Do you remember when?

[tazz]

I can remember when I was a younger Lad and as broke as could be jonesing for a smoke. I would be driving along only to find my pack was empty so I'd pull the car over and search high and low for that one cigarette that I knew that I had dropped between the seats and when I found it, boy was it old and nasty but I would smoke it. Now I'm going 19 days analog free and can't believe I ever smoked as much as I did.

Great post.

I remember when I would head to the pool hall with my sister (Miller Time Billiards) and we would walk from the pool hall down to the gas station to buy smokes because they were $1.50 at the gas station and $2.00 at the bar was highway robbery

I would go out to my car around 2am when I had run out and opened the ashe tray looking for that one I knew I had put out and was only 1/2 burned. Take it inside, cut the end off with a razor and good to go. lol.

I remember having both sets of impacted wisdom teeth removed when I was in my early 20s, I was a 2 PAD Marlboro Red smoker then. A friend was driving me home and I was still really out of it from the valium drip and DYING for a cigarette. My mouth was full of gauze so I smoked one through my nose. Didn't feel a thing.

I recall when smoking a cigarette wasn't the price of admission to a leper colony.

I remember with precision seeing Andy Taylor (AKA Andy Griffith, rest his soul) smoking a cigarette; a simple pleasure then, not the ultimate evil it's become.

I remember when the only place nobody smoked was inside church.

i remember the many times where i vowed to quit analogs and broke them all in half only hours later looking to piece one back together and if it was a lost cause, to smoke it without the filter. disgusting! 3 days vaping and really glad that there is this forum to remind me that i analogs are just not worth it

 

[MiamiMom63]

I remember numerous times trying to quit smoking, only to try sneaking to my next door neighbor's townhouse front porch next to mine because I knew she always smoked on her patio and left huge cigarette butts. She found out and started taking them inside. That B!+@h. LOL.

That's why I used to dunk my packs in water before I threw them out!

I remember how unproductive I was when I was waiting for my next smoke break. Now I sneak a hit every now and again and keep on doing stuff.

Same here. But I never cut the end off. The first drag or two was gross, but it was what I had to do. Especially in the middle of nowhere and all the local gas stations were closed. Looking back, I can't believe I did that.

 

[Spazmelda]

I remember going out to smoke in the rain and a big drop of water would fall on my last cigarette right above the filter. I'd try to smoke it carefully so the paper wouldn't tear, but sometimes it would. The I'd try to hold it with my finger over the tear so I could get some smoke out of it. I've even used tape, to tape a cigarette back together.

 

[MasterOfPuppets]

I remember as a kid they only used to be 75 cents a pack. And that was getting them out from a cigarette machine even

 

[WickedSick]

Lol it seems ages since I was like that, but man it was tough ending up without a smoke

I remember a few dragoncons ago running out of cigs at like 4am…searching high & low for somewhere open……eventually it culminated in me asking a cop if he knew anywhere……he lead me through the bowels of the hotel to the employee break room on the 5th sub-basement that had a vending machine……that charged $10 for a pack of Marlboro Mediums (best option……I'd given up on finding Lucky Strikes long before that). I smoked a few over the next couple hours and bought a pack of LS when a gas station that had them opened up at 7……and threw away the Marlboros. $17ish for what amounted to 24 cigarettes was ridiculous.

I think that was the day I realized I had a problem.

 

[zeromisfit999]

I remember in my teenage years walking around a college campus and grabbing the 90% full cigarette butts from kids that were late for class. I look back now, and that is damn nasty. I'm still on the tobacco train, but trying hard to get off of it.

 

[jifjifjif]

I recall being out of smokes and sifting through ashtrays to find a half smoked but t.
