This is what I really miss about smoking

[SoUnique]

I was constantly writing notes to self on my cigarette packs.

Since I've quit smoking I've made countless trips to the store after getting home from work, to pick up the things that would have been written on my cig pack.

Post-it notes on my e-cig just are'nt cutting it

what a bizarre issue...

If only one had some other kind of device that could be carried with you everywhere you go. Something that possibly had an alarm for scheduled events. Maybe a calendar? Ohh what if it was a communication device too? Maybe one day, in the future ;P

How many notes could you even fit on a deck of smokes anyway? lol

 

[DevilFishPhil]

Haha I used to do that as well - my smoke pack also doubled as a wallet as I would put a couple of bills in the plastic wrapper..

 

[Smile n' shine]

I've never written anything on a smoke pack...I was blind to the messages of danger etc. so I know 'carton of milk' would have been completely missed

Invest in a small pocket sized notebook or mini calendar planner.....the new habit will follow

I always wrote down phone numbers, lists, addresses, then I would throw them away and have to dig through the garbage to find them, if I remembered in time. Usually I didn't.

The ones that had a calendar inside the back were handy sometimes but I think they are long gone as well. Oh well, I'll just have to use the one on my phone.

Relax, Enjoy!

This reminds me of my mom. She probably still uses her pack of smokes to mark upcoming dates on the calendar and write little notes on the inside of top of the folded lid. I use my smartphone.

the only thing i missed from smoking was the heavy throat hit. but then i found boge cartos. and i save all my notes on my android app. heck. i have my will on there.

 

[DaveP]

My notes go into an Android memo app also. Anytime I need to remember something I type it into the sticky note memo app. I have it pasted onto one of the 7 main screen pages, so I can just swipe once and press and it's up and ready for input.

The really neat part of that app is that you can touch "New", pick a color for the note and have several for different types of memos. One for work, one for home, one for ideas, etc.

I just realized that our American friends never had this convenience of an instant notepad with their cigarette packages!

Perhaps if HC changed the package to the American style more Canadians could be persuaded to quit!

The ONLY thing my smoke pack was good for was to remind me to buy more smokes, because the damn thing was always empty! Man, I don't miss those days!

 

[smokum]

Where would you find the room to write anything anyways, with all the graffix inside & out now ?

And on that note...... did anyone realize that they now no longer list the nicotine & tar content, let alone the other content information that was always on the pack ? and all for the space of adding graphic pictures, helpline numbers, and contact info that do nothing to dissuade a smoker but rather only give a visual to allow the sheeple think someone is doing an appropriate and worthwhile job ?

Isn't the content listing part of the required labeling laws in Canada ?

Weird huh ?

 

[Smile n' shine]

Isn't the content listing part of the required labeling laws in Canada ?

Weird huh ?

I had the same discussion concerning the labels....if labeling is mandatory aren't they afraid of lawsuits because the ingredients aren't listed, if someone becomes ill?

I say this half jokingly because I suppose the death warnings are a safety net. I know there are many rules according to the food & drug regulations....don't know why cigarettes are suddenly exempt? Makes me afraid to think what else has been added to them!

Amen to that, brotha!

One can only hope that the new iPhone has a built in PV.

I heard a rumour that what they're doing in Australia will be making it's way here:

Plain-packaging cigarette challenge in Australia's high court | World news | guardian.co.uk

 

[ChellyNelly]

What do you mean, Oriana? Fighting the legislation or the legislation? I thought it had already been said and done that the packaging was changing to larger nasty pictures and less brand specific stuff.

 

[Oriana871]

I didn't mean anything, was just pointing out the direction that packaging is going.

 

[ChellyNelly]

I meant what do you mean by "what they're doing in Australia". I wasn't sure if you meant the actual legislation or fighting the legislation.

I miss doing cigarette tricks. Twirling unlit ones between my fingers, Making lit ones disappear...

I don't miss having to give someone a drag, having someone "sewer" my filter, or dropping a cherry on my car seat.
