I miss just people smoking in various TV dramas, we're so goddamn righteous in this country it seems to hardly ever feature, foreign dramas don't seem to shy away from it. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to encourage smoking I gave up about a decade ago but we just seem hellbent on banishing it from society here.

If you stand over the toilet and pour the water on you, you can have a shower and flush the loo at the same time. The hero we need but don't deserve.

I'm a non-smoker and hate the smell and taste, but I have to admit some people smoking look cool.
Not everyone, some look trashy and fucking awful.
Maybe that's just people in general whether they smoke or not.

I can't stand smoking (or even vaping), but yeah it can be a cool look on some people. Russian Doll is a hell of a series if you like seeing characters smoking.
Smoking indoors is just minging. My missus left a bag of clothes at her parents overnight and they fucking reek. Can't even be in the same room as them and will have to waste my time washing them as the smell doesn't bother her as much.

Some smokers look cool, like Bowie on the cover of Young Americans. Most just look like June Brown.
Actually she looks pretty cool...
Most just look like Frank Gallagher from Shameless. That's a better example.

But yeah, the stench on your clothes after being in a pub full of smokers was disgusting. Really, really obnoxious. Had a few hangovers waking up in, or next to, clothes riddled with second hand smoke and it *really didn't help with the hangover*

Yes yes all that shit is bad. The health aspect, the money, the smell etc etc. I still fucking miss it dammit.
I miss just going out for one when I'm feeling shit. I miss having one outside at large gatherings to offset my anxieties. I miss having one at work when you would always get better banter out in the smoking area. I miss starting the day with one alongside a black coffee. I bloody miss it.
I've got a party on Saturday night. A joint Halloween and birthday thing with friends of the Mrs. I'm not drinking and I'm not smoking (The former recently, the latter for over a decade). What the fuck am I going to talk to people about.

Addiction innit. Shit sucks. You could talk about that wonderful Elden Ring book that should be arriving shortly... Works for Halloween, at least

That's the thing. I was never addicted. I just liked it. I was never even a heavy smoker, and I gave up in a heartbeat. Could go weeks at a time without it. Just genuinely enjoyed it, and it helped at the aforementioned times.

I always chuckle when they show something pre 1980's with someone lighting up on a plane or in an office. Seems so alien in comparison to travel these days.
I think cars and offices would be worse, modern jets/planes had/have good filtration, unless you are in the smoking section.
If you want to shave a few years off your life try a smoking "lounge" in a transit area of an airport. Fucking awful, a glass cubicle that contains a decade of condensed fumes.

Smoking is great. If they could come up with a cancer free version that tasted just as delicious (vaping doesn't count as it makes you look like a twat) I'd be back on them in a heartbeat. Even if it was just to annoy queefs whinging about the smell.

I miss smoking in a weird wayy, it was a big part of my life and how I lived during that period. But like most people I just can't stand to be in someone else's smoke cloud nowadays it is just so vile and some smokers' breath is just acrid it makes you sick. I don't miss all the crap that goes with it, the stinking clothes, the smelly house and goodness knows what else. How anyone can afford to smoke conventional cigarettes these days is a mystery, rollups still seem pretty cheap I think? But I do think it adds something to certain TV series/films etc. Except when they're British made. Kids are all vaping these days, had a share of that in our household already with the eldest.

Nah, the smell is disgusting, of you like smelling awful that's your choice I guess.
If that makes me a queef fine, at least I don't smell fucking rancid.

I do really cringe now that I recall all of those people who must have had to endure my secondhand smoke. But then they do say ex-smokers are the worst.

Yeah can't stand vaping. As for smoking, well, all I can say was I was one of the good ones. Never smoked near people unless they too were smoking. Never smoked indoors (after they banned it in pubs at least) or vehicles. Even outside I wouldn't just walk about near cunts and breathe all over them. I was a good smoker. The best kind.
I need to shut up. I really want one now.

I never smoked, but I often chose to sit in the smoking carriages on East Coast Main Line trains back when they were a thing, in order to avoid screaming children. A foolproof plan!

Oof, tough choice, breathing in secondhand smoke and sinking to high heaven or screaming annoying kids.
