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!
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 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.

Nearly all of my family smokes, and I fucking hate it. There were countless times, as far as I can remember, when I tried to do something with my dad, it was nice for a while, then he goes for a 'quick smoke' and stays there forever.

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 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 would work better than cancer warnings on cigarette packs.

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 can put my life in danger. I can put your life in danger. But I draw the line when you put my life in danger.

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.

3 whole fucking packs a DAY? Did you even breathe normal air?

This is how I finally quit for good.

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 had the luxury to smoke on my job. I smoked a lot.

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

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

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.
What the fuck? Gross. I have never needed a smoke that bad.
