Not to jump on the smoking hate train - I get it, smoking is very pleasurable and insanely addictive - but have you thought about just smoking outside?
I would never smoke in a room I spend any time in. It's a funny mindset, as I used to smoke inside in my 20s, but when the ban in bars came along it just sort of became second nature.
These days I rarely smoke, but vape more than I should. The vaping is starting to give me a dry tongue that feels like a fading pizza burn. I plan to stop... Soon....
I haven't been insulted like this in literal years. I did think of it. In fact, I would do it if it was possible.
You know what, I'll just rant at you, because I can.
I live with two other smokers in an apratment that is around 28 square meters. I can't convince them to smoke outside (I tried for years, actually decades). Me smoking outside would change nothing.
Just so you know, the two mentioned smokers are very upset to be mentioned here.
Smoke whatever you want wherever you want. Just don't assume everyone's situation is the same. I never asked for health advice, just tech advice. It is painful to read comments from all these self righeous pricks telling me how to live my life (no offense, your comment just happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back). If I want to die from lung cancer, that is my choice. If I want to smoke inside an apartment that is already considered a "hotbox" by most standards (even without me smoking inside), then you can bet your pretty face I will.
Thank you for your imput. Hope it goes well with quiting vaping. Cheers.
I promise you, your mindset is going to change. Near the time I quit I was getting constant sinus infections. Wake up every morning coughing my lungs out. I knew if I continued not only would I most likely be gone in ten years but it wasn't going to be a fun way to go suffocating. I'd miss watching my daughter grow up and walking her down the aisle. I could literally feel smoking starting to affect my health after 20 years. Vaping got me off and I feel great now.
Fair play, man. Like I say, I used to smoke indoors and it's weird that, once society in my country changed, it started to feel really strange to smoke inside.
I wouldn't be feeling insulted. Your life, your choice bud.
The insulting part was "but have you thought about..." Yes. In fact I did. I did entertain the possibility.
I'm not saying you were trying to insult me with that, but I did feel insulted. That may be a problem on my part though.
Wish you well.
Wasn't meant to be insulting. It never occurred to me until the smoking ban in my country. As this is a global platform, I didn't know if smoking was legal or not in yours. Smoking inside was normal for me growing up, but I'm nearly in my 50s.
