driving thru pouring rain with the window down to let smoke out and getting me and the rear seat all wet. i didn't even remember that part until driving thru the rain a few weeks ago enjoying a puff with the window up. having my dog give me a dirty look because they got a whiff of smoke, my younger daughter telling me she won't talk to me when i need one of those tracheotomy things from throat cancer, and all while telling myself it was for the enjoyment of a smoke

I don't miss that my purse always had bits and pieces of chopped up tobacco all over the inside. It got into nooks and crannies of everything. "Hey, do you have a mint?", then go to grab one and it'd be littered with pieces of tobacco. Gross and embarrassing. Now when I go to switch out my purse, no more hanging my purse upside down over the garbage can, shaking the heck out of it to empty tobacco from it. And my mints are now suitable to share.

I don't miss wasting a cigarette when all I had time for was a drag or two. Now a puff or two go back to whatever I was doing.

I will second the comment about zippos. I have some great ones and I feel guilty leaving them sitting in the drawer.

Getting 5 miles down the road, and turning around to go back and check the ashtray to see if I really did put that one out!
Burn holes in my clothes.
Hacking, hacking, hacking...did I say hacking?!
Worrying about running out of cigs...

I do miss my Zippo though, love that smell ;) clink/zzip/snap! and sound :)

Keep the zippo for trickssss

My worst moments when smoking were when I'd lose a lighter get out my cigarette thinking I was going to get my fix. Only to have it be held up by not being able to actually get lit. One of those so close but so far away moments; no pain like that imho. I don't miss that at all. Also I hated smoking in other people's vehicles for the fear that either the cherry would fall off, drop the cigarette, or that it would come back in the window when I threw it out.

No failed mods, batteries, leaking juice..oh wait... damn it..
The masses would come bum from me. That got old. I would also blow extra 5-10 on random junk food, lighters at the gas station and my mission was just smokes. Losing my 80 dollar colibri lighters..
When I really miss it, I now bum from them.. Payback's a bish..

1) The Cost
2) Having to go outside in the rain/sleet/snow/impending apocalypse to smoke
3) Cleaning ash that's been ground into the carpets of my car
4) The stinky clothes
5) The Stinky breath
6) Yellowing Teeth
7) Yellowing fingers
8) Doctor up my backside all the time about stopping smoking (showed him, hah!)
9) Dentist up my backside at the same time about what smoking is doing to my teeth
10) Finding tobacco absolutely everywhere all the time
11) Loose packets that tip tobacco out everywhere and waste it
12) Never having enough papers
13) Carrying a backup lighter, and a backup for the backup lighter

Umm... That's all i can think of for now

It's been so cold here.. but the last few days have been sunny. I went out on my back deck.. just looking at the woods behind my house and I smelled something bad. An ashtray left sitting on the railing.. full of butts in a gooey sludge of rainwater.. it's been sitting there all winter.

That really made me think about how smoking was ruining my life.
