This thread is hilarious. I can still remember visiting my mom in the hospital and people following me ouside dragging an oxygen bottle and an IV wanting to bum a smoke. Funny thing is pulling out my PV and saying "sorry I don't smoke, I vape and I don't want your mouth on it". The look on their faces is priceless.

just getting dirty looks from people, your a smoker? You must be stupid and evil.
worrying about a full carton of marlboro's ($62 at the rez) disappearing because I loath locking my truck.
my girlfriend nagging me about quitting.
lack of kisses from above said girlfriend, I'm such a romancer lol.
breaking cigarettes and trying to hold the two parts together and not getting a satisfying smoke.
not having to go outside at 2 am to go have a quick puff before bed, especially when it's 20 degrees outside.

I dont miss anything at all about smoking. We quit for about 5 months a few years back and then restarted during a stressful time. From that point forward I hated the smell that analogs left behind. We switched to our pvs last aug and I am just now getting the nasty smell out of the closets and such in our home. Areas not often aired out held on to that smell something fierce.

Not judgemental these days, but honestly cant stand to be around a smoker. Had to leave my aunts a few weeks ago because her friend felt the need to sit beside me and smoke one after the other. Can say that old urge to light up is long gone!!! Will stick with vaping as long as I can!!!

Buying only $10 in groceries when I really needed $50 so I could afford the $55 carton of cigs.
Ashtray outside that gets rained in leaving me with biohazard sludge
Boss seeing me smoking outside wondering if there should be a policy change (can see it on his face)
Annual threat to drop me (and the other smokers) from the company health care plan
Root planing at the dentist because the heat from the cig caused my gums to recede (they're better now)
Feeling like a smuggler while visiting family in a 'tobacco friendly state' and have to stock up for return to my fascist state

Pulling one out of your mouth only to find it's stuck to your lips a bit as your fingers slide down and land on the cherry. Ouch!

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Lol
God I can't even count the number of times this has happened to me!! It hurts so much and sometimes you blisters that hurt for days.. Not to mention having to figure out where the cherry went to make sure you didn't start a fire.

-Lighting the wrong end
Especially if its your last one and your driving at night and think its just the wind blowing your lighter out so you burn most of the filter basically rendering it utterly unsmokable, even filterless.

Ah, an even better one: The cigarette flying into the back window because you forgot it was down, so it flies into the backseat. You have to pull over on the interstate, jump out, and hunt around until you find it. The cherry had not come back in, just the ..... >.<
I got hit in the face with a cherry because of this a couple times it SUCKS!! Beware of riding in the backseat of a 2 door with open top windows that vent in the back they are the worst for this IMHO

The thing that I miss the least which I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned more is the *#@%$!; SMELL!!! OMG does that **** stink!! not to mention that I work in a health club and they don't exactly smile upon smelling like a ciggy...
Ok I think I'm done ranting now. Great thread OP and every one

Hah hah, remember Fulmers? Only place I could get booze. Glad I don't drink booze anymore. Wait, beer is booze. So, nevermind.
