they said, while rolling E and smoking weed and drinking borgs :D
Drinking borgs?
Isn't that what they call them? I'm not 20 anymore so I'm not as hip.
this is probably a place that associates "borg" with the "resistance is futile" quote more than anything else
Pffft these kids would die if they drank rocket fuel aka pour all the hard liquor you have into one horrific drink and skull it down.
I didn't know about this, and I probably would have been better off without it. Thank you, though :)
Tobacco is one of the worst drugs ever. The best part is staving off the effects of addiction.
I’m so happy that I’m on 10 years without cigarettes.
Ive seen people quit oxy easier then cigarettes
But if you smoke, you don't notice other smokers smelling like shit, which is nice.
Guess I should stop showering
I don't think people smoke because they feel like shit doing so, quite the opposite imo
It's like the inverse of running. Running feels like trash in the moment, but great after
I stopped smoking a while ago now.. but boy do I miss it sometimes lol.
Don't smoke kids.
Question: did memes like this help?
Asking because I do street cleaning work in my neighborhood. And assholes keep throwing cigarette butts right on the ground.
I'd love to find a solution to have them quit smoking, which will lead to less cigarette butts.
I agree with @RedditIsDeddit , it does not help. It may even make things worse. All this meme does is make me feel misunderstood and despised by others (While some of them don't even understand what I actually go through). Tobacco is a terrible addiction. I quited for two years but fell again when I broke up with my ex. During those two years I dreamt of smoking at least once a week and gained 15kg. I grew up in France in the 90s and then the country did a pretty shitty job protecting kids (I started buying cigarettes for myself at 14 and it was easy because the tobacco shop owner didn't bat an eye). I think the solution is prevention and children's protection (by preventing access) to ensure that they don't start. For those who already smoke the best is kind support not guilt and disdain. (And total bans don't help either, we just feel left out when the government who now bans us from every place and treats us like awful weak-willed bastards initially incitated us to smoke two decades ago with adds and easy access).
No. Having others say something you already know as a addict of a substance doesn't help at all. We know we should stop. We all know that. The challenge of an addict is being willing to stop, and then being successful at stopping. Then abstinence.
When I was a smoker, I watch my grandmother die from smoking related lung cancer right in front of my face, it didn't change a thing. I'd go outside of the hospital and smoke all the same. I had to want to quit.
How do you smoke a kid? And what do they taste like?
They taste like unicorns
They don't stay still long enough to roll properly.
How do you even have papers big enough
Tell me about it! I had to accept that part of quitting involved forever missing something, but knowing I'm better off without it.
That feeling will disappear eventually. I rarely even think about it even when I see smokers now. If I'm out drinking though that's a different story...
Still waiting on eventually. Haven't smoked in over 10 years. Every now and then when I see them at the gas station I start craving them
How I feel about my (soon to be ex-) wife...
I yearn for that strength. I'm sure I'll quit one day
You can do it! My advice is to take it one day at a time and remember that nicotine cravings go away after about 10 minutes.
Yes, smoking takes years off your life.
But they're the years at the end....
Man if only that was true. A neighbor across the street is a chain smoker, and I hear him hack up a lung every morning for a couple of hours.
Yeah smoking will make you live shorter, but it'll also reaaaally fuckin' ruin your life leading up to that.
That's the joke.
