Smoking cigarettes, your experiences and opinions

[KleinerWolf]

Man.. craving Marlboro Ice blast,
I used to smoke it when I use it to deal with stress,
Nowadays the government puts too much tax on it more than $37 for a 20s pack, ain't nobody gonna spend money that?
Also stopped smoking because my teeth are fucked up.

I've been replacing it with alcohol, much cheaper surprisingly.

Well, I stopped again weeks ago, had a hard time but nicotine pills helped a lot.

I began smoking in the early 1980s. I smoked over a pack a day and at one point I was allowed to smoke at my desk at work, so I smoked 3 packs a day.
I switched to vaping almost 10 years ago. I crave cigarettes often. I have had to stay out of convenience stores because if I go in, I'm afraid I'll cave and buy a pack. I totally love the smell. When I pass by someone who's smoking, I walk slowly and breath deeply, enjoying the second hand smoke.
I have smoked everything that can be lit on fire. I have inhaled everything but coke, never tried that. I haven't snorted anything, but if it can be inhaled, I have.

and my chosen method for CTB - exit bag and gas. Coincidence?

Camel Turkish Royals, the only smokes I'll buy. Started smoking at 19, quit for a year at 23/24, then started again and here I am, about to light one up on my porch with my coffee. I try to only smoke 3-4 a day. They're damn expensive, $8 a pack, but aside from occasional drinking it's my only vice. I don't smoke weed anymore or do any other recreational drugs. Nothing like a cigarette, as fucked up as the habit is, and as awful as they smell. When I worked I used to wear gloves and hide out back to smoke, after all I was a vitamin and supplement sales associate so smelling like cigs wasn't the best look. Wearing gloves keeps the smell off your hands, but wherever you dispose of the gloves will smell worse than an ashtray.
