she lighted it up and smoked it blowing the smoke to the roof. She took the box and told me.

"Take this one, like a gift…

"Eh… but… No… no thanks. I don't smoke!" I said to her so anxious.

"Yeah! I know! You're a secondhand smoker, this is to simulate a smoker next to you, to enjoy the clouds of smoke alone.

"Eh… I think…

"It's okay! Take this! It's all yours!" she told me and gave me the box.

"Eh… thanks? I think…" I said to her doubting.

"It's okay! No one in my company runs out of smoke! it's okay! Smoke! Or enjoy to breathe smoke from it!" she said exalted.

"Eh…

"It's okay! Oh! I almost forget it!" she said and she opened a drawer from her desk to give me another stuff. "Sorry! A triple cigarette pack for you… and a lighter of the company. That's all!" she told me.

"Eh… thanks… eh… yeah…" I said holding doubt.

"You're welcome…" she told me in a moment her phone rang and she responded almost immediately. "Hello? Oh… yeah… Yeah… of course yes! Those all are our earnings…" she started to talk in the phone a bit angry. At the end she backed to her job giving me her back and I left her smoky office.

I barely closed the door, I took a sharp breath and coughed quietly to don't be loud a couple of times. I felt my throat and chest filled with the smoke of her office. A horrible ambient to work. I couldn't understand how could she are breathing her own cigarette smoke in her pretty closed office.

I went to the main entrance to see Kiara.

"Oh! How was it? What did her talk to you about? Tell me please!" said Kiara to me glad and a bit anxious.

"Eh… well…" I said a bit doubting.

"Uh?" exclaimed missed and she saw the box in my hand. "What is it?" she told me pointing out the box.

"Oh! Eh… it's a… eh… a… I tell to you later, after work… ok?" I said to her so nervous. I didn't want to tell her that it was a kind of cigarette smoke machine. I thought it would be so disgusted to talk about it.

"Mmh… okay…" responded Kiara seeing the box with a bit doubt.

After work. Kiara offered to me to take me to my house. We arrived to her car that was in the parking of the company. On the way she asked to me about the box that I had.

"So, tell me now! What is that?!" she questioned me so exalted seeing the box.

"Mmh… well… this is a…" I tried to said doubting. Suddenly something interrupted me.

Since far away we could see a thick cloud of black smoke was raising and, faster than a thunder arrived to us. In an instant, we ended covered by the emissions of the double exhaust pipe of a great car.

"Wow! What a car!" exclaimed Kiara amazed when she saw the imposing car in front of us.

"Cough! Cough! Yeah!" I said fanning the smoke with a hand in vain. I was getting choke into the smoke that it was madding with its exhaust fumes.

It was an imposing and polished red car, black windows, a large nose and looked like strong like a tank. Its motor roared loudly and was emitting continuously black smoke by two huge exhaust pipes like a monster.

The imposing red car made a couple of loudly roars, blackening more the air around us with its obscure emissions. The car got stopped, and through the cloud of black smoke, someone opened the door of the car and showed itself. It was Missis Montford who with her imposing beauty, walked among the smog to us, moving her hips side to side sensually.

"Hi, girls" she said sweetly and a bit naughty while was seeing us lustily.

"Oh! Chief!" exclaimed Kiara a bit moved and surprised.

"Oh… you must be Marleen Kiara, right?" said Missis Montford when she saw her.

"Oh… yeah chief…" responded Kiara a bit nervous.

"Great! I know you're my employ of the month" said and she took her cigarette pack from her huge breasts and offered one to her. "Do you want a cigarette?" she asked to her.

Kiara saw the cigarette pack and exclaimed exalted.

"Wow! It's my favorite brand of cigarette!

"Oh? Well… it's mine too" said Missis Montford to her.

"Oh! Really?" exclaimed Kiara.

"Yes. Take one, smoke with me" offered a cigarette form the cigarette pack to her.

"Mmh! Thanks!" showed gratitude Kiara.

Kiara took the cigarette and put it in her lips.

"Let me light it to you…" said Missis Montford offering a little flame with her lighter.

"Mmh…" nodded Kiara and she approached the tip of the cigarette to get it light up.

Kiara lighted up her cigarette, on the way, she had done a lot of smoke in her first drag.

"Oh. I can see that you are a great smoker…" said Missis Montford surprised while her face was inside a smoke screen from Kiara first smoke.

"Oh! Sorry! Sorry my bad! I really sorry!" exclaimed Kiara embarrassed and fanned the smoke shyly.

Missis Montford giggled glad and responded smiling among the remained smoke.

"Tee-hee! It's okay, don't worry, I like your way to smoke...

"Oh! Eh… thanks…" said Kiara shyly.

"Tee-hee! Let me show to you my way to smoke…" said Missis Montford.

She took a cigarette from her cigarette pack and lighted it up. At the time that she pulled the flame to her cigarette dragging it, she did a creamy smoke screen. At the end of her deeply drags, she exhaled out the smoke with pleasure almost moaning with her breath exclaiming "Ahh…" slowly and making a dense smoke cloud around us.

"Woah!" exclaimed Kiara among the dense smoke screen that Missis Montford had done in front of her.

"Uh-Cough!… yeah… awesome…" I said so uncomfortable while I was fanning her puffed cigarette smoke and holding up my breath and cough.

"Tee-hee! Oh! Yeah… I forget for a moment why am I here…" said Missis Montford among her own smoke and turned her gaze to me a so naughty.

"Eh?" I exclaimed a bit anxious. Her lustful gaze was intimidating me a lot. I felt harassed.

Missis Montford giggled lustily exhaling out residual smoke from her nose and smiling softly but lewdly, she took a sharp breath inhaling in her own smoke in the air and told me softly.

"Oh! Yeah, Jaily Ilya… right?" she asked to me with a lewdly tone spreading smoke in each word with her smoky breath.

I couldn't believe that she forgot my name. I got a bit angry, but I took calm down, because she was my job chief and I thought that she only had a hard workday.

"Oh… ye… yea Miss…" I responded to her a bit nervous.

Missis Montford smiled and she put the hand where she had her cigarette in my shoulder. Soon, the hot smoke threads took me and burned my face a bit. I got fogged my gaze with the smoke of her smoky cigarette in a bit.

"I'm just here to invite you a formal joint. A formal night. I'll present our new product to a special audience and I want to see you there" said Missis Montford pretty close to me, her red lips were impregnating me her smoky breath that smelled like cigarette smoke.

I held my breath a bit, to avoid to inhale in her smelly and smoky breath, then, I responded so uncomfortable among the smoke that was dancing in my face and didn't leave me to breathe correctly.

"Me?

Missis Montford sipped her cigarette for a bit and blew the smoke doing a cloud in front of me.

"Of course, yes!" she said while I was fanning so uncomfortable the cloud of smoke that she had done to my face. It was too hard to see her among that smoke screen.

"Ah! Well… thanks…" I responded.

"You're welcome…" she responded softly and calmy.

"Oh! So, are we invited to go to the formal night? I like it!" said Kiara excited.

"Oh… sorry, the invitation is only to Ilya…" said Misis Montford.

"Oh… okay… sorry…" apologized Kiara a bit shy.

"It's okay, maybe next time I will invite you" added Missis Montford to her.

With her sensually way to smoke she sipped her cigarette again, and said to us, "see you later girls" and she turned to me sensually to whisper me "I'll wait for you in the reunion…" with smoke in each word to my face. She went to her car with her particular way to walk, clicking her high heels and leaving a dense smoke screen like a trail behind with her smoky cigarette.

I felt so skintight breathing in her cigarette smoke. For the other side, Kiara was seeing her with intensely brilliant eyes as if she was enchanted.

Missis Montford rode her red car and turned it on. Its loud motor roared like a monster, and its double exhaust pipe threw up a dense column of black smoke against the floor that bounced and did a heavy black smoke cloud. After several loudly roars, she went away; left us a huge cloud of black smoke behind. We ended literally taking a black smoke bath with its heavy emissions while she was taking way far away.

We ended choked with Missis Montford black and toxic exhaust fumes emitted by her red car and coughed breathless for a long time into the dense black cloud. It was too hard too breath with that dense smog of her burned fuel.

"Cough… cough! Cough! This is too much smoke... Cough! Cough…" I tried to exclaim, but I couldn't breathe, I'd inside myself her exhaust fumes choking me on with its horrible odor.

"Cough! Cough… Tee-hee… I like it… tee-hee! Cough! Cough!" exclaimed Kiara giggling glad and coughing.

"Eh! What?! Are you crazy? Cough! Cough!" I exclaimed against her while I was coughing and while I was fanning the black smoke. Soon the great smog got dissolved in the air and Kiara responded to me.

"Yeah! I liked her car! It's so beautiful! I would wish to have a car like hers" said Kaira so glad.

"What? But that's is so loud and emits too much exhaust fumes! It's pure pollution!" I exclaimed to her.

"Tee-hee! Sorry… I like pretty and ecounfriendly cars!" said Kiara smiling.

"Eh?!" I only responded.

"You would never understand…" she responded to me.

After that we rode her car, in a moment, she saw the box in my hand and asked a bit curiously.

"Oh… about that, what is that?" she said pointing the box in my hand.

"Oh… eh… this… eh… This is… is a stupid thing… that's it!" I responded to her.

"A stupid thing? Why do you say that?" she asked curiously.

"Eh… well, because that's just it… just a stupid thing…" I reaffirmed to her.

She saw me doubting a bit and she asked to the box to me:

"Can I see it?

"Mmh… okay…" I said to her a bit doubting.

She put her smoky cigarette in her lips to open the box with both hands to see the tobacco black box inside. She took her cigarette and separated it form her lips making a little kiss to it, and she blew a bit of smoke form over her shoulder.

The windows of the car were closed. Soon the light smoke arrived to me in a moment and I fanned it in a bit to avoid to inhale it.

"What is this? It look elegant" she told me.

"Eh… okay, let me explain to you…" I said jaded. I took a little breath to start to explain what was that. "This is a new product of the company, its name is CSb-360…

"CS-what?" she said to me a bit surprised.

"CSb… it's an acronym to Cigarette Smoke Box…" I said a bit embarrassed.

"Eh? But… eh… I don't understand…" she said while was seeing the device.

"Ergh! It's a cigarette smoke machine!" I screamed embarrassed.

"Ah! It's sounds interesting! How does it work?!" she asked to me so excited.

I doubted a bit but at the end I spoke to her.

"Well… let me explain to you…

I was explaining to her how the device would be ensembled to work on the way. She ensembled the device and prepared her cigarette to use it.

"I think it is ready!" she said to me.

"Mmh… yeah… that's it…" I responded jaded and waiting worst.

She looked so anxious to turn on the device. She put the box in front of herself and told me so excited.

"Here I come! I'll turn on it!

"Okay…" I responded jaded.

She turned on the device and in a instant the little box downed the cigarette in a drag and expelled a big and thick cloud of smoke against Kiara.

"Oh! No! wait!" I screamed despaired because the car was pretty closed and that thing made a lot of smoke. I felt myself trapped into a gas chamber. I put both hands over my nose and mouth and held my breath while the thick cigarette smoke cloud was getting me slowly.

"Wow! Cough! Cough! See the smoke... cough! Oh! It consumed my cigarette so fast! It's amazing! I love it! Cough! Cough..." exclaimed Kiara among coughs in the dense smoke that was hugging her.

"Yeah… it's awesome… but… oh… my God… please, open a window… I can't breathe…" I said to Kiara so uncomfortable by the odor of the dense smoke that was around me.

"Tee-hee… sorry…" she giggled and apologized.

Kiara opened a window and we began to cough while the car was getting ventilate. Later. Kiara told me curiously.

"Why the corporation made this box? I don't understand…

"It's a toy to… to encourage passive smokers to buy cigarettes…

"Oh! Well… I like it… where I can get one?" she asked to me.

"It's not for sale, not for now. It's a new product that is not in the market for now…" I responded.

"Ah! And the CEO! Missis Montford, gifted one to you?!" she said to me so amazed.

"Ye… yeah…" I responded a bit embarrassed.

"Wow! So… you can burn all the cigarettes that you have for be the employee of the month!" she told me so glad.

"No! I don't want to burn all of those cigarettes in my home! It will get fully of smoke! I'll never end to cough inside it!" I responded to her.

"Well! So… could I take it?" she asked to me.

"No! It's my gift!" I responded to her.

"But you're not a smoker… please… give me it…" she told me with a tremble voice as if she was about to cry.

"No! You're always coughing by your matutine allergies and always you are smoking cigarettes! Your health will be worst if I give you this box! So, forget it!" I said to her an I took the box to it into its pack.

"Mmh…" exclaimed Kiara. She looked like if she was about to cry.

She took me home while was asked to me for the box. I held my word and I said to her "No". I arrived to my home and I didn't know how to do with that upset toy.
