📊 Poll Do you smoke?

[rocco]

I tried it for about 2 months when I was a kid because my friends were all smokers. I never understood what they got out of it. The taste and smell was just horrible.

I dated a couple girls that smoked. They would use whatever perfume or body spray, and that combined with the smoke smell is an interesting combination. I’ll catch that same whiff of perfume and smoke out in public from random skanks.

I kicked it for 6mo in ‘21 and fell back into it. I can give you justifications as why I did-but really it falls all on me just being a bitch. Yeah it does stink. I try my best to keep it away from everyone.

This reminds me of my worst memories of my dad smoking as a kid. He would smoke in the house and smoked 2-3 packs a day. He would basically light his new cigarette off the old one before it died. Anyway, I remember the old man taking a shit and smoking and going in the bathroom after him and the smell of cigarettes and shit is horribly burned into my mind. Not a pleasent combo. He smoked so much that he would wake up many times at night to smoke. I remember going to the bathroom at night as a kid and would see the burning cherry seemingly floating in mid air in the family room as he smoked with the lights off.

the US seems to have done a pretty good job of making it uncool (and expensive)

it seems super rare to see anyone under 40 smoking (i'd even say under 50) cigarettes.

that being said, outside the US i'm surprised at how much people smoke. i guess for one, many places it's cheaper, but still. i was surprised how many young people appeared to smoke in mexico. i'm surprised how many euros smoke when i'm in thailand. i'm in south africa now on a 2 week volunteer project - i was the only one the first week, but one of the french staff (i dunno if she's even 30) smokes, and this week we have 1 brit chick, 1 belgian girl, another french girl, and a french guy with his mom. all but the mom are in their 20s. the only one i know for sure doesn't smoke is the belgian girl. also the entire south african staff smokes from the owners to the workers. maybe not one female one but everyone else definitely, and they rip through them.

kissed a girl once on a date who was a smoker. did not enjoy. first and last smoker.

In honor of this thread I will be searching for smoking porn

the ethanol smell is awesome at covering the smoke smell that slowly seeped into it over the years.

Lol, only a smoker would say something this ridiculous. Nothing covers up that smell

Jeeeesus this is unreal

I dated a couple girls that smoked.

I made this mistake as well. Kissing them was like licking an ashtray. I broke up with one when she made a cigarette more important than me, on my birthday. I will say there was one that was trying hard to quit, but was under a lot of stress. She made every effort to keep herself "clean" of the smell, and would thoroughly wash herself up (hands, face, etc) and changed clothes after smoking. It helped more than I would have expected.

Go back to the 1940s - 1970 and into the ‘80s.

Smoking was more common than drinking a Coca Cola, let alone eating outside one’s kitchen.

Now, flip the script. Everyone is eating out, consuming garbage products and fewer are smoking.

That's all in the past brother. It sucked at the time but I think it makes you a better person in the long run. Makes you realize what kind of person not to be.

Sorry if I missed it I don’t feel like reading all the pages. I wonder what will be worse for you the vape stocks or cigarettes. I will say people who have the vape sticks suck on that thing like every 2-3 min of an hour. That can’t be good for you

Vape is horrible for you too.

My childhood in a nutshell, in the back seat of a Lumina Eurosport

 

[Pro Stock John]

Yeah the wierd thing was I have memories of being in the back seat of the family car while my dad was smoking, with the windows barely cracked.

I mean it was normal back then. People smoked in hospitals and airplanes. Remember the cigarette vending machines in restaurants and bars everywhere?

Yep, I remember buying cigarettes at the Cadillac Ranch back in the day at one of those old ass pull machines.

When I smoked I remember smoking indoors and even long time ago on a flight.

During a summer job at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, probably my sophomore college summer job, they used to having a smoking room. It was a glass cube. There was me and a dozen old ladies smoking lol. This was in 1986 I think.

When we were young (mid-90s), K-Mart still had cartons of cigarettes out on displays on the floor. A kid I grew up with would wear JNCO jeans with the huge pockets and go steal two cartons at a time.

Motorola had a smoking room back in the day too. You walk in there and everything was stained yellow/brown.

 

[Pro Stock John]

LOL when I smoked i didn't mind. But now man oh man I can smell a smoker from 5 feet away.

I will say the best cigarettes I had were some honey flavored ones in India.

 

[b00sted]

I definitely don't miss smoking in bars. When I was underage, I'd come home smelling like an ash tray because the bar was just a fog of cigarette smoke.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I was in a Moose Lodge last year playing bingo. They still had the old smoking room which is inside the building, you could see the sinners cause it had windows. Lmfao.

Like how disgusting.

You have to be quarantined from gen pop to do something. That should tell ya it's that disgusting.

In 1960 over 50% of Americans smoked and I'm sure in the 1930's it was probably much higher. Lately smoking in the US is around 15%.

When I've been overseas it's noticeably higher. I think in some Asian countries the percentage is pretty high still. Cigs are pretty cheap in Thailand and India.
