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.
Gives you more lung space to inhale your own farts!
Even our farts smell better when you don’t smoke.

I completely agree, ads like this that say " it’s bad for you", “you’ll hurt the ones you love”, “your family will miss you”, it’s all just anti-suicide pepole thinking they’re soo much better than everyone else
blowing ones brains out shouldn’t be portrayed as a bad thing, we need change and show we respect and accept suicide!
Also as a child of a heavy smoker, fuuuuuuck people who smoke around others, i don’t care if you want to harm yourself, but stay the fuck away from other people while you do it
Dude you’re projecting your daddy issues onto other people and being incredibly up front about it.
Didn’t say it was my father, are you projecting your daddy issues perhaps?
It’s not a complex if it’s true.
I would like to submit exhibit A in to evidence your honor
I can’t hear you over my 100% lung capacity. I am breathing so good right now. You wouldn’t even believe.
All this woke ass anti cigarette shit! Y’all have obviously never enjoyed a cup of coffee and a smoke on a still summer morn. A post coital puff as your lover plays her fingers through your chest hair like smoke on the water. Good lord I miss cigarettes!
But seriously never smoke, it smells terrible, will ruin your health, and is an all around terrible proposition.
Yeah, it was fun for a while. The good thing is, so many people stopped smoking in the last few years, that smoking stopped to be this special social thing.
I’ve read last week that tobacco is radium rich and decomposes to polonium and radon - cigarettes are radioactive and it contributes to its nasty effects on the lungs
Bonus!!
I quit by vaping off of cigarettes, and then gradually reducing the nicotine in vape juice until I was vaping 0 nicotine for a couple of months, then stopped altogether. Been nicotine free for several years now, and no cravings.
This is how I finally quit for good.
Meanwhile idiots like me ended up vaping all day long and when I went back to cigarettes my tolerance was through the roof and I smoked more than I ever did.
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.

What are you referring to?
If I quit, I might live longer. Life is hell.
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?
Having to deal with the consequences of dropping a lifelong addiction most likely.
Quitting smoking fucking sucks. You don’t start to notice the positive effects of quitting for weeks after your last smoke, and you don’t realize until then how much the cigarettes are affecting your health. So it can really feel like you’re putting yourself through hell for very little benefit. When just having a cigarette feels like it can fix all symptoms you’re having now, it’s hard to keep going.
I 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.
So if he loses control of his car and is heading at a tree, he can shoot the tree in self defense.
You’re being ridiculous. Of course the gun is to offset his momentum. Couple shots should do it. \s
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?
This is a bit disingenuous. When listed like that on food it’s because all of those were added in individually to create an ultra processed amalgamation resembling food. Otherwise ingredients would just say bannana.
Processed foods have been clinically shown to be harmful to us. Bannanas seem to be okay
Yeah! Merica!
I feel bad for people who have never been addicted to anything, because they’re the real losers. You want to know why? Because they don’t know what it’s like to really want something - and then get it again and again and again. (Marc Maron)
But seriously, the one thing I’m proud of in my life is that I was able to quit smoking. Hard, but so worth it!
Well done my dude
Thanks! ☺️
Same.
But whooooo damn do I occasionally miss having a smoke.
I’ve not smoked for more years than I smoked at this point, but the habit is in me. My brain only remembers the good parts.
My mother quit smoking 25 years ago and still has panic attacks about it every few weeks.
That pisses her off so she won’t ever smoke again.
Yup, this is me with both alcohol and cigarettes. And it seems like the worse things are going for me, the better going back to it sounds.
Still I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about keeping dosed anymore.
Holy pearl clutching.
Joke is on you - I only smoke in elementary schools, so my house is practically tar-free. Now what, science man?
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.
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.
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.
Bloody hell did that really happen?
You dated someone who picked up half smoked ciggies and smoked them? Was she homeless?
That’s so gross, only ever seen the truly fucker and desperate do that.
Punk shit
I live with two roommates in a flat. One of them smokes. Of course, he has to smoke indoors as well, as if the whole place is his (we got two balconies btw) . Can’t describe when I get home after a long day in uni to come back to a flat that smells like a smoking friendly bar.
yeah that’s a dick move. I’m a smoker but i only smoke tobacco outdoors. i like being in a space i can smoke indoors, but it’s not gonna be my place
So start smoking and you won’t even notice.
Seriously though, as a lifelong smoker I do my best to keep it from being anyone else’s problem.
Honestly, smoke all you want as long as you don’t drink
I do both! Wooohoooo!
