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

[truthseeker]

How about when your "inner engineer/doctor/rocket scientist" comes out in you because your last cigarrete just broke, but fortunately it was close to the filter, so your "inner engineer/doctor/rocket scientist" comes out and you say "Yeah , I can definitely fix this" as you carefully break it off completely and let out some tobacco from the filter end so you can reinsert the broken piece, but backwards this time because that is the "more even side" and is easier to insert.
You then carefully "pack" this "fixed" cigarette and hold it up high like Simba in the Lion King and you say "Behold your new king!".
Bursting with pride at this point, you light this "Zombie cigarette" and get immersed in your tv show/project/book, so you absent mindedly flick it and the whole thing breaks again, but this time there is a live cherry in it and it falls, burning a nice little hole in your bed/carpet/sofa? Too much?

Have a great day!

I would do this, but use tape to hold it together, telling myself I would remember it was taped and stop before that point. Of course I always forgot and got a real nasty burnt tape smell and taste.

I was always quite the a$$whole by day 3

OMG - I almost got fired the last time I tried to quit (on the patch - ha, ha) because I was going through the crazies and nearly tore a new a$$hole into a coworker who picked the wrong day to mess with me.

Now, most of my coworkers don't even know I've quit. One did notice I wasn't coughing as much, and when I showed him my 510 rig, he just said, "Cool". Tee-hee. Now he wants to get one for his mother.

One domino at a time, folks..........

I will not miss getting my last analog wet and being unable to smoke it

 

[GregH]

Don't remember anyone posting this one:

Going out somewhere, getting there, and then having a panic attack as to whether or not I put out that last cigarette at home.

I will not miss the rush to get my toddlers to bed so I can go outside and chain smoke ... only to worry that my very rambunctious three year old is burning the house down inside.

The worrying about one of my elem. students seeing me smoking in the car and getting the "talk" from their parents on being a better example (I already get the "what? you aren't married? but you have CHILDREN!" talk on a weekly basis ... oy!)

The "mommy ... why does your hair smell funny" speech from the five year old ... and the packing two toddlers up (which is a total pain) just to run to the convenience store that is a mile away to get smokes because I will go postal without them ...

Yes ... this whole no tobacco thing is very nice indeed!

 

[metapuff]

won't miss after running out of cigs, having to pick thru the old butts to smoke them down to the filter because i don't have money or am too lazy to go to the store.

 

[metapuff]

burning the upholstery on my 2007 acura because i misjudged the window and leaving a nasty mark.

Yea, this time around I quit cold turkey for two weeks prior to purchasing an e-cig. So did the other senior network engineer. About day 3, one of the project managers wanted to have a meeting to discuss "network issues" with us. Not a good idea for him

Hehe, had a similar experience myself. Next trip had me carrying a backup pack, both in baggies. I haven't tried the e-cig fly fishing yet, bad time of the season here. I'll get out again before it winds up. Fly fishing in CO, man I envy you.

 

[Crankyfuzz]

I do not miss people bumming analogs off me then complaining it is not their brand...

 

[kinabaloo]

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)

Great thread, great read; thanks for starting it

In case you've not heard, China has changed a lot. For example, this news item in today's newspaper: Chinese are the new super spenders in Britain's luxury shops | Mail Online

"Gloom-defying shoppers from China are flocking to the luxury stores in the West End of London, outspending Arab royalty and replacing super-rich Russian visitors, whose numbers have been dropping.
Some luxury goods stores are even employing staff who can speak Mandarin in order to cash in on the new arrivals. ...
A record one in every 1,700 residents on the Chinese mainland has a personal wealth of at least $1million (£611,000)."

I won't miss having to jump up from the dinner table when visiting parents, friends, etc to run and have a smoke after a meal. Then again I'll have to sit with my family now. Maybe I will miss that.

And no more running outside in the dead of winter between periods at the hockey game to get crushed in a crowd of drunk smoking Red Wings fans, then rushing to my seat hoping to make it back in time for the drop of the puck. It sucks paying big bucks for a ticket then missing some of the action.

Not a problem with vaping.

Another fun thread might be "what I'm looking forward too"

Like vaping in my bow stand and not being worried about the odor!

I will not miss the lectures from my ex & son every time I see them. I will not miss missing big chunks of movies because I can't go 2 hours without a cig. I will most definitely not miss craving a smoke while I'm driving because I don't want to expose my wife to second hand smoke or pull over. One my wife just pointed out. I will not miss going outside to smoke after sex instead of cuddling.

 

[mischiefgrrl]

I thought of another "won't miss"

Trying to find a hiding place in the rain and trying to light a cig while the wind blows out the lighter and the rain drenches it. Then trying to sneak back into work without anyone wondering why I'm suddenly soaking wet in the middle of a high rise building.

 

[Crankyfuzz]

I will not miss being questioned on how much I smoke and do I really need to smoke that much....

 

[metapuff]

will not miss worrying about being upwind from a non smoking buddy while hanging out. now they can take it full on!

 

[Porphy]

I won't miss the very embarrassing burn I got when having a cigarette during my "constitutional". ...

...

guys know what I mean... maybe some girls.
