I Quit Smoking

@kingkyri hope you stick with it, small indiscretions are not a failure as long as the overall objective is achieved. I've been tobacco free 2 years now and my hardest fight was not to become an arsehole and be a hater of those that still smoke. It's a personal choice and still legal.

@SW-User It’s amazing how smell and smoke from one’s own cigarette doesn’t bother to oneself but when there’s someone else smoking, you realised how awful it is and when you are quitting it is even harder to stand. So, I understand why old smokers are the most haters to this habit.

@twistermind Then you may be surprised: I, the former kid of two adults who smoked and back then it was the thing to do.
I mean I recall when I was little, like, kindergarten little.
We lived in a tiny quarters, in my birth country.
IT BOTHERED ME SO MUCH.

When I was in J.H., I'd hear all school sponsored lectures
and bring home pamphlets.
I'd even *steal* some packages of my parents smokes and hide them in my old red shiny rucksack.
Oh well. I really TRIED so hard to help them.

At this point in my life, I can detect smoke from 100+ Meters away:
I
DESPIZE
IT.

Also, when I inhale it at close proximity my throat closes up, it's a reflex I don't do it intentionally.

So, I am putting it out there:
The most ardent hater of smoke is ME.
