My friend smokes unfiltered cigarettes

Some smoke, some don't. Everyone has a hang up of some sort.

Just tell him to smoke outside OP. It's a perfectly reasonable request in 2024.

Even if he does smoke outside his clothes smell of smoke enough to still make me sick.

OP do you guys sometimes fuck. If not just cut your losses.

Is he hung OP?

Mind your business.

I didn't know unfiltered cigs were still around. Back in my smoking days I smoked Lucky Strikes occasionally and they were very tasty.

Unfiltered cigarettes smell the same as filtered cigarettes.

I smoked for 13 years and genuinely had NO idea how badly I must have smelled all the time. During that time I briefly dated some guys who were non-smokers, so before our dates I'd have a quick, furious smoke with my head outside a window and then wash my hands and brush my teeth and spritz myself with cologne and convince myself they'd be none the wiser.

Now that I'm myself a non-smoker, I can smell the stink of cigarettes on someone who even walked through a heavy plume of smoke before meeting me, let alone someone who smokes themselves, and it's like, chokingly disgusting. I can't believe how many years I stunk like burning shit without realizing it.

There truly is no way to convincingly cover the smell, and any smoker who thinks they're fooling anyone is only fooling themself.

For some it's grass, for some it's coke

For some it's powder, for some it's smoke

Everybody today is turning on!

For some it's dust, for some it's booze

For some it's upburst to chase the blues

Everybody today is turning on!

I thought it was very French. One thing I like about them.

One of my closest girlfriends is a smoker. I do my best to tolerate it because she’s a good person and she struggles a lot.

We used to take short trips together. That was the hardest for me. I’ve recently decided I just can’t travel with her anymore. Not until she quits for real.

I empathize. I’m an ex-smoker myself. But I haven’t had a cigarette in well over thirty years.

She’s made many (half-hearted, I think) attempts to quit - patches, hypnosis, etc. I’m pretty sure she was never really committed to quitting. She says for sure she’ll quit if she gets pregnant. I hope to god she never gets serious about becoming a mother. I’d almost prefer she keep smoking. Almost. Even though I hate it.

OP’s friend is Lucille Ball.

R8 right 😂. That’s what makes me lowkey side eye this thread as a troll post.

Smoking is a deal breaker for me.

I quit smoking years ago. Right now, I have to finish a thesis and I miss the focus nicotine used to give me so much. This is the only aspect I miss though. It fucked with my brain chemistry, made me effectively dumber for years and a probably brought me onto the verge of lung cancer. Your friend needs to quit. For me, a single round of medication from my doctor finally helped me. (Can't remember the name but it works by blocking receptors in your brain so nicotine has zero effect, plus cigarettes taste awful suddenly.) Help your friend quit. Tell him he stinks. Sometimes we need to hear the truth and it might be more effective than saying you don't want to attend his funeral.

I had a friend who rolled his own cigarettes. He stank bad.

After beating the habit, It was truly shocking to discover how I smelled for most of my adult life. I was oblivious because most of my friends and associates smoked and we ALL hung out in bars and clubs.

BTW, people who roll their cigarettes tend to be assholes. It's a requirement.

OP all of your posts are stupid and desperate.

R14 smokers are such a small tiny % of the population and often try to stay hidden or cover their smell as described above

but because they are so few and stay so well hidden from the vast majority of people when you do smell them as the OP has it can be jarring in a very unpleasant way. Like a chemical spill.

Filtered or unfiltered that only means something to the addict not those that smell the addict.

R21 That's true to NOW but not in the 90s.

I had a friend who smoked. But then he died.

A lot of my friends smoke when we are outside together, which is a lot. The smoke doesn't seem to drift my way a lot of the time or affect me like it used to (my eyes would water, I'd start sneezing/wheezing badly), but I don't think it's great for me either. I don't want to say anything or stop seeing them. They all smoke different brands/types.

I used to be a social smoker before realising my system couldn't cope with it. Then I stopped and started physically reacting to other people's smoke for quite a long time. It was awful, as back then it was still legal to smoke indoors at public venues.

Back then, the filter was more for the benefit of the smoker than anyone breathing in secondhand smoke.

If I could have one impossible wish granted, it would be to be able to smoke and stay healthy. I still miss the nicotine hits after all these years and associate it with holding a smoke between my fingers, raising it to my mouth and drawing in the smoke.

R22 smoking rates in the US have been dropping since Jan 12 1964. But you are correct there were more tobacco addicts in the 90s than today. In fact I can go weeks more than likely months without smelling anyone smoking tobacco.

If we as a society were as successful with sex addicts as we were with tobacco smoking addicts we would be real close at least a lot closer to a smoke free STD free world.

R24 you speak for a lot of addicts of poppers, sex, coke, booze, meth, tobacco——I miss that hit.

It was just the best, r26. I'm so envious of people who smoke and just keep going. I just hope it doesn't catch up with them. I think there should be free chest screens for smokers/ex-smokers (not including myself because I didn't smoke all that much) after losing a loved one who smoked for 40 years, didn't smoke for ten years but died of lung cancer.

In Australia, the tax on cigarettes more than pays for this and any health costs incurred by smoking, and it is a difficult thing to suggest to a smoker or ex-smoker friend or family member to get checked regularly due to how much crap smokers already cop. In NSW, they started this ages ago with ads on SBS encouraging people to get the free screenings.

As a taxpayer, I'd much rather see them be screened and problems caught early than watch them die a miserable death and leave loved ones brokenhearted.

My understanding is that the pesticides used on the tobacco crops cause a lot of the problems like cancer in smokers. It's illegal to grow your own tobacco in Australia.

Free screenings? Sounds like communism to me, pal.

I dumped a potential boyfriend because he needed a smoke break about every half hour. It was just too much

r19, all dutch men do

Free screenings for smokers is not much if any different than free services meds or screenings for other groups that engage in unhealthy high risk vol behavior that leads to a significant increase in sickness and death and costs everyone a shit load of money.

What is good for the goose….

R27 “My understanding”

Pesticides are a problem on a whole lot of our crops. But they are not the reason tobacco smoking causes so much adverse health effects. It’s the tobacco smoking not the pesticides that is by far main the overwhelming problem.

What is in tobacco that helps keep tobacco plants bug free—-nicotine.

My mom smoked unfilteted cigarettes. The plume of smoke was definitely thicker and darker and seemed heavier than uniltered. She never went outside to smoke. She was a heavy smoker; like Humphrey Bogart or Bette Davis. I hated it. And it actually had a huge effect on our relationship as there were never any hugs or physical contact whatsoever. She was always smoking and I was always uncomfortable. I'd leave rooms when she lit up; cos I tended to hold my breath. She avoided places like theatres restaurants and cinemas and even flights, where she couldnt smoke. So we were given money to go by ourselves. Then aged 70 she was diagnosed with lung cancer ...and she never smoked again. It was as if the shock killed any interest. It wasnt even the slightest struggle to give up. It was instantanious. And suddenly the barrier of cigarettes was gone and she seemed softer, smelled more inviting and we did hug. It was so bizarre. She died 9 months later.

Remember those cool little metal flimsy ashtrays?

Filtered or unfiltered is not as much a difference as that filter might make you think. When smokers smoke filtered cigs or go frim high tar to low tar they are often seen to engage in compensating behavior.

Which means they inhale deeper, they squeeze that filter tighter , they try to increase the hit.

R29 as a former heavy smoker who was indeed addicted , no man who is really interested in a really hot piece of ass , that they want and are trying to make a boyfriend or girlfriend keeps running outside every 30 mins to have a cig.

It was either not tobacco he needed to smoke every 30 mins or he just was not into you.

I think people who smoke are real losers!

My grandfather smoked unfiltered Chesterfields and lived to his 80s.

My mom chainsmoked when I was a kid and teenager and while it bothered me, I never felt my airways constrict, my eyes didn’t water, and my nostrils didn’t burn. That’s why I think it’s something to do with the unfiltered cigarettes he smokes.

Also, I honestly don’t care what happens to his health. He knows the risk of smoking and chooses to do so. I’m more worried about my own health and will spend less time around him because of it.

And no idea if he’s hung, but if his genital hygiene is anything like his oral hygiene, I wouldn’t be caught dead going near it.

R37 no one wearing a white onezy and having cigarettes sticking out of both ears has ever looked prettier.

No I have never dumped a friend because they smoke. I am not a tight-assed persnickety twit and platinum level member of the Maiden Auntie Brigade.

R41 good for you all addicts need love.

R41 we can’t all grow up in trailer parks.

Smoker's semen tastes terrible.

And no one needs love more than addicts that live in trailer parks

r41 DL has a collection of some of the prissiest MARY! prisspot queens I've ever seen. It's amazing they can even go out in public they're so overwhelmed and offended by fucking everything.

R7, you make it sound like Lucky Strikes were a great steak. *chef's kiss.

They ARE toasted….

A guy who used to work for me and had, I'd been told, quit smoking was smoking outside the hotel when I picked him up to go to dinner. He knew I'd stopped and I thought he had as well.

"Don't tell Donna (his wife) I'm smoking again" was the first thing he said as he got in the car.

"I don't have to" was all I could say in response.

Aww just smoke a cigarette and shit up
