Memorable cigarette conversations
-
2019-03-12 at 9:15 PM UTCI didn’t like smelling like it (minimized with American Spirits) but I was never addicted. When I think about the years I smoked cigarettes, I have fond memories of conversations with people I met and bonded with, even if it was only because we shared in a bad decision.
Everyone has their own story about when they started and why they continue to do it, that tells you something about who they are and why they make the choices they choose. You can discover all sorts of different perspectives just by stepping out for a smoke.
Once I bummed one to a liserd-looking fellow I quickly realized was experiencing a manic episode. I learned that he’d been living at a nearby halfway house, but that he’d left the day before and didn’t plan on returning. He told me that he planned to open a series of nightclubs in Chicago, and by the time I took my final drag, he had decided that I was going to manage these clubs for him. I was flattered, and told him I’d consider it but that I had to go.
I walked away, but he followed and we walked around the city all night discussing more of his wild plans, including other business ventures, organized crime, and political aspirations. He asked me for just about every drug under the sun, but I didn’t have any at the time. I couldn’t shake him off until we walked into a gas station to buy more cigarettes. He locked the attendant in a similar dialogue and I slipped out the door, never to see him again.
This was easily one of the most unusual encounters I’ve had with anybody.

lol what a pussy, you couldn't of just of told him "later bud i need to go home" or whatever you needed/wanted to do?
anyways, i started smoking cigs when i was 14, quit when i was 20. I would have an ocassional one after that but cigs are such a farce. last year around this time my gf would smoke camel crush's and one night out of the blue when i was krunk sitting outside waiting for her I asked her for one and started smoking again, but I've quit again.
cigs i guess are like the cherry on top of drugs / alochol but I went years w out smoking so it seems kinda pointless.
american spirits are very stankay don't let the big tabacco and kock bros full you into thinking otherwise.
almost everyone I know in my hood smokes those and they are all sickly and keep talking about quitting (but at least it doesnt have the additives) which is totally false.
you act like cigs are like being on a meth bender / being drunk.

2019-03-12 at 11:21 PM UTCyea smokings kinda dumb. i smoked when i was in highschool for like 3 years and quit and it wasnt that hard, then again for like a year recently and it was harder to quit but after 3 or 4 weeks i feel totally normal without it just way healthier.
idk if i have any interesting cig stories. once i met up with this homeless black dude to go get heroin and he insisted that i smoke meth with him first. i didn't really want to but he really wanted me to so i was like eh fuck it and smoked a bowl with him ducking down in some alley in the hood. actually i have a lot of weird cold copping stories but it kinda comes with the territory -
