Tobacco is one of the worst drugs ever. The best part is staving off the effects of addiction.
Just imagine the savings of smoking
Alternatively
Imagine the savings of NOT smoking!
It’s a win win whatever side you choose!
I’m so happy that I’m on 10 years without cigarettes.
This would work better than cancer warnings on cigarette packs.
quit 30 years now. quit because it was killing me. other corps are still trying.
Honestly, smoke all you want as long as you don’t drink
I do both! Wooohoooo!
Just one nail of many in my mom’s coffin
It was the primary nail in my mother’s coffin and her mother’s coffin too.
Knowing that addictive tendencies are hereditary, I hope you are OK & continue to be OK.
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 never smoked, but had to hang out with smokers outside the office building at my first job, if I wanted a bit of break and chat with colleagues. I usually brought a glass of water with me.
Happy that this is not the case anymore.
Who cares at this point no one has free health care so no longer a burden in the golden age of bare foot and pregnant. Smoke cigs. They are awsome.
sorry, i couldn’t hear you over the sound of my free healthcare
You must be American
Yes. We are American. We’re destined to die from a gun. Who’s got time to be afraid of a plant? What is a healthcare?
I have free healthcare
Joke is on you - I only smoke in elementary schools, so my house is practically tar-free. Now what, science man?
Holy pearl clutching.
Lemmy can be so stereotypically “well actually” annoying. Any light-hearted whatever topic will be filled with douchenoozles pearl clutching.

Tell me about it! I had to accept that part of quitting involved forever missing something, but knowing I’m better off without it.
That feeling will disappear eventually. I rarely even think about it even when I see smokers now. If I’m out drinking though that’s a different story…
Still waiting on eventually. Haven’t smoked in over 10 years. Every now and then when I see them at the gas station I start craving them
I yearn for that strength. I’m sure I’ll quit one day
You can do it! My advice is to take it one day at a time and remember that nicotine cravings go away after about 10 minutes.
How I feel about my (soon to be ex-) wife…
How do you smoke a kid? And what do they taste like?

They don’t stay still long enough to roll properly.
How do you even have papers big enough
Question: did memes like this help?
Asking because I do street cleaning work in my neighborhood. And assholes keep throwing cigarette butts right on the ground.
I’d love to find a solution to have them quit smoking, which will lead to less cigarette butts.

I agree with @RedditIsDeddit , it does not help. It may even make things worse. All this meme does is make me feel misunderstood and despised by others (While some of them don’t even understand what I actually go through). Tobacco is a terrible addiction. I quited for two years but fell again when I broke up with my ex. During those two years I dreamt of smoking at least once a week and gained 15kg. I grew up in France in the 90s and then the country did a pretty shitty job protecting kids (I started buying cigarettes for myself at 14 and it was easy because the tobacco shop owner didn’t bat an eye). I think the solution is prevention and children’s protection (by preventing access) to ensure that they don’t start. For those who already smoke the best is kind support not guilt and disdain. (And total bans don’t help either, we just feel left out when the government who now bans us from every place and treats us like awful weak-willed bastards initially incitated us to smoke two decades ago with adds and easy access).
I smoked from the time I was 15, until I was 33. I got a prescription for something called Chantix that worked really well for me to quit permanently.
It worked well for a few people I knew, but one guy said it made him really depressed / suicidal.
Chantix isn’t available anymore because of something that was in it that might cause cancer, but there’s a generic form of it called varenicline that may or may not be available in your country. Ask your doctor maybe if there’s a pill that will help you quit.
Yeah, this worked well for me, too. The generic one you mention also had less side effects for me. There’s still the vivid dreams / nightmares, but less intense.
From Chantix /Champix I recollect the spider dreams and floor crumbling beneath me.
But hey, anything to quit smoking.
This reads like a Pharma advert.
I’ve read last week that tobacco is radium rich and decomposes to polonium and radon - cigarettes are radioactive and it contributes to its nasty effects on the lungs
Bonus!!
So, smoking could make me a superhero?
Yes, like Marlboro Man!
Working my snow covered land with my trusty steed and a soft pack of Marlboro Reds in my pocket, living the dream.

This seems to ignore the important facts that smoking is A.) Cool and B.) Sexy.
C) good social activity
I remember people talking about how the other smokers at work were all the cool people. And like, yeah, you spend several minutes several times a day hanging out outside with them, with no work and nothing to do but shoot the shit. Of course you like them better, you spend way more time with them.
Also you can all bond over your common terrible life choices, what’s not to like?
Actually true, in a myriad of bad effects.
It also makes you hot and famous.
