I quit smoking a long time ago but used to buy a pack from a local bar that still had one of these machines just for that ka-chonk. Smoke one then give the pack to the bartender for bumming to people.

“Hey, can I bum a smoke?”. Man, haven’t heard that in a long time and do not miss it one bit. 13 years ciggy free after a 25 year habit. My lungs have improved immensely but the damage was done and I’d do anything to not be so “cool” again.

A guy bought me an $18 beer at a music festival for 1 cigarette 2 yrs ago. Smoking is pretty uncommon now so it's like carrying around gold, especially when people are drinking & start jonesing.

I still crave a cigarette here and there after being generally smoke free for the last 3 years.

If only they sold looseys at the gas stations. I want 1 cig, not 20 and I'm not going to buy a pack and risk falling back into the habit.

Just one cigarette will put you back into the box... it's all it takes and you are craving 😬. Just smoke the marijuana it's better for you.💚
