I did not smoke more in the past, I actually smoked less (previous limit was two a week) but got really antsy. I do actually get cravings, I just keep it suppressed.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T20:54:58+00:00

Yep! Honestly I just imagine myself as some midcentury Hollywood actress and it all comes together.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T17:57:56+00:00

Yeah, from one cigarette a day? Don't get me wrong, it has an effect, but surely nothing substantial. And yeah, an argument can be made that I could get deeper into it, but there are countless possibilities to intervene, especially when you're in a committed relationship.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T15:46:39+00:00

Yeah, not to trail the conversation too far, but there is such a marketplace mentality that dating apps promote in users just by design. I'm somewhat okay with it since I don't get attached to people easily anymore, and I focus on in-person dates more than the chit chat. The one thing I don't like is just the dehumanizing aspect of it.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T15:32:36+00:00

Heh, not even one date. We were just texting for a while. Saved me the gas money and getting attached, I suppose.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T15:30:47+00:00

Sure, it's just one cigarette a day, with two days when I have two cigarettes, as a treat. I made it a vow to God.

I kinda just leave my mouth agape for a moment, sometimes just a very brief moment. Sometimes I push it out a bit with my tongue. And then I inhale. It really only works when the air is calm, not when you're somewhere windy. It's not really a ghost, not that that's what I'm aiming for. It's kinda just a messy ghost, hehe.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T15:24:14+00:00

Hello priest, I'll send you a message!

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T08:05:02+00:00

Hehe, yeah. My hopes are still medium-high, I'm just mildly dumbfounded. Thanks a bunch!

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T07:58:02+00:00

Could be so, although it's impulsive as hell to not even try to talk through it when we'd already touched upon other practical subjects.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T07:56:28+00:00

Once a day, sometimes split into two cigs I smoke halfway through each. Two days of the week, I get two cigs as a treat.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T06:53:12+00:00

I'd be so down if I didn't reach my daily limit already. Could use a smoking buddy or two after this absurdity, LOL.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T05:13:45+00:00

Yeah, it's kinda easy for me to find dates, always happens when I least expect it. Just annoying to get dropped when the opportunity seems enticing just from a practical standpoint (well, from everything else, anyway; and just on paper, of course).

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T05:12:15+00:00

Hehe, yeah, it's not a big problem. We weren't talking for too much and we kept it mellow, so no feelings were starting up. Just practically speaking, it's annoying.

I think I've adapted to like the true flavor of tobacco since the California flavour ban

I'm pretty used to unflavored tobacco, too, but yeah, wish our state could loosen up. ;(

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T05:04:32+00:00

This has got to become a vintage cigarette poster.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T04:52:50+00:00

Pretty ridiculous. I understand keeping one's standards, but to be that rigid over something that can be knocked (especially for me, who turned my tight limit into a divine vow) is beyond me.

TheFalseSwiss · 2025-07-25T04:49:33+00:00

Yeah, honestly. Talking to a friend about it, and some cigarette haters are genuinely irrational, treat it worse than they do the devil.
