Most people I’ve talked to who have quit find the smell super freaking gross and are often hyper sensitive to it. And I wonder if there’s something just totally wrong with me, because even when I had stopped smoking for like 5 years, I still liked the smell. :\

I’m glad your dad managed to quit!

I’m going to respond to you even though your comment wasn’t directed at me! Because I agree with you. Also, if this is a duplicate post please dismiss - my internet is being an idiot.

I am... bothered (to say the least) too. I really like the OP - she’s one of my favorite commenters, usually. And I do think her posts…

I think that’s probably a big part of it, although obviously there are tons of other factors at play.

I kind of almost wonder if it’s like a genetics thing or something? Both my sisters have smoked (my little sister still does), and my dad smoked in college. But my mom has always been incredibly disgusted by it - she…

I usually try not to insult people on here, but you come off as a seriously horrible person in this post.

Is that your response to people who are addicted to other things? Addicted to alcohol, heroin, meth, cocaine, etc. etc. the list goes on. Do you not understand the psychology of addiction at all?

I was going to give them away but yeah, flushing them might be a quicker option. :\

So this might actually play into my delusionalness and I could be totally wrong, but I don’t think I’m addicted. Definitely not physically addicted, anyway. Psychologically, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. When I’m not depressed (and often even when I am), it’s really really easy for me to not smoke. So maybe just…

Thanks! You can do it! We can both do it!

And maybe I should get the hell off this post, because talking about smoking always makes me want to smoke.

I started smoking in high school. I can’t remember my reasons for starting, although I do vividly remember pooling my money together with two other girls and splitting a pack for the first time. And I remember being bad at smoking when I first started.
I think a lot of why I started is because the “cool” upperclassmen…

I don’t think they said it was JUST as bad? It’s just still bad. But it’s better than being a heavy smoker.

That started off good and then it got a little dark.

Doesn’t that give you a horrible headache? The first time I had a cigar I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to inhale fully and I felt like I was going to die.

Also you’re not supposed to inhale hookah fully? I didn’t know that.

I had some to bring home with me from the 4th, but very few. I was sharing with two other people and we went through like 2/3rds of the pack together.
I need to do something with the ones I have left, I haven’t touched them but they keep calling me.

And there could be a catchy jingle for it like with kit-kats! Quick, someone more creative than me write one!

Well first of all, often, what Ken said. (I don’t always hate myself, but when I do, I smoke. I should make a meme for that with that beer dude.)
It also really is legit a good stress relief (I know there are healthier stress reliefs, don’t lecture me anyone please :) ), it’s a social thing for those of us who are…

I stopped for five years for the most part and would only smoke if I was REALLY stressed and around someone who had cigarettes. But then I started “dating” a smoker and I smoked with him... and then someone moved in with me who smokes... and idk. Things kind of snowball. But I haven’t bought any! (Except for that one…

I always assumed cigars weren’t as bad for you because you don’t inhale them fully, but I don’t actually have any idea. Let’s go with that, though.

YES. I HOPE.

This is literally me. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who is apparently probably maybe delusional.
(But I am totally going to keep identifying as a non-smoker tyvm.)

Good, good. I mean, I’m not a smoker anymore! I just smoke sometimes.

I kind of like it though? If I bothered with manicures I might do something like that.
