    I gave up smoking for a couple of months last year, and then I somehow tricked myself into smoking again

    gonna try again soon once I finish all this duty-free tobacco I bough

    Fucking duty free cigarettes man! They were the catalyst for me smoking again. A carton of durries for $20 I'd be stupid NOT to buy them!

    It costs $17 for a pack here :/

    Yay self-control.

    Yay friends watching out for you.

    Yeah, I'm gonna pin that one on being fucking stupid. If you have diabetes, don't do that shit. Take care of yourself and don't go to parties and expect those around you to be a bunch of nannies.


    Edit: also, keeping track of how much someone has imbibed at a party is pretty difficult unless you sit there and watch them.

    I go through a pack of gum every 3-4 days. But it's sugar-free, so it's not really bad for me. If anything, the extra saliva keeps my mouth extra clean.

    yeah, that's stupid bullshit and what's worse is they're demanding that you enforce it, but you blatantly do not have the authority to do so

    so they're basically asking you to do the impossible and take all the heat from passengers about the stupid decision as well

    agreed, that was a terrible plan that was bound to fail and it was her responsibility to not be stupid
    but then, teenagers are generally stupid and terrible

    Man, I'm always sipping water on the metro despite the rule about no food or drink.

    Although I don't think they care about water, because even if I spill it it's not going to make any more of a mess than when it's raining. And if I start getting motion sickness (occasionally happens) they'd much rather have me spill water than puke.

    Slightly less gross than cigars

    Dad smoked a pipe for years, then switched to cigars.

    we have the authority to enforce it in the sense that, if they refuse to get off the bus with their drink, we don't move the bus and call the main office, who will come over and talk to them (takes 20 minutes to just get there, then however else long the passenger wants to argue for)

    if that still doesn't work, the cops get called

    and they have ARRESTED people for refusing to get off a bus

    people have gotten ARRESTED over refusing to toss their coffees that they know they're not allowed to have in the first place

    and throughout all of this, the passengers actually following the rule have to sit their asses on a stationary bus and just get more and more frustrated

    but in the past this hasn't been such a big deal because most people can understand the "no open containers" rule


    in all honesty I'd give this new rule the ol' fuck you if they weren't so serious about its enforcement
    to the point where they will have secret riders getting on with a drink and see if you tell them no
    and if you let them ride, you either get reprimanded or fired that day, depending on your status and if you're a full-time driver or part time

    they do this with other things as well

    @tommy2hands: i don't much care for joints or blunt, though they are fun; too inefficient at burning. bubblers and grav bong get me higher on half the bud, but then i'm also a newbie so cooled smoke is much easier to handle for my lungs.

    I switched to electronic cigarettes last night! Woo go me!

    Some friends and I were going out drinking, and I can't drink and not smoke, and here there are laws preventing smoking in pretty much any building, so I decided to try it out.

    Glad I did, I like it so far. I bough a Strawberry flavored oil for it, so that helps.

    I still have a few packs left, and I am going to go ahead and smoke them, but I figure I've got a week tops before I'm done with tobacco cigarettes.
