I miss smoking. Too bad we never can again.

Sure you can. Nothing has changed with it from then to now. It’s just whatever risk you’re willing to accept. Some people smoke until they are dead at 95yo, some get cancer and die at 40.

It took a lot to finally quit. I don’t want to go through that again. First off I gained 12 pounds immediately and THAT took ages to lose.

I smoked from 14-45. That was enough.

Yeah. I also gave that up ages ago. Not because I’m some douchey dick who is above it, I just don’t think it tastes good anymore. When you quit it? It really tastes bad if you get some.

I only like my own food anymore. I think having Covid also changed my ability to smell and my taste buds. I always taste the packaging and the rancid grease on restaurant food now.

Same lol we’ll you still can, they haven’t taken it totally away from us. But Never say never lol back then it was crazy to think of not smoking in bars and restaurants. Who knows how things will be in another 30 years or so.

I can totally see smoking coming back in style as a finger to societal norms of not smoking. The pendulum always swings.

$10 a pack. That’s cute.

A pack of 50s will cost over $50 in Australia

Well yes. I am remarkably cute.

I don’t live in Australia. In the part of the world I reside in they are 10 dollars with tax.

I don’t know. I barely think of my old habit anymore.

I’ve always thought this too. People forget there was a lot of smoking bans in the early 1900s. Look what happened after WW1.
