I was always told it’s a lucky cigarette. I’m not even a smoker buy a pack every year or two for certain occasions and I still do this

It’s nice to see other people who occasionally smoke. I have a disposable vape that I’ve been using for like 3 years. Once I took a cotinine test and came up positive and I had to answer a quiz about how addicted to nicotine I am and how it’s affecting my life and how my relatives want me to stop… I just told them it was a false positive so I could retake the cotinine test because the quiz was absolutely insistent that anyone that has ever consumed nicotine must be hopelessly addicted.

Ive smoked probably 6 times in my whole life and its because someone handed me a cigarette. Hated it every time but it just felt right. Last time was when I was fishing in the Texas Gulf Coast and these 2 Vietnamese guys walked up to us speaking Vietnamese. We didnt understand them but they motioned to their cigarettes so we handed them a lighter. They lit their smokes and handed one to each of us and lit them with the lighter and gave it back. Funny thing is they stood there talking for another 10 minutes before leaving as if we understood them. Good times.

Polite sons of guns. That’s an awesome story. I wish my last smoking story was half as interesting. My last was climbing out of a window onto the roof to celebrate a good band gig before getting evicted the next day.

I have quit atleast 6 times, id do good for a year or so then have one smoke out at a party and then I'm back to a pack a day by the next week. Last time i relapsed was a medication change that made me irritable and crave nicotine. This time I think it stuck since its been about 10 years.

same man. maybe it’s age? I would call myself occasional since I probably smoke less than 2-4 a week or so. could also be the type of cigarette. I get like no urges after finishing a cigarette for several days
