It's an accepted "truth" that women don't like guys who smoke. Being a smoker, this hits home. It's an expensive habit, it's a dirty habit, it's a stupid habit. Almost $5 a pack in Cali.
Recently I went to a Laker's game, during half-time we were out on the patio and I saw a TON of good looking guys who probably have game, puffing away, and the girls with them puffing away too. So clearly smoking does not necessarily mean girls will be turned off, and it doesn't mean guys who smoke can't get chicks. A little confusing. And my buddies were smoking with me, and they are not smokers. They only smoke when they are out socially.
So.... who here has gone from a regular smoker to a social smoker? Or have you quit completely? I find myself throwing them in the trash, throwing my lighters away. I've changed brands, I switched to Camel Wides because I thought it would give me a bigger hit but would need less frequency. I am wondering if there is success in tapering off, or if you have to go cold turkey.
I've stopped smoking in my car, and during the day. I haven't smoked in front of co-workers for almost two years. Most people at work think I have probably quit. But that just means I'll smoke twice as much in the evenings.
I have been smoking half my life. I am so used to it. But it's a stupid thing to do, and it's tough to kick.
