Honey, you might be hot....but are you smokin'

I remember it well it also had peter butterworth strapped in a tight corset, loved the film.

My mother smoked, and alas, it was the death of her.  If ever I had started smoking, what she went through would have been enough to make me quit cold turkey. Fortunately, I never picked up the habit because I grew up around constant second-hand smoke and didn't see the appeal. I certainly didn't find it sexy.

The weird thing is, the smell of cigarette smoke deeply embedded in furniture and carpets and clothes is an odor that makes me nostalgic for my childhood home.  When I was a kid, I never understood why our home had that particular smell and no one else's home did.  Whenever I catch a whiff of that scent somewhere nowadays, at an old bar, or when opening up a used book that was previously owned by a smoker, I'm transported right back to my childhood.

I never smoked but as a child of eisenhower (born in the 50's) I remember the comercials! Especially ->

So round
So firm
So fully packed
So free and easy on the draw

All i could think of was
Uh, you are talking about a cigarette, right?

I'd walk a mile for a camel.
I'd rather fight than switch!
Get happy go lucky!
And, of course,
Show us your lark!

Like i said, i never smoked but i do love the smell of good pipe tobacco or good cigars. Can't explain it but there you go.

Thanks for asking.

Never smoked and never felt the need. Watching the "cool" class mates outside in the cold smoking was never attracting to me and today I'm happy I never started since it's so much simpler to stop then:)

A friend who did smoke for some decades did stop more or less cold turkey. He was in a remote location and had only one single cigarette left so he decided "I don't smoke it now, I do it when I really need it" and now several years later that last one is still unsmoked.

Hi Kelly, thanks for your reply.

I do smile when I see people " cowering " outside in freezing or wet weather, getting their " fix "....but so many say...me??? I'm not addicted....I just love smoking...yeah, right!!! 🤣🤣

I smoked cigarettes from my late teens to my early 30's.  Went through a very bad case of pneumonia, that ended the ciggys and the cravings.

I have, and still partake of left handed herbal blends since my teens.  Not on a daily basis or even once week, just when the mood strikes.

One of my good gentleman friends smokes a pipe and I do enjoy how that smells, really kind of manly sexy.

What did the big chimney say to the little chimney?

Your’e too young to smoke

Went through a very bad case of pneumonia, that ended the ciggys and the cravings.

Somewhat like why my mother (who did smoke even while carrying me) stopped smoking. The doctor gave her a simple choice, stop smoking or stop breathing.
