Seeing an attractive women light a cigarette is not cool. it's disgusting and a total turn off.
No way. There’s a je ne sais quoi to a pretty woman smoking something. Probably nostalgia for when life wasn’t so god damn lame. When the cigarette didn’t get light because addiction and stress and the clock told you to, no. That thing got lit because no one wanted to call it quits on the night. When you’re in a crowded place and she asks if you want to step out for a smoke, then you light that thing and she looks at you on that first proper exhale? Yeah man, that’s the good stuff.
Also, I’m 33 days off the cigarettes and could use some more of that in my life.

Smoking ####ing sucks and is disgusting. Side bar people over the age of 18 worrying about being “cool” are in fact what I call “losers”. You’re an adult, nobody gives a ####.

Whatever, regardless of being 'cool' some people like to smoke.
For instance, I have these neighbours, husband and wife, and both of them smoke.
However, they each try to hide it from the other. It. Is. Hilarious.
I caught the wife smoking behind my shed one day and on another day the husband was hiding behind my car.
You're grown ass adults. Its not illegal. If you want to smoke then just do it! Even I'm tired of this game and I'm not even playing!

This is just something an uncool loser would say.

I mean, she’s a 90 year old far right racist ####oo that looks like don rickles in a wig. Cigarettes can make someone look hot but they’re not miracles workers here.
Interesting poster choice though.

There's something cool about hearing the ringing of a ST Dupont lighter before seeing the flame. A friend has one. It's like a refined fidget toy or something. Like playing with a zippo lighter, but that sound is so much more satisfying than zippo tricks.
IMO, smoking like drinking always felt inverse of intentions though. If you did it to look cool, you looked stupid. If you did it without casting how you looked. People wanted to participate with you more.

Part of being an adult is not worrying what is adult or childish. Do what you enjoy.
People declaring they're "adulting" always seems so childish to me.
I mean I think we mostly made the best decisions we could with the information we had at the time. But I now look back with irritation.
I was wiping down groceries when I was hearing catching Covid was like 1 lethal Skittle per pack of Skittles, and it was the most transmissible thing ever. Neither was true.
Then I pulled my kid out of school and activities when I thought there was just as much chance of a child dying as anyone else. Again. Untrue.
After getting vaccinated, I assumed it was like the childhood vaccinations, and would prevent you from getting or transmitting Covid. Again, wrong. Hence me catching Covid 3 times after getting vaccinated. Which showed me that it was less severe than the flu for me.
In hindsight... kind of feels like we stopped down the world for the sake of the elderly?
In particular shutting schools - sacrificing the young for the old feels like a massive mistake brought about by having geriatrics at the levers of government.
Happy to be wrong on any of the above BTW.
How dare you question the medical profession.

I wrote a part of my masters thesis on Smoking in 19th century Alberta. Tobacco was an important part of Fur trader's world view. They would measure distances and duration of work in pipe length. Most work contracts had a stipend for rum and tobacco.
Anyways, my thesis probably isn't that interesting. But a very interesting book on the subject is Sacred Gifts, Profane Pleasures: A History of Tobacco and Chocolate in the Atlantic World by Marcy Norton.
Spoiler!
Before Columbus's fateful voyage in 1492, no European had ever seen, much less tasted, tobacco or chocolate. Initially dismissed as dry leaves and an odd Indian drink, these two commodities came to conquer Europe on a scale unsurpassed by any other American resource or product. A fascinating story of contact, exploration, and exchange in the Atlantic world, Sacred Gifts, Profane Pleasures traces the ways in which these two goods of the Americas both changed and were changed by Europe.
Focusing on the Spanish Empire, Marcy Norton investigates how tobacco and chocolate became material and symbolic links to the pre-Hispanic past for colonized Indians and colonizing Europeans alike. Botanical ambassadors of the American continent, they also profoundly affected Europe. Tobacco, once condemned as proof of Indian diabolism, became the constant companion of clergymen and the single largest source of state revenue in Spain. Before coffee or tea became popular in Europe, chocolate was the drink that energized the fatigued and uplifted the depressed. However, no one could quite forget the pagan past of tobacco and chocolate, despite their apparent Europeanization: physicians relied on Mesoamerican medical systems for their understanding of tobacco; theologians looked to Aztec precedent to decide whether chocolate drinking violated Lenten fasts.
The struggle of scientists, theologians, and aficionados alike to reconcile notions of European superiority with the fact of American influence shaped key modern developments ranging from natural history to secularization. Norton considers the material, social, and cultural interaction between Europe and the Americas with historical depth and insight that goes beyond the portrayal of Columbian exchange simply as a matter of exploitation, infection, and conquest.

FOI is so weird and vibeless. Zero swag. I always forget that my loveable humour doesn’t fly over there like it does in my precious off-topic section and that RGMG.

It is pretty normal for this place to become a graveyard after a loss to the Oilers. This is a strange year because everyone was excited to cheer for young players who are carving a name for themselves and instead we're stuck with an other middle aged, mediocre team.

When cooperations try to jump on memes/sayings too late. Sportsnet just hopped on the "I'm here for it" social media bandwagon for their new promotional ads just as the phrase has finally started dying down on social media, due to overuse (as all sayings do).
Note to corporations, you can't get your **** together fast enough to latch onto trends when you have to write, act, produce and wait for release dates (not to mention keep them in circulation for months as you do) before you miss them, so don't try.

Except Ryanair, their social media game is always on point.
