When I was a teenager in the 90s, I once dated someone whom I thought otherwise to be a smart and collected girl.
Then I watched her and her friend rummage the side streets for half smoked cigarette butts that people had disposed of out their car windows. The bliss in their eyes when they lit up a half smoked one.
Looking through the eyes of an adult now, it makes me wonder why I continued to try and strike a habit myself over the next 2 years. Fortunate for me, it never seemed like my drug of choice, though I did find others.
Being addicted to anything will make you realize just how fragile “giving a shit” really is.
Dear Turdz, Get over yourselves plastic taco bell redbull eatindrinking turdz… Not everyone hot boxes people around them when they smoke. Some of us are a clean people. Some of you smell and look like shit anyways.
Sincerely, Eat My ArseI used to work with a guy that smoked and refused to wear a seat-belt. He carried a gun though, just in case his life was in danger.
My work buddy will only eat meals made from single-ingredient foods because of “all the extra shit they put in there”, and smokes a pack a week.
Your work buddy isn’t wrong with that tbh
So no banana then, huh?
It is a death of a thousand cuts for these cuntz in the imperial core. It is trendy now to be a non smoker. Or atleast in this feed… Why don’t ya’ll now start bitching about fat people… then all of us to the gas chambers… There are a lot of annoyances in life get over it turdz. Why don’t you do a gender reveal and burn down a forest… or better yet get popped in the nutz. Turdz I tell yah just turdz
Don’t forget that smokers also get to ruin other people’s meals at restaurants. Not their own meals mind you - just the meals of others.
I thought you wheren’t allowed to smoke inside anymore in Germany?
I’ve smoked 3 packs a day by 25 y/o. Started with 17. stopped with 27. I don’t regret stopping, I feel better. But I miss it.
I only got to a pack a day before I quit for vaping, and I’ve been titrating down of that and hope to be off it entirely soon.
I do miss the tingle you get from that first smoke of the day. But it’s not worth not being able to smell anything and spending so much money.
I roll my own. Cheap as hell, but I wish I could stop. I’d lose my goddamn mind if I did.
3 whole fucking packs a DAY? Did you even breathe normal air?
I had the luxury to smoke on my job. I smoked a lot.
I can relate.
I never got as bad as my father, who used a lighter once a day and lit the rest of them off of the last one.
I smoke about a half a pack a day and feel like a dick for it. I’d like to quit, but i don’t want to.
Why smoke when you can be addicted to the superiority complex that apparently comes with not smoking?
Yeah that shit annoys the fuck out of me. Society really needs to change the way we treat people who smoke.
They did… and it caused most people to stop smoking. Building that social stigma was like one of the best health marketing campaigns in history.
I say this as someone who used to and still does smoke time to time.
tfw you share balcony with smoking neighbour and all smoke goes to your room where you work…
It would suck if windows didn’t close.
I live alone and actively wish I could die. I’m not hurting anyone but myself.
I am glad that it’s not cool with the younger generations, and that the whole vaping fad kinda died back.
Still though, the amount of self righteousness and lack of empathy from some non smokers really makes me glad that I will never have to hang out with those types of people.
Addiction is a hell of a thing, and when the alternative is worse than quitting, it’s extremely difficult to quit.
when the alternative is worse than quitting, it’s extremely difficult to quit
What are you referring to?
If I quit, I might live longer. Life is hell.
If you don’t quit, you might not die; but you could be in more pain than you are now.
same. I’m not quite at the point of suicide yet but I definitely don’t need to live into my goddamn
80’s50’s. not here, not now.You shouldn’t express your suicidal ideations in public. It’s dangerous for other people. If someone feels bad for you and tries to help you avoid living longer without smoking, they could get in lots of trouble. You’re playing with fire.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say. Could you explain what you mean?
There are a lot of people on this website who believe in the right to die and would feel bad, seeing you suffering like this. They’d want to talk about your right to die with you. But they could get in trouble for that, because the pro-life people see that as encouraging suicide. You’re putting the pro-choice people in the difficult position of choosing whether to try to help you, or look after themselves.
Isn’t it better to give people a reason to not die, instead of like, killing people?
Yeah and it’s clearly the way women choose to dress that excuses men’s predatory behavior /s
Your example is pretty bad because it undermines their point. Womens choice of clothing doesnt excuse predators, but it still puts many in a tough situation by tempting them (not voluntarily but for them its a temptation). Which is in no way saying the women are at fault but unwanted outcomes can be avoided by their chioce. So you could live your life making sure others arent influenced in a negative way by your behavior or you could go to the limits of yoir freedom disregarding any consequences for others as long as youre on the legal side. The answer should be somewhere in the middle of the two extremes, but who can say where exactly. (I mean many do pretend they know, but its obviously subjective)
What an insensitive and utterly vile post. If you understood anything about addiction, which I’ll remind you is a health disorder and not a personal choice, you would be ashamed of yourself. Some of us and our families are really struggling with huge impacts to physical and mental health, our entire lives, from addictions like this. Hope posting this made you feel better about yourself tho 👍
Mental inconvenience takes a number of forms, one of them is nicotine addiction. Some people with more standard brains than you and I can’t comprehend why we would regularly consume literal poison to feel better instead of, I don’t know, watching a Disney film or running until they sweat and smell.
I have switched over to a vape and mix my own flavorless, scentless juice. I still feel like a pariah when I use it, and stick to alleys and back lots.
I truly wish vape culture hadn’t had that bro moment of douche bags chucking clouds in theaters and making a fuss when imbibing indoors.
I’d be slightly less embarrassed of the pile of addictions I’ve become.
