i smoke ecigs without nicotine in them, kind of bitchmade but ive got other addictive drugs to worry about

my bony fealty
Oct 1, 2008

Switched to an e-cig about 6 weeks ago and I've bought one pack of (clove) cigarettes since then, smoked maybe 15 normal cigs from bumming off people in that time.

At my peak during my sophomore year of college I smoked about half a pack a day (Camel Menthols), never could do more than that unless drinking/on meds. I was smoking 2 - 5 American Spirit dark green menthols a day before I switched to the e-cig. It's worked out well, a lot cheaper and I don't cough frequently anymore.

Cigarettes are still cool though, smokers are good folks.

I didn't like ecigs, they don't have that real throat ripping power actual tobacco has, i never really had a satisfying drag and it was too easy to get too much nicotine.

i only ever smoke in foreign countries--its weird. it just feels more right and plus italy was cool with vending machines for that poo poo without needing to go into a shady shop ran by a middle eastern dude or whatever. NZ was kinda a pain since they like hide everything behind locked cabinents so i didn't know that any place sold them until a month later and then found out they were like $25 a pack. america is pretty uptight about it but yea they do really make you smell like hot garbage. i'd probably still smoke in america if there was 0 smell.

some goon sells ecigs on SAmart for 70% called aquacig. so you can get a nice starter kit for like $15 and i feel they have a good throat power to them. trick is that you got to use two at once for some real dizzy-inducing throat rip.

I smoked two packs a day of either unfiltered, full flavor, or hand-rolled (depending on location and situation) for about 20 years and goddamn, son. Up until I quit (via ecigs and then its fat, spergy brother, vaping) I always kinda liked the smell of cigarettes. After I quit, I opened a box of old stuff I had in storage and holy gently caress I'd like to personally apologize to everyone I encountered in person during that time. Also, my chest doesn't hurt all the time! Smoking!

two packs a day is intense, i have never understood how that could be pleasurable

At the risk of posting this in GBS, the oral fixation is an issue, as was the increasing need to do something with my hands. The act of smoking itself - the habit, the weird rituals that can crop of with smokers, stuff like that - were more critical to me than the nicotine or taste. I'm a fidgety dude, hands always gotta be doing something, so it gets kinda easy to get up to that level. Vaping has helped with that part a bit, as I have multiple rebuildable atomizers and can always just wrap new wire coils or try new ways of wicking, etc.

I still bum a smoke or two here and there at the bar or whatever, mostly when talking to girls who smoke, but man, the flavor just kinda sucks now, by comparison.

I smoked cigarettes starting at 15 and stopped at 24. It's absolutely amazing how much better you feel when you stop and I wish I could get those 9 years back and have been more athletic or something.

except French inhale is gross if I wanted to smoke like that i'd put em in my nostrils

if you inhale a bit of smoke from the end through your nostrils at the end of a drag you can get the same high you got in your youth, though it'll make you sick if you do it too much

Back in the day, some had paper wrappers with corn starch inside so you could actually puff out a couple clouds by blowing on them before eating them. Do they still make those?

When you have kids getting gifts for them from smokers is awesome - hey thanks for the teddy bear that smells like Charles Bukowski into the crib it goes!

ISILDUR's ERR
most of them start out at the age of like eleven prompted by their parents doing it around them and literally being born into a house of smoke and then they do a thing they're addicted to (but get no real buzz from after the first month or something) until they die

shouldn't we stop insulting smokers and start paying for their rubbers so there won't be anymore smoker kids

There are 3 ways too look at this, I am either providing a job for some schlub to pick up after, giving a bird some stinky nest construction material
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/culturing-science/2012/12/04/cigarette-butts-in-nests-deter-bird-parasites/
(me and birds are symbiotic maybekinda?) or you can consider it extra kindling for the eventual fires that will consume us all.

I'm pretty disappointed in myself for starting, I still find the laughing in the face of death bit kinda cool but dumb, as others have mentioned it's the weird habits that form around, it used to be something I do after a few hours of work or play or as a transition between one activity and the next. Now those times come and I find myself stuck going "now what? Get a glass of water? I want a break from this cleaning, paper working, digging, gaming, reading, what the gently caress ever" and I don't know what to do so smoke it is.

Edit: That youthful buzz? Cut back a good bit like me! It's back a lot more often again, is rad.
