Things I don't miss about smoking...which have nothing to do with health...

[nicgnostic_777]

1. Not having people constantly asking to "bum" a cig from me
2. Not having actually bums trying to "bum" a cig from me
3. Not having people always asking me for a light
4. Not having to remember to get my lighter back from the person who asked for a light
5. Not having to worry about whether or not I will run out of cigarettes by the end of the day
6. Not having to worry about whether the temperature was right for smoking
7. Not having to curse the wind gods when I only had matches
8. Not being able to smoke indoors
9. Not being able to multitask when smoking
10. Not being able to avoid a$$holes who cough and yell "you're killing yourself"

Anyway these are just a few, feel free to add to this list

I'm going to add to this!

11) Not having my wife constantly snatching the not even full ashtray from me to go empty.
12) Not having to find my cigarettes in the car.
13) Not having to find my lighter in the car.
14) Not having to refill my zippo.
15) Not having to drive all over town to find 2 cartons of my wife's cigarettes on Friday mornings when I've just worked a 16 hour shift.
16) Not running out in the middle of the night when I'm the only person at work and I'm not allowed to leave.
17) Not having the freeze my a** off to go outside to smoke.
18) Not having to sweat my a** off to go outside to smoke.
19) Finally having a valid argument to combat the ' FER THE CHILDREN! ' anti-everything folks that seem to have taken over my city.
20) Diner coffee + vaping = Good.

21) Not overfilling My Zippo and putting in MY pocket

 

[alex8039]

People have always asked me for lighters or cigarettes, even before I had my first cigarette. I guess I have 'smoker' written on my face :/

Not being asked to bum smokes by people on the street is the big one for me. I live in SF, which is apparently the most wonderful place for bums to live.

...I have to admit, if I was a bum I'd live in SF, if for nothing else than the bum-friendly weather.

 

[nicgnostic_777]

I'm from SF and have had the worst smoking experiences, vaping is almost my version of "suck it" to those people but of course they want to ban e-cigs now...we just can't catch a break lol

The nasty Odor . . . The odor which clings to our clothes, hair, hands, face, etc.

Haha, that's what everyone else doesn't miss about my smoking!

 

[MDV39]

EVERYTHING!!!!! I'm never gonna be that guy that preaches to smokers but in my final days I really hated everything to do with smoking. Oh and just for the record hated forgetting my lighter at home.

 

[OptimoMuffin]

Littering every time I throw butts

 

[Lowlife]

I don't miss forgetting to fill the Zippo and it running out of fluid at 10am on a full work day.

[peacepipe]

Ashes everywhere.

Yellow teeth
Eminent death

 

[nicgnostic_777]

Just a few more:
-Buying a carton thinking I will smoke less when I actually smoke more
-Traveling to the next city to get a "deal" on cigarettes
-Potheads telling me I'm killing myself (more on that another time)
-People telling me I'm killing them as they drive off in their HUMMER or any other gas guzzling vehicle
-Ash everywhere
-Making ashtrays out of scrap aluminum foil

 

[eratikmind]

Oh . . . And leaving the house without my cigs and wondering if I should go back or stop by the store.

 

[IrishUpstart]

That first cigarette with a raging hang-over

 

[eratikmind]

Chewing gum or taking a breath mint thinking that I had successfully masked the odor.

 

[Faylool]

Well. I had some pipe tobacco last night. It was there and I felt I needed a lot and now. Ive only smoked 15-17 years since I started at 10 and I'm 60. I really quit a lot! Man. Stinky raunchy just not good at all. I'd rather chew the pipe tobacco next time. I don't even lie tobacco flavors.
Hate tobacco love the goods

 

[eratikmind]

The infamous, " This is my last pack of cigs. I'll quit this crap, tomorrow."
