what I WILL NOT miss......the list

[MREXE]

Ive noticed alot of seemingly negative, whining, "just dont wanna hassle" , to much to learn posts over the couple of weeks of perusing this forum, and thot to myself today after only two days and much success of taking up this new "Practise"(notice, I didnt say habit, already have that) I should post a list that can be added to as to what I WONT MISS!!

FILTH,ashtrays, ashes EVERYWHERE!
FIRE, burns on my clothing, carpet car everywhere
INCONVENIENCE, where do i put my burning cig down? now i just put it in my pocket!!!!
MONEY, was paying $2.70 per thru an Indian res!
FEELING REJECTED, restuarants, ball games, etc.
THE STINK, most of which I probably dont even notice yet, but others do
40 YEARS of embarassment due to my lack of will power, which after much discovery realize I became hooked to the worst drug on the Planet.

I"ll stop there, let everyone chime in, I could go on for hours im sure!

the morning cough
not tasting my food
over salting everything
hearing about the dirty habbit from co workers

that is all i can think of for now
EDIT: loosing lighters at 2 bucks a pop

 

[RKayne]

I agree with ALL of that

 

[doots]

I all those pretty much cover it.

The look of irritation oh hubby's face when the flow of air in the house changed and he got hit with a faceful of smoke. Now I can cuddle up close and vape away when we watch TV.

Maybe doesn't apply to everyone,, but here in Ohio, going outside in terrible weather, hot and cold, just to get my fix on my work breaks!

 

[MREXE]

wow Moonflame, that's so cool, ive lost many relationships due to my smoking...........

 

[SudokuGal]

That panicky feeling of running out...mmm, of course now I have to worry about running out of juice.

Hearing the doctor ask if I'm ready to quit smoking YET.

Watching old guys with oxygen tanks, still smoking. Knowing I also have zero will-power and that will be me someday.

Paying 9$ a day for something that you don't even really like.

But, NOT NOW!

Everything everyone else has mentioned plus:

Burns to my person. Especially when a cig would stick to my lips, and my fingers would run down the length of the cig and hit the fire. I also still have a scar on my stomach from where the fire fell off a cig one time.

Smoke getting in my eyes. It's not nearly as romantic as the song would have you believe. It actually burns quite a lot.

Dropping a lit cigarette while driving and having it roll under the seat.

not to be negative on my own post, but, let us not forget, that nicotine is still not good for ya.......having said that, this invention ( of which the technology has been around for over 60 years< THANKS FER NOTHIN' PHILLIP MORRIS) has changed my life for whats left of it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Crankyfuzz]

I will not miss scrubbing walls so often because of analog smoke....

 

[MREXE]

Oh hell yeah Greg, like I said, could go on fer hours, personal injuries! THOUSANDS OF TIMES...........burnt fingers, passed out, fell asleep, etc dang that hurts, fookin fire!!!

I found out after I switched that my Mom used to toss my daughters clothes in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet when I sent her to stay there overnight. It's nice knowing now that I'm not sending her out into the world smelling like smoke anymore.

I've never personally had such a bad reaction to the smoker's odor, but a friend was telling me the other day that him and a few other smokers went out to eat and as soon as they sat down they overheard people at a neighboring table complaining about a "bad smell". After a couple minutes of that, the waitress actually told my friend's group that they had to move to a different table because their cigarette odor was bothering other customers. Granted, those other people were obviously anti-smoker, holier-than-thou types, but still!

Bad enough you can't smoke IN a restaurant anymore (well, I guess it's no big deal), but us smokers are always chastised for our odor. Not anymore with the vaping!

It was kind of funny... the other day in Walgreens a woman came up and started chatting with our daughter for a few seconds (she's cute as a button.... happens all the time). After we walked out, my wife and I both agreed that the woman was definitely a smoker. Don't get me wrong.... I am not turning into an "Anti-smoker"...... it's just funny how you don't realize how much you smell to non-smokers until you quit.

man, this stuff is motivating me beyond belief! gotta luv techno and the
"CHI-COMS"........they got it going.......im humbled( NOT THAT I LIKE COMMUNISM)

 

[AngusATAT]

I won't miss that look on my wife's face when I lean in to give her a kiss after I come back inside from having a smoke.

Or the wrinkled noses when folks get on the elevator with me at work.

 

[Crankyfuzz]

I wont miss smelling like an ashtray

I will not miss having the dentist giving me the lecture.....

I will not miss the snide comments people make....(now they think I am doing a great thing when I was smoking I was killing myself etc)

I will not miss having my monster in law chain smoking in my house while complaining it smells like smoke (shes gotta go outside now...wait till she finds this out)

I will not miss the emptying and cleaning the 10lb ashtray that my hubby thought was so great.

 

[MREXE]

cant wait to get my choco mint, so I cant give a sweet kiss to my sis..........

Oooh... that could be a fun conversation.

It was easy with my parents. I told them that nobody smokes in my house, not even me. I don't make exceptions where the health of my wife and kids are concerned.
