43 years without a cigarette. But I could still relapse after a couple puffs, I fear.
What made me happy today?
- Thread starter big soft moose
- Start date
I watched a lot of people recover from "hard drugs" who couldn't quit smoking tobacco. One guy in particular claimed tobacco was innocuous compared to heroin and cocaine. He died of lung cancer at 45. I never smoked a cigarette in my life, but when I think of all the second hand smoke I endured sitting through those meetings...
I've never smoked anything in my life, but I'll have dreams now and then where I'll wake up and my whole body wants a cigarette. Not a pretty one, either. One that'll burn me from the inside out.
I've yet to achieve that dream, and it's one I'll let be unrealized.
What's making me happy at the moment? Doritos. Nacho cheese flavor. And I've got my list plotted for shopping for the kids I'm sponsoring this year for Christmas. Gonna fill a cart after work.
Yes. I think we can call that the "Smoker's Syllogism":
1. I want to smoke tobacco, but not heroine or cocaine.
2. Tobacco is safer to smoke than heroin and cocaine.
3. Therefore, tobacco is just fine to smoke.
Obviously this is a fallacy. It can also be used to justify drinking loads and loads of vodka, because vodka is safer to drink than, say, antifreeze. Or hydrochloric acid.
I've never smoked either. When I was three, I watched one my grandfathers die of smoking-related lung cancer. When I was ten, one of my uncles died of the same. That gave me a very strong motive not to start.
When I see the concept of smoking heroine I don't think of cigarettes or tobacco. Reminds me of that old joke, "Q. Do you smoke after sex? A. I dunno, I never looked."
Must have Rath's smoking heroine imagery, but I just finished a Scrabble game (which I won) by using, inter alia, "whore" and "slut." I'll take it.
Don't worry, you'll be able to call yourself a non-smoker soon.
Buproprion coming on Thursday. It makes you not want to smoke. No. Effing. Way. I will eat my hat if a pill makes me not want to smoke.
I recommend some fava beans and a nice chianti to go along with it.
I would posit that my programming would accommodate the cannibal persona more comfortably than that of a non-smoker. Except Chianti is overrated. All Toscanas for that matter. Give me Piedmont all day.
Whoops. Did I say "smoke heroine"? I meant "heroin", of course.
Now, when I look at the words "smoking heroine", I have the bizarre mental image of the villain capturing the heroine and threatening to smoke her over a fire, like a giant ham.
Galloping Gizzards, Batman! How will she get out of this predicament? Join us again next time, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!
I was trying to figure out how to use her as a hookah/bong without lasting damage...Whoops. Did I say "smoke heroine"? I meant "heroin", of course.

Baked some snickerdoodles today and they turned out fantastic!
All right, but even if that's true, how would it be baked?
The only reason to bake one of those would be to give it psychedelic drugs.
Please don't give psychedelic drugs to dogs. Poor doggies!
*gathers up the poor snickerdoodles and hugs them protectively*
Been there, done that. Want my advice? Run! Run and don't look back, lol.
