I never smoked inside unless I was super drunk or high... and I lived in this tiny studio apartment and my cat hated smoked :'( I feel bad just thinking about it. I definitely know the hassle of having to go outside when its butt ass cold and freezing your ass off. Smoking inside always felt.... wrong to me, like I shouldn't be doing it.I am seriously considering quitting smoking for good this time. I keep going back to it. The biggest incentive is that I am NOT going to smoke in my house like I did this past winter. If I want to keep doing it I have to go outside and Michigan winters aren't conducive to that. Especially in the AM in my jammies with my coffee.
Took me the better part of a week to wash that nasty brown slime off of my walls, my curtains, my clothes, the cabinets and the mirrors. With no windows open for 6 months out of the year that shit is just plain nasty. I am not going to go through that again. Lordy, I hope not anyway.
Smoking indoors grosses me out even as a veteran smoker. I worked in IT and people who brought in their computers it was so obvious the indoor smokers, especially the older people. Their computers are covered in tobacco smoke resin and man.... even as a smoker it made me sick. I'm not trying to make you feel bad or anything.
I've been trying to get my dad to quit for years.
For me what worked was switching to oral tobacco because it gives a very strong tobacco buzz (more than cigarettes), then from there I switched to non tobacco products like gum, lozengens and vaping. You can get REALLY buzzed from vaping but it's not as euphoric and doesn't have that dopamine kick from tobacco. At least it won't kill you and doesn't stink
