The only sad thing about people not smoking cigs anymore is you don't get the great chats that come from people asking to bum a smoke/you bumming a smoke off a stranger. Cigarette chat is easily the best part of being a smoker.
Cigarettes were an easy way to tell people "I don't give a shit about the things that you're supposed to give a shit about." When you saw someone smoking a cigarette, you knew you could talk politics or religion or any number of contentious topics with them. It didn't mean it would be a good conversation, but the invitation was always there.
Wow, I just realized I hate vaping.
Also, disposable vapes are more addictive than cigs. They give WAY more nicotine per hit. Actually used them to push through opiate withdrawal because the nicotine in those was so powerful it'd push through the withdrawal in its entirety. You can realistically only smoke 4-5 cigs a day. You can't take 4-5 hits off a vape in a dag
Are you still on the vapes? I picked up smoking again a few years back due to work stress and I made the switch pretty quickly, but I really want to just be done with these things.
I'm not. I actually went backwards, from vapes to cigarettes. If you're going to vape, pick up your own system, tank and juice. The shitty disposable vapes will make you a nic fiend like nothing else. I can't stand how bad they make the cravings. I can run out of money for smokes and go a day or two without smoking. But when I was on those disposable vapes, it was like hard drug cravings, it was so bad.
