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

/facepalm

This happened to me. Only the cherry WAS on the tip. Got a silver dollar-sized crater in my back seat from that sucker.

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 ..... >.<

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

Oh yea, wally world ran ours out of business in Xenia.

One thing I WILL miss is acting like I just pushed in the car's cigarette lighter, wait a minute, and then toss it casually into the back seat just to watch my friends sitting back there freak out...

A friend of mine had an old car that would launch the cig lighter into the backseat automatically. It was angled perfectly

Trying to flick the ashes into the car ashtray and missing the mark while driving under a downpour at night not daring to turn my eyes away from the road.

 

[Bubba]

Wait, beer is booze.

Beg to differ - you just insulted booze everywhere

Seriously, that's the worst.thing.Evar. It's surprising how fast you can pull that car over when you're doing 70+ though, isn't it?

Not finding horrid little pieces of tobacco all over the bottom of my purse when I cleaned it out....I really really hated that, just struck me as nasty every time I seen it and it didn’t seem to matter how careful with my pack I was …They was always there!

More than anything, I don't miss doing the Houdini twisties trying to find the cig I dropped somewhere in the car while driving before it burns a hole in something. The zmax is much easier to find on the floor or beside the seat when I drop it!

I always had them in the bottom of my winter coat's pocket. Also gross.

The ashy fingertips and the tobacco beneath your nails when digging for change in the car cupholders...

Getting ash and crap in your eye when you try to blow said nastiness out of said cupholders...

Going back into the house after having a smoke in the garage and hearing my 5 year old grandson saying, " I smell smoke."

Good Lord, what was I thinking about . . . Idiot!

 

[Lowlife]

Hot ash in the eye. Ouch!

 

[chellemmm]

Lighting the wrong end and INHALING it!
Dirty looks from anti-smokers
Burn holes on my NEW,EXPENSIVE clothing
Burn holes on ANY of my clothing
Not smoking in bed
Smoking in bed & burning a HOLE in my comforter or sheets
Smelling like smoke
Tasting like smoke
Always feeling "dirty"
Burn holes on ANYTHING
Wheezing
That weird breathing sound I used to make when laying down
Planning my day around when/where I could smoke

I got a MILLION of 'em!

Oh, I had forgot about that. The sleeves on a couple of coats are pitted with ash burn. They look terrible. I'm embarrassed to wear them, now.

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!

That caused me to wreck my car once. Cherry landed on my lap when I had basketball shorts on. It did not end well!

I bet not!

Came close to wrecking mine once when the whole cig fell and I couldn't immediately find it. Somewhere under the seat with flammable stuff. Really scared me.

Yea man i was driving through a subdivision after work, lit up a cig, put it my mouth took a drag, and I guess my lips were a little wet went to pull the cig out and it stuck to my lips. My fingers dragged across the cig and knocked the cherry off into my lap. It made me flinch enought to run up on the curb where little trees were planted. I took out a small tree and destroyed my outer and inner tie rods. Not a cheap or easy fix. Really embarrassing

After awhile you feel like you need to go to confession for lighting up lol and yes I spent a lot of time planning my day according the number of cigarettes I had left, i.e. only three cigs left and its 7 o'clock then I'm packing it in early that night or I'm going to stay up untl the corner store opens get my pack smoke my cig and pass out from asphyxiation, exhaustion and delight

 

[potholerepairman]

watching a pelican on the beach pick up a cig .... with lipstick thinking it was a frenchfry with ketchup and drop it in disgust, and knowing some bag lady could have taken my properly trashed smoke and lipped the .... and been my fault(indirectly, of course).

things i do miss: not always having a lighter in my pocket
