How I miss smoking!

[Bjorn Toulouse]

i miss tobbacco spins
i miss feeling the drug pumping through my body first thing in the morning
i miss they way the end of a cig burns, almost pink against the black of the burning paper
i miss the feeling of total bliss when you double up cigs with a beer
i miss the anasthetic they put in them
i miss the fact they get stronger as you get to the bottom of them
i miss not having sore jaws because they are so light
i miss not needing anything for at least an hour after having a cig
i miss being able to buy them anywhere ......

 

[Hawkeye]

Good list. I miss the yellow stains on the walls and ceiling fan.

 

[yknotagain]

I miss all the new burn holes in my shirts, pants and car seats.

I miss dropping ashes on the carpet.

I miss having my lighter die when I really need one.

I miss digging the last analog from a half crumpled pack and having to tape it together because it broke.

I miss yellow-brown fingers and teeth.

 

[i3lurred]

Anybody have a few too many drinks, and take a swig out of a bottle and realize a .... has hit your mouth? You gotta miss that!

 

[rave]

I miss the prescriptions that I had to take for high blood pressure.
I miss the yellow sticky crud on the inside of my windshield.
I miss using my little cigarette machine - night after night after night ...

 

[HaploVoss]

I miss the lectures from my family
I miss the lectures from my doctor
I really miss those seizures I used to have
I especially miss having bit my toungue from a seizure, and not being able to go without smoking making the healing process all the more painfull and last an extra week.
Yeah .. I really miss smoking

 

[vapingmusician]

I miss ashes going inside all my expensive music equipment
I miss going for a ride in my hotrod and the cherry blowing off in the wind and landing somewhere in the car
I miss pinhole burns in my shirts/pants/ties
I miss leaving one burning on an amplifier and turn around to see that it burned through the covering
I miss being asked for a smoke every single time I broke one out...Then asked for a light.

 

[CentroniX]

I miss being asked for a smoke every single time I broke one out...Then asked for a light.

And I miss asking, "Would you like me to smoke it for you, too?"

 

[DC2]

And I miss asking, "Would you like me to smoke it for you, too?"

And I miss people asking me if I would like them to smoke it for me too.

I miss it in the colder months, when I would pull the analog off my slightly dry lips and rip a piece of skin off that would draw blood.

I miss the panic that would set in when I would reach into my backpack and NOT find a fresh pack after finishing the very last one.

I miss the times when I would sit back, relax, reach for a smoke only to find I didn't have anything to light it with.

I miss driving off the road in a frenzy because I realized the .... that I flipped out of the window came back in and was setting the back seat ablaze.

I miss the shell shock when some guy that spoke like Apu Nahasapeemapetilon at the deli told me the ten spot I tossed on the counter wasn't enough for a single pack of Marlboros.

 

[Vapinginmyboots]

I miss purposefully chain smoking 5 in a row outside a laundrymat after being called a "public health hazard", "that thing should be illegal", "theres something wrong with those people" by the same woman in 20 mins while walking by me (under her breath of course)

 

[MYSTiX]

I miss my wife telling me to "get lost, you stink" from smoke

and I really miss getting booted out of my own house to stand outside in the cold to smoke...and shiver during the winter months

 

[RustyTec]

I miss all the phlegm spots on my bathroom mirror and on my dash and on my monitor.

I miss soaking my AC filter in isopropyl alcohol for an hour before before being able to clean the dust off with water. (now, I just blow it off with compressed air).

I miss the laryngitis that could not heal due to the 3-pack-a-day habit and it's threw-out-the-day smoker's cough that came with it. (I could not talk for the 5 months before finding the ECF).

I miss cupping my cig, from the wind, on a motorcycle. Left hand while riding, right while braking. Either way it made biking a bit more dangerous (not needed now). E-cigs rules on bikes. No problem with true 901 autos yet.

I vote this "thread of the year". Sticky yet another one. Please. If any thread will turn an Anti around, it is this one.

 

[lowwkeyy]

i miss not always having a lighter on me. it's odd how often i still reach for it to set people or things on fire .

 

[Snarkyone]

I miss patching cigarette burns in carpets, and furniture. In fact if the good folks at the post office would have delivered my new dragon when they were supposed to I would have one less little hole to patch.

 

[JKG]

I miss having to smoke 2 or 3 cigarettes within 10 minutes outside the airport or in a smoking lounge just before I board the plane whenever I fly.

I miss having to run outside the house to have a quick smoke during an online poker tournament break.

I miss my cat sniffing the air and making a face whenever I step back into my suv after smoking whenever I have to take him to the vet or the pet spa.

 

[Idahojo]

These were all good. LOL

I miss driving home and trying to caculate how many packs I had and if it would last till I left the house again or if I had to stop and begrudgingly go give the govt more stinking $$$$!!!!!! I so miss that! Now I smile and wave at the casino where I bought my cigs and mentally add up just how much $$ they aren't getting from me!! LOLOL

I too miss the nice burn holes in my clothes and carpet. They were so purty!

I miss cleaning that lovely yellow film off my comp monitor every few weeks. It was such a nice tinge!

I miss having to change my lamp shades every 6 months cause they matched my comp screen till I washed it and then things just "didn't go" anymore.

I miss my grandson saying, "Grandma you really should quit smoking." He started saying this at 5.

But this week I'm celebrating 6 months of "missing" all these things and more. Poor me!!!

 

[RKayne]

You are so right about that lowwkeyy

I miss that little spark that jumps off and goes out before you can touch the spot that blistering shard of sun hit.

I miss that feeling when you rip a layer of lip off because of the filter sticking to your lip.

I miss taking twice the amount of Blood Pressure meds and still having 130-80 or so instead of half with 117/70.

I miss having to leave conversations, those intense hours long ones because I needed to smoke.

I miss sideways rain and being on the balcony anyways and acting as if it was a natural thing to do

I also miss going out there now when the YellowJackets have taken up residence close by and are constantly dive bombing the balcony

I miss so much that I am about to order a combined 200 or so ml of juice and flavours.

 

[RustyTec]

sorry. duplicate post. I will try real hard not to do it again.

Wow, I can't even begin to imagine what I would have said to her.
But I can pretty much guarantee she wouldn't have said anything after the first comment.
