@jokerman My mother useta give me a quarter and have me walk to the store and buy one pack of Chesterfields to bring back. I would be able to keep the two pennies that would be inside the cellophane wrapper.

One time, both of them were steels.

@Gray Wolf Use it all to buy junk silver US coins. You are under the $10K no-tell limit.

@SubGirl -- Yeah, it is a fucking certainty you'll quit "one day". <-- That is guaranteed. Would you like to quit before you talk by putting a microphone against your throat?

That hole is really disgusting to folks, so you will not be able to talk to ANYONE without having them recoil in horror. I've seen it.

The back of your mouth could get... "red patches called erythroplakias. These are rare, isolated, velvety patches in the mouth and/or throat that typically show up in older patients." Check now in the mirror. That is another kind of benefit from cigarettes.

Or you could keep smoking cigarettes just like this lady shown below. Wait 'til you see her cough her chronic cough. Funny as hell. She has to carry a cloth at all times, everywhere.

Nobody notices, and she is welcomed everywhere. Of course, her husband cringes a lot as she clears her throat at the dinner table...

It is really worth it to keep smoking -- nobody will notice the hole, and your quality of life will be enhanced upward by each and every cigarette you smoke from today on.

No need for you to go through the absolute misery-hell of quitting cigarette smoking. Nobody can do that.

And no fucking excuse to light up another one, is there. Look at that woman's eyes, and ask her if she would trade places with you as you are right now. YOU still have a way to safety.

Ask her what she would give up to reset to where @SubGirl is right now.

The next cigarette you light up. Do it KNOWING what you are doing. Light right up; and be aware as you light up how rewarding that cigarette is. Yummy. Worth it.

I cannot get off this until I pound it into reality and not some distant, unlikely, not-too-bad finality.

One last thing as a doctor's daddy:

Before you light your next cigarette, look up what a breathing stoma is, and check to make sure your next cigarette is worth having a breathing stoma strapped on so you can sleep.

Enjoy the cigarette and ignore the above. Nothing will happen.

Me too, and some that died of lung cancer in their twenties! Life's a crapshoot, no?

I was care giver for one of my best friends, who had severe emphysema from smoking, but actually died of a brain tumor at age 70. He got out of breath walking across the room and emphysema didn't look like a fun way to exit.

While we are focused on cigarette smoking, smoking cannabis also produces the same hot gases and some of the same carcinogens. I'm a former cigarette, cigar, pipe smoker, but not for years and my lungs were fine when I quit.

I didn't however quit cannabis in joints and pipes, and I now cough badly if I smoke them and have mild bronchitis. I can blame in on nothing other than my cannabis smoking and am now looking for ways to minimize the pathway irritation.

I would just give up my lungs as a pathway, except I don't get the same effects from other pathways and am kicking and scratching resisting giving it up.

Me too 😞 That’s why I’m looking into vaping more these days. I can’t vape cigs only give them up but cannabis is another story. Will try to hang on as long as I can also kicking and scratching the whole way…

After you get out of the hospital and get back to normal, I got an idea about AI technology here on ICM that's going to make you some _money_, just like Reddit is doing.
are you thinking along the lines of building a S(mall)LM based on all the posts on this website? i am looking into this to try to get control of 25+ years of data on my inhouse PC network.

Vaporizers will set you free.........and get you higher.
I make gummys everybody says their good but they don't effect me.

I did cop a pretty good buzz off of a vape last night, not as handy as a bowl but I don't cough as much.

Sometimes you have to give up this for that or vice versa.
Excellent news..........there are much better vapes available.
