It's been well over 10 years since I quit but fuck me I miss the fags. I don't miss the poverty and the stench but I miss the 5 fucking minutes to myself. I miss the time out. I miss the decompress.

I'm not going to start again but...

AIBU to just miss smoking?

I quit 17 years ago and haven't had as much as a puff but if there was to be a healthy non stinky cigarette I'd be right back on them.

There is, it's called vaping!

Four years to the very day for me. The day I suddenly found out I had cancer. I have a deal going with God. If he lets both my children outlive me I will never smoke again. But yes I miss it every single day.

Are you saying vaping is healthy?

Seriously try meditation via the Headspace app. So much better than smoking in every way (I smoked 20 a day for 10 years)

Yep that first fag in a morning. I use to get a little happy feeling and it would be thinking about having a fag. Also use to love one after eating. There are so relaxing. 13 years now though, il never have another.

Vaping is definitely not a healthy way to smoke. Also I think it's missing a lot of the things I miss about the fags. The 5 minutes out, the wee chat outside the pub when you bummed a light...

Plus, vaping is aimed at kids. I'm not smoking anything called watermelon raspberry crush!

I'm glad I started this thread. It's made me realise it's youth I miss more than fags.
