Acting Being Upset

　I am a smoker. I know that is a bad habit. I want to quit someday.

I use an e-cigarette. To smoke an e-cigarette, I don’t need a lighter. Still, I always carry a lighter. I think I need a lighter in certain situations. Up to now, I have used it just once. When I experienced a blackout, the lighter was useful.

In the old days, many people were smokers. We could see many people smoking on TV. At that time, the typical way of acting being upset with a cigarette was the smoker trying to light the wrong end of the cigarette. The person had the cigarette the wrong way round because they were so upset. “Why can’t I light the cigarette? Oh! It was the wrong way round.” That was a classic line.

A few years ago, I was upset.

I hid the fact that I was upset and went away from the other people. Then, I tried to smoke to calm down. “Why can’t I light the cigarette? Oh!”

Actually, I was trying to light my e-cigarette with the lighter. It might have been dangerous.

I was very upset.

Is this scene possible on TV? A character is so upset that they try to light an e-cigarette with a lighter?

No, most people don’t smoke these days. I think it is realistic, but it doesn’t work.
