What to do with cigarettes?

[FeralGeek]

So I have had a pack of American spirits sitting on my coffee table for 2 weeks. Just haven't wanted one since my first vape (which is big after smoking a pack a day since I was 14 till 29!), but what the hell should I do with the nasty .......s now? Any creative ideas? I know I can't be the only one that has been stuck with this crap, and I don't have anyone I hate enough to give them to.

If you have a bug problem you can soak them in water and then spray for bugs. Wont last long but it'll kill any of those little buggers you get with it.

open the pack and pull each one out one at a time and snap them in half. Do it with a witness present. Works especially well if you have you significant other there, +2 if they have been on your backside to quit.
or give them to someone who can smoke them.

Don't feel bad about that lonely pack of analogs. I used to drive to Delaware every 4-5 weeks to stock up on Marlboros and have more than a carton left. I'll probably give them to my wife's boss since he smokes Winston (pretty close). Actually, what I should do is buy him a starter kit and get him off analogs! He tends to smoke in the office and drives my wife nuts!

I have had the same unopened pack sitting ontop of the fridge for 2 months. I just keep them there as a safety net. It seemed when I smoked I was always worrying about running out so its not that I want to smoke them it just makes me feel better knowing they are there. Having them also reminds me of the great decision I made to quit.

I kept hold of mine - every couple months I try to smoke one. Not only does it reinforce my desire to not smoke them again (and dont knock the psychological value of that) it also makes me crave my PV instead. I actually managed a whole one the other day (a first for me in 7 months lol) and while the experience wasn't godawful it wasn't great either. The smoke made me feel light headed dizzy and sick and it was way too much nic at one time. Of course it tasted like old shoes too so that didnt help.
My vote then is hang onto 'em, jsut dont have them in plain sight.

Gave mine to a neighbor weeks ago, he still has a few left he is now saving as back-ups since his new kit is arriving tomorrow.

I kept mine for a while as a "just in case", but when I realized I was actually done with them, I gave them away to a guy at work who smokes. It was funny because I still had like five packs left and I didn't want to waste all that money and was determined to finish the carton. But each time I had an analog, I got more and more disgusted with the taste and smell and just couldn't do it.

I had seven packs on hand when I quit. I held onto them for a month or so then gave them to a neighbor who smoked the same kind. I

I carried mine around until I saw a homeless guy picking up butts, gave them to him and totally made his day!

I've still got maybe 3 days worth of rolling tobacco. Still in my purse. Lighter (which I reckon I'll always carry - fire's handy), papers, and filters.

Like a couple other people here, I just feel better knowing they're there, even though I don't have any desire to smoke them. I'm sure I'll get around to tossing them eventually - the tobacco is OLD by now. I wouldn't have wanted to smoke it at a month and a half old even when I smoked. So I probably couldn't suck one of them down even if I tried at this point.

But I like knowing they're there. Part for comfort, and part for realizing I don't want them anymore.

I got a starter kit on a Friday and pitched my analogs on Monday. Its a great feeling to be able to climb a ladder and not be out of breath.

Send them to the politicians in NY.

Same here Sometimes the memory is much better than the reality Couple of weeks ago a smoker came over and I took one of theirs and lit it up. 2 drags was the most I could do I kept a pack in the car console for about 6 months and every time I got really stressed and had to have a cig, I'd take one out. 2 drags max. Nasty

I'm in the same boat , i have five packs in the freezer myself, the wife's order wont be here till Monday or Tuesday , but after that i guess ill trash them. , or maybe sell them to coworkers that think e-cigs are a fad and refuse to try them lol

Yeah I was thinking the same thing of course they couldnt afford a kit and you know there going to smoke any how there are even some shelters that except donations of cigarettes for the homeless and ration out like 3 a day too there residence.

I've got about three pounds of tobacco, a few hundred tubes and an injector machine I don't know what to do with. Across the room I've got 20 or so cigs in an airtight jar. I don't know why other than the fact I hate to think of the wasted money they represent. I haven't smoked one since March 20th and don't want to, even to remind myself how nasty they are. I know how nasty they are!

I'd give it all away except for the fact that I don't know anyone to give it to. One of these days I guess I'll just toss it.

I have had 4 packs sitting around and one is open. I will not lie......I have cheated and smoked a couple, but that will cease now that I have found several flavors that truly satisfy my T-Buds.

I had one open pack that I used for the first couple of days after receiving my kit. However, I went from 100% analog to 15% analog the next day and 8% analog the next day. After than, I hid the pack and a few days ago I broke up the only one left in that pack, threw it away, along with my analog case. I still have some unopened packs in the freezer, as we're heading into big time hurricane season and after Katrina, we didn't have electricity for a week. I do think I could get by with the e-juice i now have on hand, and can recharge batteries in the car.....we also have a generator, but just in case, I feel better with them in the freezer. You're crossing a big line to deliberately open a pack. I have cleaned all ashtrays and put them away. That was a big step for me. OH, and yesterday, I was filling out a form and it asked if I smoked and for the first time in 500 years, I could mark NO! That was a great feeling!

I have mine stashed in the freezer. AAH...I never thought about what happens if the power goes out. (small panic attack) I guess I would have to charge my 510 in my car. (but then I need to buy a car charger) I did clean out the ashtrays. I really really don't want to pick up another cig.
