Still trying to think up a good replacement for this...
- sbilstein 7y agoIf you are trying to quit, which it sounds like you are not, you have to unlearn this aspect of smoking. Obviously as a smoker, I loved doing that! It's just not good for your health or happiness. I was especially worried whenever I was going back to the bar/restaurant/office wondering if I smell too much like cigarettes
- girvo 7y ago> I was especially worried whenever I was going back to the bar/restaurant/office wondering if I smell too much like cigarettes As someone who quit cigarettes 5 years ago, but still chews 2mg gum (12 of them per day, about), you did for sure heh. Wasn't until I stopped smoking that I realised how bad it smelled. Also how good food tastes when I could taste stuff properly again!
- dilap 7y agoI agree -- on balance, smoking is not worth it, at least not regularly. So I basically never smoke cigarettes anymore, and Juul only occasionally. Still, I miss it...
- RhodesianHunter 7y agoThose of us who don't smoke still find ways to socialize and meet people. Usually around a totally different drug (alcohol).
- dasKrokodil 7y agoAt my previous job, I simply went out with the smokers sometimes, to get some, uh, 'fresh air'. Didn't really get any fresh air that way, but I did socialize with them just fine and it wasn't as weird as it might sound.
