What's new

So I like to smoke inside

My buddy is a dentist, actually an oral surgeon because he does root canals, implants and can rebuild a jaw. He won’t do much of these procedures on smokers because of complications.
 
Smokers can't taste their food and salt the shit out of it, first thing my parents did was to grab the salt shaker before tasting the food.
I have an asshole family member that does this
didn't give a shit when I was a kid, windows rolled up, didn't care about your migraine it was causing
Now that I am an adult, I send his food pre-salted and the first thing that he does is slam a bunch of salt on it. He gets all butthurt when it is too salty
don't put salt on it stupid :laughing:
acts like a 70 year old toddler

15% higher rate of infection with smokers.
 
I bought a house off of professional chain smokers. They hadn't lived there for a few months and it still stunk especially when the air kicked on. i finally got the smell out, but I'll never do it again

you think you did, it will come back
I had some renters at one time that thought that if they smoked in the bathroom with the fan on it would take care of things. A year later the shit the Kilz 'sealed' in the wall started oozing out :barf:

You have to scrub the walls with TSP. I cleaned my mom's house up before it sold, she was heavy smoker indoors for years. Layers of yellow/brown goo on all the windows and walls. Fucking nasty.

I had to scrub tsp some spots 3 or 4 times. Mix the powder in warm water and scrub with a sponge. Then let walls day for a week or two and then 2 coats of Killz. The bathroom still oozed a tiny bit after a shower
 
on the subject
Smoking is disgusting, you stink, and you make everything around you stink
with that said, if it is your house, what do I care you do in there.

This. I’m judging someone hard if they smoke in the house, especially with kids. I can’t stand getting into a car with someone who smokes cigarettes in it.

I smoke outside whenever I light up a cigar or pipe. :smokin:
 
Ex-in laws smoked in the house, and it was the main meeting/ hangout point for their family. The entire family smoked except me and one aunt. They always thought I was being a snob going outside... I tried multiple times to explain what it was like to be a non- smoker in a 14x16 room with 9 people smoking. I was just one of those anti- smoker pussies and it was really no big deal.

When me and the ex were dating, they remodeled the living room. New carpet and paint. Painted the walls white. Something happened with the carpet 3 years later, and they remodel again and decide to repaint. I go over there to help and there's white squares all over the walls where the pictures were. After just 3 years the walls were tan.
 
my dad shot trap every week , when they had the quarterly meeting everyone smoked, I remember walking into the club house filled with smoke the bottom 2 feet was almost clear, you could not see across the room.

seems like mostly poor people smoke these days, not sure if they are poor cause of the price of cigarettes or life choices.

Like this. Called a smoke eater fan.
Thanks man! I'll check those out :smokin:
 
My first house was once occupied by smokers and I was the third owner in 45 years. It had been repainted, but it REEKED of smoke any time it was shut up for any length of time. One hall closet was a particular PITA. I painted it and used to have to leave the door open to air it out. All of the woodwork in the house had a thick coat of tar on it. One of the first things i did was get a bucket, a bottle of Murphy's oil soap and a rag and I hand scrubbed every door, door casing, window and trim in that house. It was disgusting. The smoke detector was a dark dark brown and got trashed. :barf:
 
I smoked for almost 32 years cumulatively, quit quite a few times for a year or so here and there and the one thing I could never stand was the smell of cigarette smoke in my house, just horrible :barf:
 
I use to smoke. It's the dumbest thing I ever did. The smartest thing I ever did is quit.

When I smoked, I never smoked in my home. It was a disgusting smell for people and we were aware of second hand smoke causing health problems in the 90's.

I lived in Vegas so yes. I smoked everywhere else. Even at work. Nobody cared. Or so it seemed. I use to smoke in my car religiously. I remember thinking, I could never quit as I enjoyed that so damn much. There were other times as well. Morning coffee, Breaks, conversations, road trips, after meals, relaxing and so on. I couldn't imagine not having that moment when it came to trying to quit. It just wasn't gong to happen.

You see, seared into my memory, my whole childhood was my grandparents, Stepfather, uncles, all their freinds, me going to the vending machine at a local A&W to get my Dad some Winston's, friends, sister, ect. , hell my grandparents had a giant bowl of leaf tobacco and papers on thier kitchen table. This shit was a right of passage. This taboo little retarded act, tolerated by everyone as the "fun people/admired" all did it and I looked up to them.

Today, you ask? I'm telling you. It's fucking stupid. STUPID! The one thing in my life I'm truly ashamed to admit I've done.

I get it though, I understand why you do it. But the emotion is facade. It's not real. Once you quit for good, all that want and desire goes away. I didn't think it would. But it does. Now I can't stand that smell anywhere . All the places it was triggering are gone. It's just a thing I did. A dumb thing.

Now as I got older, and see that everyone I knew who smoked are dead or quiting as thier health issues leave them no options. I worry every time I cough if I wated too long. I realize. I'm a lucky man. I'm lucky I chose to wake up.

It's a joke. A sick fucking joke I wish I never fell for. But you be you.

Carry on. :flipoff2:

Wife and I quit for 5 years and only started again when someone left a pack at our place. We had some drinks and a fire in back and figured we'd have one. Both of us did not enjoy it at all. Still had another the next day for whatever reason and boom. Definitely a trap.
 
My grandpa smoked camel unfiltered for my whole memory of him. 3 pots of coffee a day. Before I can remember he drove a truck and took speed so he could drive straight through. He caught his recliner on fire at least once a year falling asleep with a cig burning. My dad smoked too. In the house or truck or outside or wherethefuckever he happened to be. Windows up in the winter or down in the summer for indoors or in the car. I dipped skoal instead because I couldn't stand the smell of the smoke. I started when I was 9 working hay. It kept my mouth moist and made me feel like one of the big guys. My mom got pissed when she found a can in my pocket doing laundry. Told me the next time I was going to eat it in front of her if she found it again. That was a mistake, I learned I didn't have to spit. So now I could dip at school. Then came basic training. I didn't even know the word addicted unless it was about heavy drugs. I learned quickly. At the end of basic I finally bought me a log of skoal and started up again. Dumbest motherfucker on the planet. To this day when I smell skoal wintergreen, it makes my mouth water. Fortunately not many people around me use it any more.

We bought a cheap fixer up house as our first house. The people that lived in it must have been related to my grandpa. Weeks of scrubbing, priming, airing out, painting and you could still smell the smoke. It was disgusting. I bought my daughters first car from New Jersey sight unseen on ebay in drunken stupor and it arrived smelling faintly of smoke. I tore that whole interior apart down to the metal and cleaned it. Re-upholstered the thing above the belt line. Power washed the carpets and let them dry in the sun 3 times and left the seats outside in front of a fan with the covers off and washed the covers. I could still smell it on hot day. I can't even imagine how bad your lungs look when You smoke.
 
Like many here, grew up with smoking parents. And grandparents. Mom and dad smoked in the house, smoked in the cars, smoked at work, smoked wherever they happened to be. They would crack the window in the car. The fucking return air duct in our house was in my room. I have inhaled so much cig smoke in my first 18 years....and I hated it. I moved out to college at 18, and wouldn't you know it, they bought new cars and built a barndo and decided not to smoke in the cars or new barndo anymore. Only outside. They both still smoke a lot, but always outside, in the garage, in the shop or whatever. They basically marinated me in cigarette smoke and when I moved out, they said fuck it, this isn't fun anymore and started smoking outside like the assholes they are. :flipoff:

Grandma and grandpa on the other hand smoked in their house and cars till they passed. Loved them, spent a lot of time with them. Grandma would look at me and say "Don't ever start this disgusting habit" and then light up in the truck with the windows up. Fawwwwk.

I dipped for about 12 years, quit that shit, still have a cigar OUTSIDE a couple times a month. I have never touched a cigarette, but there's still something about a sexy lady lighting up that trips my trigger. I guess because of my first spank bank material in mom's redbook mags with the virginia slims ads. No idea. First wife smoked outside, weirdly only at night while she drank nightly. Alcoholic and nic addict. So I've been around the shit my whole life basically and no, I wouldn't smoke inside but man you do you. If you have kids though, don't put them through that.
 
We smoke inside of my dad's bar, it doesn't seem to hold smoke smell, but it doesn't really have anything in it to hold the smell.
 
Yousa stoopid, and you stink!!



Was a staple of my youth and all my buddies except 1. The 1 is the most off base of everyone.

Anyway, I'm not even close to what I grew up with smoking in the car/living room/kitchen but have a good basement and after kids (7,8) are in bed I like a drink and a smoke. I've stopped a bunch of times up to 5 years since starting on my 18th because I could. Also bought a lotto ticket and cigar that day.

When I'm not smoking I can smell it instantly, don't want to stink up the lower level (lol) but relaxing is important. Was thinking about some fans to vent outside or options to not feel like a dirt ball when no smokers swing by

Anybody relate to this?

I quit a million times. So did my wife. One of us would always fuck it up. The other was always so happy they had the other to blame. :laughing:

When we left Vegas, and quit for reals, here's what I did. I dumped a bunch of money on mountain bikes. We would take them out every weekend and ride, each time going further and further, eventually building up our calves to where our lungs couldn't keep up. Looked forward to every weekend to see how far we could push it. It was super easy after that. We literally just forgot about it. Never cared to ever start up again. Took about a year. I even peddeled it to work. Today, not so much but we still ride on weekends. It's the only real good thing about living in Oregon.
 
That's too funny, every time I stopped I picked up a new hobby. Now I have a ton of shit around I don't use lol

Gonna work on the drinks first I think but definitely on the same page where a regular cough always makes me think the worst:homer:
 
Haven't had a cigarette in over 15 years. Have a reoccurring thought that I should just buy a pack, finish it, then I'll be done for a while. Maybe just as a treat on a boys wheeling weekend or something. I don't though. Then it comes back up. Just one pack.

Firstly, congratulations. It's not an easy task.

Do you put any effort into your health? If you do that (at least for me) you have more to lose and don't want to blow it.
 
Anyone who never smoked a cig or cigar is a pussy

Anyone who vapes is a fag

:flipoff2:
 
Side note, I always like watching the cigarette get lit and loved the initial smell. Never liked the smell a few seconds in.

Same. Add in a Zippo or match and it gers even better.

Both my parents smoked when I was younger. Dad made an effort not to do it inside or around me in the vehicles.

I don't mind it (others smoking) in certain situations. In the shop or at the race track, takes me back to spending time with my dad and uncles.

My Brother was director of oncology R&D at a very large pharmaceutical company, you should hear what he has to say. One thing, most smokers think of they stop before they have problems they didn’t do any damage. That’s bullshit, it’s cumulative damage meaning you can’t unsmoke the damage.
Also my dentist buddy say that the guys that chew, their mouths are so nasty, he hates to work on them.
 
The wife and I enjoy a cigar about once a month or so. Always outside, even in the winter.
Wife used to smoke cigarettes, can't stand the one smell now.
I never saw the point. You get more nicotine from chew, also a gross habit.
Smoke and tar stained saturated walls are a huge pita to deal with.
To the op, they make smoke eaters that filter the air, but it's cheaper and easier to go outside.
