I was a smoker for around 29 years

Started again last year for a few weeks during a very bad court case with my ex abuser

The pain in my chest one day was so bad I could barely move
I stopped immediately

Amazed by how sick I felt after a few a day

Sorry OP just wanted to add my experience

God I miss smoking 😂

They do those 'click' cigarettes now, with the menthol in a capsule near the filter. You break the capsule by pressing on it.

I've smoked 40 a day for 51 years Blush I got a COPD diagnosis last year, but am still okay apart from the disgusting cough. I've now cut down to ... 30 a day. And of course I stink!

I mostly smoke roll-ups these days, not because they're (very slightly) healthier, but they work out around a third of the price.

Just want to travel back 30 years in time and buy 1000 packets of 20 for £3.50 each.

Hard agree!!!

No judgement for me but really think about this. You know it's shit but the money! What if you get hooked again?
It's a fortune.
Can you use the money you're saving towards something that'll make you feel good?

We all know how bad smoking is for you - but Consulate were the dogs bollocks when I was at school! strolling along the canal bank at lunch break with a Consulate was brilliant- I miss menthol fags. Sad

But vaping stinks too and is just as nearly as bad as smoking 😶

Not sure why you’re even on this post, seems like an odd contribution

Hope you’re alright OP

Cigarette smoke smells filthy, at least vaping is nowhere as bad.
As for being nearly as bad for you… educate yourself 😂

My driving instructor used to give me Consulates. He was a proper gent.

<sigh>

If I ever know I'm going to pop it, Silk Cut and Consulates will be my swan song. Maybe coke and heroin.

I used to like rolling my own. I know it looks crap and cheap but I rolled the bloody best cigarettes and just couldn't get better from a Taylor made.

God I miss smoking

What a way to go!

I would demand a ready supply of Marlboro menthol and lots of old style weed.

I would spend my last days rolling neat and beautiful joints, eating toast and marmite, drinking tea and watching daytime tv. And eating Guerlain seashell chocolates.

There’s really no alternative for you to deal with stress? Not sure how something so expensive and bad for your health is going to help you long-term.

Ollifer · 07/05/2023 09:26

Hope you're okay op. Ignore anyone on here judging. She wants a fag ffs she's not talking about injecting heroin 🙄

I do miss smoking now, I used to love roll ups with a menthol filter. I do use a menthol zero nicotine vape now occasionally if I get the urge. For actual cigarettes that aren't roll ups I wouldn't have a clue now - I used to like those Lambert and butler menthol ones !!!

I have in the years since quitting had the occasional one, once during a period of intense shock/bereavement and another two nights out i think.
