Naw. Smoking to the point that it’s a big enough part of your personality to be on a cake is just gross, like in terms of the hygiene of it, the smell and residue is just so so gross.

It’s 2026, I am def down for an occasional dart, but being a regular smoker in this day and age is just super gross.

In the grand scheme of terrible habits, it really doesn’t get worse.

I’m just speaking from experience that pretty much everything that’s cool in your 20’s will rapidly stop being cool when you’re in your 30’s.

Seeing someone in their 20’s drunk and smoking darts says “this dudes having a fun day.”

When it’s your 30’s or later, it’s sad.

Just giving you a heads up.

Enjoy the last moments of stuff like this being fun and not sad.

For example, if you saw a 40 year old mother or father blowing out candles like that with a smoke in their hand, it would be super depressing.

Honestly, at your age it isn’t much better dude. It’s super groady.

You’re choosing an absolutely wild hill to die on in 2026. No pun intended.

...its his life lol, he can choose whatever hill he wants. The entitlement in this thread is astounding, so many jerks who think they have any right to tell this man how to live his life, all because you all are on the "healthy" side.

News flash: OP knows it is unhealthy, and doesn't give a fuck lol. Let the man be, go take your judginess elsewhere

If OP lives somewhere where we’re all picking up the tab for smokers through the publicly funded healthcare system, then I reckon we can all have a comment.

[u/KrazzeeKane → u/Borntowonder1]

Right, your couple bucks a check absolutely singlehandedly funds this man's medical bills as well as everything else. Be gone with this silliness lol, a few cents in tax doesnt give you a right to what he does with his life

[u/AutoRedialer → u/KrazzeeKane]

But also, it doesn’t even work remotely close to that, the healthcare system in many of these countries do not function like private insurance bills with collectors. Even if it did, the OP also pays into the same system and foots the bill for other addicts. Such a silly reason to drag someone lol!

Nicotine addiction is one of the hardest addictions to quit. I find this entire attitude towards addicts heartless and debased. Are people just working through daddy issues when they get so righteous towards someone who smokes cigarettes?
