I stopped smoking a while ago now.. but boy do I miss it sometimes lol.

Don't smoke kids.

quit 30 years now. quit because it was killing me. other corps are still trying.

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.

I smoked from the time I was 15, until I was 33. I got a prescription for something called Chantix that worked really well for me to quit permanently.

It worked well for a few people I knew, but one guy said it made him really depressed / suicidal.

Chantix isn’t available anymore because of something that was in it that might cause cancer, but there’s a generic form of it called varenicline that may or may not be available in your country. Ask your doctor maybe if there’s a pill that will help you quit.

I’m so happy that I’m on 10 years without cigarettes.

I don't think people smoke because they feel like shit doing so, quite the opposite imo

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 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.

tfw you share balcony with smoking neighbour and all smoke goes to your room where you work...

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.

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!

Why smoke when you can be addicted to the superiority complex that apparently comes with not smoking?

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.

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.

This seems to ignore the important facts that smoking is A.) Cool and B.) Sexy.

As a tobacco fiend I couldn't ever get into smoking cigs. The only time in my life I've smoked consistently was when I was extra depressed and trying to microdose suicide. Guess I'm lucky

Just one nail of many in my mom's coffin

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.

Yes, smoking takes years off your life.

But they're the years at the end....
