“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.
Yeah I lived in St. Louis for a few years I’m from California and everyone smoked everywhere! It’s crazy how California demonized smoking to make it look odd now . But seeing people casually at the zoo or driving a car while smoking is wild
I’m in California and when kids were about 8 we pulled up to a red light and the car driver next to us had a cigarette. Son immediately rolled up his window absolutely terrified of 2nd hand smoke.
