    I live alone and actively wish I could die. I’m not hurting anyone but myself.

    I am glad that it’s not cool with the younger generations, and that the whole vaping fad kinda died back.

    Still though, the amount of self righteousness and lack of empathy from some non smokers really makes me glad that I will never have to hang out with those types of people.

    Addiction is a hell of a thing, and when the alternative is worse than quitting, it’s extremely difficult to quit.

          same. I’m not quite at the point of suicide yet but I definitely don’t need to live into my goddamn 80’s 50’s. not here, not now.

          You shouldn’t express your suicidal ideations in public. It’s dangerous for other people. If someone feels bad for you and tries to help you avoid living longer without smoking, they could get in lots of trouble. You’re playing with fire.

              There are a lot of people on this website who believe in the right to die and would feel bad, seeing you suffering like this. They’d want to talk about your right to die with you. But they could get in trouble for that, because the pro-life people see that as encouraging suicide. You’re putting the pro-choice people in the difficult position of choosing whether to try to help you, or look after themselves.

    I feel bad for people who have never been addicted to anything, because they’re the real losers. You want to know why? Because they don’t know what it’s like to really want something - and then get it again and again and again. (Marc Maron)

    But seriously, the one thing I’m proud of in my life is that I was able to quit smoking. Hard, but so worth it!

    All this woke ass anti cigarette shit! Y’all have obviously never enjoyed a cup of coffee and a smoke on a still summer morn. A post coital puff as your lover plays her fingers through your chest hair like smoke on the water. Good lord I miss cigarettes!

    But seriously never smoke, it smells terrible, will ruin your health, and is an all around terrible proposition.

      Yeah, it was fun for a while. The good thing is, so many people stopped smoking in the last few years, that smoking stopped to be this special social thing.

    I quit by vaping off of cigarettes, and then gradually reducing the nicotine in vape juice until I was vaping 0 nicotine for a couple of months, then stopped altogether. Been nicotine free for several years now, and no cravings.

        Meanwhile idiots like me ended up vaping all day long and when I went back to cigarettes my tolerance was through the roof and I smoked more than I ever did.

          There’s still hope. I still chain vape, but the amount of nicotine I use is but a whisper. It’s entirely a routine at this point. I’m figuring out positive actions I can do whenever I feel the need to suck on my robot dick.

            Asexual non smoker here. I have bad news for you:

            The urge of sucking robot dick is truly universal and inevitable.

              I’m hoping we make First Contact soon so I can make a healthy transition from Robot Dick to Alien Dick.

              Sorry, that’s insensitive.

    I used to work with a guy that smoked and refused to wear a seat-belt. He carried a gun though, just in case his life was in danger.

    I don’t think people smoke because they feel like shit doing so, quite the opposite imo
