I am not John Quiñones......

Mindful, I'm no philanthropist....

It happened at a WaWa...of course..

Get back in my car...with coffee. Sitting there adjusting it's safety, for I tend to slosh...stuff.

" Oh look! A shiny thing"!!!

I noticed this kinda older dude...reach in to this... cigarette... receptacle?

He was butt hunting. 😮

I smoke weed so I judge not cig hitters..

But dude!

So I got his attention....gave him 10$

I know first hand that addiction hears no reason.

What would you do?

Doubt if I would have gone that far but I’m not judging either. My first instinct is not to enable however the memories of my efforts to quit are still there. One of the most difficult things to do in my life; three tries over 20 years ago.

@SageWanderer I feel ya .. Once I pulled off I second guessed it. In the name of smokes? But..what ever. Maybe scored a 4 pack as well.

I smoked about 12 years ago. I remember that addiction well. Sometimes I suddenly want one. Feeling passes quickly. I remember the cost back then of a pack. Why i quit. I've also bought people cigarettes when i seen them huntimg

@Bexsy Ugh...I heard it's rough. THC isn't actually physically addictive but when I quit I cry and whine bout most everything.
Lol.

@Bexsy I can't imagine you smoking being as fitness minded as you are. You look amazing so it didn't do you harm. Packs cost like $20 now. My mom used to buy a carton for that price.

Thank you for not judging. I am on the road to quitting myself but it’s a nightmare even with patches.

@tobynshorty Only thing I judge are shoes on other women's feet..lol.

Nicotine is as rough to kick as Heroin I've heard more than once.

My father quit after 25 years. Every childhood pic with him...a cigarette.

Patches...gum... candy maybe...?

Best thing just don't give up. And don't hate when you slip.

I have faith in you. 🙏🩷

@Degbeme thanks Deg

@tobynshorty long story but they gave me the wrong patches at the drug store. I will get everything right and I will quit.

You are kind. Little efforts cost us little but can mean so much to others. We need more people like you. I buy food when I see a needy homeless person.

@Livingwell I have before...or maybe a buck or two... When it appears their options are limited. 🙂

Livingwell · 61-69, M

@Punxi I do too. I rather give them a meal by purchasing instead of handing out money so I know it is benefiting them.

My coworker that smokes says Dollar General sells really decent cigarettes for under $5 a pack, so, suggest he spend it there if you find yourself in that sitch again
