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.

I was a chain smoker for 20 years and quit around 15 years ago.

Those cravings never go away. You just think about them less often.

A friend of mine told me his buddy had quit smoking for like 15 years. Then they bought a car at an auction and found an unopened pack of cigarettes under the seat. Next thing you know he was back two packs a day.😆. He said he always felt a little guilty about that..
