Florentine_Pogen Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 People have been saying that for about as long as I've been alive! The thing I find oddest about smoking cigarettes is that it really does just seem to be a thing people do because they're addicted. Nobody really enjoys it, do they? It's just the relief from the cravings that's pleasant. Most other mainstream addictions (caffeine, alcohol), people also seem to enjoy the taste of whatever they're imbibing, at least.Many years ago at Easter Road there was a large hoarding which carried a simple, straightforward message - "If You Smoke, You Smell"......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer specific brands in the same way as I like particular food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it helps people stop smoking and it's to be congratulated for it, but much of it is bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a myth (or truth) that smokers like to tell non-smokers, in my experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a draw of a cigarette so no idea if it's the same, mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s about 7 years for me and the smell of it turns my stomach now. Couldn’t smoke one if you paid me. Well, maybe if you paid me a lot I would actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Smoking is hugely enjoyable, I stopped two years ago but I will have a few on a big weekend. It is stinking however and an awful waste of money 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed smoking, I really did. I gave up multiple times but never for very long because while I knew it was unhealthy, smelly, anti-social, expensive and all the rest, I always started again because so help me doG, I loved everything about it. If you haven't seen it before, Bebe Glaser from 'Frasier' explains it all here. I finally quit when I married an asthmatic* and even though it's been almost 30 years, I still miss it. *not one of cinema's best sequels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifes no bad. Worst sunburn I ever had was when I went skiing on a sunny day. The rays apparently bounced off the snow and into my face so I got a double whammy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
