Jay Klaich used to be a full time smoker. There was nothing more in this world that he loved more than sitting on his deck, busting open a can of The Beast, and lighting up a sweet square. But in a time when cigarette prices were on the rise and where society frowned on the pastime in general, Klaich could ill afford to continue his pricey vice. That is until he found the book, 'Bumming Smokes: The Playa's Guide'.
Written by Chas, and published by Lumber Books in late 2008, 'Bumming Smokes: The Playa's Guide' is a step by step manual to scoring endless numbers of cigarettes, while expending a minimal amount of cash. "It's for the thrifty full time smoker," Chas stated in September of 2008. "We all can't have the kind of money that Cougar Mellencamp has to buy endless amounts of Marlboro Reds and Whoppers."
Klaich purchased the book in October of 2008 and has had nothing but good things to say about it. "I used to buy a pack of smokes and let it last me for 2 weeks. I had to ration out those cancer sticks," Klaich confessed. "But now, I can spend next to nothing and get a weekly intake of about 60 cigarettes."
The book goes through a series of techniques ranging from getting your friends super-drunk, to hitting on unattractive female smokers, to stealing smokes from unattended packs left on the bar. "I like the section on wide-ranged bumming," Klaich said. "Hitting up a variety of people so as to not piss off any single person too much. That seems to be key."
"I also like the section on sharing the wealth. On the rare occasion that I do actually have my own smokes, giving them back to the people I bum from will definitely allow me to take full advantage of them in the future," Klaich admitted. "I also love those Camel people that come around and give you free smokes. There was a hot Asian one at Schuba's once."
Klaich is not the only one who has found success after reading the book. Networker extraordinaire Billy Karr is another satisfied customer. "I read The Playa's Guide any chance I get, to touch up on my bumming skills. In the bathroom, on long trips, even during sex," Karr proclaimed. "And last weekend alone I bummed 36 smokes in a two night stint at Cheers."
Due to the success of 'The Playa's Guide', Chas has decided to write another guide that should be out early next year. Tentatively titled, 'Minimize', the book attempts to cover how to surf the net all day at work without getting caught.

If you're looking for a contributing author on the "Minimize" book, please let me know. This past year has taught me an awful lot about office time killing strategies
