Our society has been in a downturn ever since the weenies and pearl clutchers didn't want to smell it anymore.
I have fond memories of going into restaurants and smelling that sweet aroma. Restaurants would hand out matchbooks, they were like the pokemon of the preinternet times. Slowly the commies segregated us and eventually we were pushed out. Now the entire world is in tatters. This nation and the western world as we know it was built on this leafy green. The revolutionary war was fought over this plant, civilizations were built, and continents were colonized by it. The United States won two world wars with this crop, and 12 men landed on the moon fueled by its gifts. It is an established fact that no man has landed on the moon and no US wars have been won since people stopped smoking, and yet every day our society falls further into chaos. If we have any chance of pulling out of this dive we need to start smoking again. Thank you for listening to my presentation. @RustedAce |

My dad would agree, had he not died 35 years ago from lung cancer. With a half inch diameter tube coming out of the side of his chest to drain fluid so he could breath for a couple more days.

I quit smoking about 4 or 5 yrs ago but I gotta say I miss the smell of a lit cigarette. Just love the smell on the rare chance now I come across someone actually smoking in the wild. There's a meme that society started going down the shitter when we stopped smoking Marlboro Reds and started vaping strawberry cheesecake.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Burnsy: I haven't seen a mechanic in a car dealership smoking in a long time. They have no smoking signs all over the place. They might do it on their own time but if a customer found a mechanic smoking or chewing in their car, they are going to lose their minds. Probably cuz they are chewing in your car. Funny fact the salesmen actually smoke more than the techs at my work. The techs are more likely to chew. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Burnsy: I have no doubt that some of them do smoke or chew. Every dealer I have been in has been non smoking for a long time with signs all over, including the service area. They aren't smoking in the service area, while they are working on people's $40,000 cars. If they are chewing in them, they are doing it on the DL and if they are caught by a customer, it's going to be a problem. Unless they spit in your cupholder its not going to be a problem i promise you. but we're getting away from the intent of the thread. The management understands that the service department runs on nicotine. you can write a mean survey but they arent gonna do shit about it. |

I was just thinking this the other day. We traded smoking for wimpy, non risk taking fat people. I quit a little while back b/c it messed up my lung function, but having a smoke is something you could just sit back and enjoy any time, people have traded eating some crap as a substitute for smoking as something they could just take a break and enjoy. Its a lousy substitute. And that it was the libs that pushed no smoking it tells you they knew it was shitty for modern society, there isnt anything they push that benefits it.

There's literally noone to replace them if they fire them because we've trained our children if they dont have a college degree they cant be successful so they all work for starbucks now. Caffeine has replaced nicotine and its a shitty substitute. Also your dash cam gets unplugged at the door. |

Remember Camel Crushes? There was a little bead in the filter you could crush to turn the cigarette from regular to menthol

Almost every job I've worked at, from the military, to construction, tree removal, sawmill, or auto repair, was pretty much run by nicotine. I carry zyn on me at my current job, and more than half of my coworkers chew, vape, or smoke.
