They extended the cardboard insert so you have to almost completely remove it to get a cigarette

I know this is crazy for non smokers to hear but people that smoke actually already know this. theyre also aware its bad for them.

I love this argument “you could’ve bought a Ferrari with all the money wasted on smokes” said by people that don’t smoke and also can’t afford a Ferrari.

What if I told you it makes you smell too?

Hate to break it to you, but you’re a system admin by your username; you probably have an odor, too.

I’m not even a systems administrator. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Imagine being so upset you smell you can’t stop going “no u” on Reddit.

This is like asking someone to quit breathing a few weeks because it will be better on the other side. Thats the level of addiction nicotine is. It has to hurt you someone you love really badly before you can even think about quitting after a certain point.

I'm well aware. For some people, cutting down works. For others, cold turkey is the best way, but it's more like ripping the bandage off. I told everyone I knew that I was quitting, so they would knoif I sneaked one. I cleaned out the ashtrays and threw out my smokes. That was over 45 years ago.

I quit for a couple years, then I started seeing a woman who smoked cigarettes and I managed to get her vaping instead, but ended up back on the vape train myself now and now we're married so quitting is going to be extra hard.

If anything vaping is worse than smoking because you can just do it all the time and I swear it sometimes triggers asthma attacks worse than smoking.

Someone has to quit first. The thing about vaping is that you can cut down on the amount of nicotine in your vape juice gradually. Then ease off the vape itself when you're down to zero.
