    As an American, it was also my breakfast for years.

    I don’t miss smoking, but sometimes I do genuinely miss smoking, if that makes sense. Especially with coffee or tea. :/

      Having a cigarette with coffee while the sun rises is one of the things I miss most about smoking.

        Yes! Exactly. Right in the back of the throat, that fullness in the chest, and the exhale that felt like you’d been holding your breath all day and you could finally breathe.

        I am glad I quit, though. Picked them up again a few months ago when I was beyond stressed and good God, they taste like rancid shit.

          Yeah I picked up a pack a few weeks ago after not smoking for ten years. I smoked half the pack over a few days and tossed the rest. It was just gross. I had romatasized it all hose years and then in reality t was just smelly and sticky and harsh. The smoke didn’t feel nice and my hands felt dirty after. Took a week for the smell to leave my jacket.

        My 80+ grandmother quit 60+ years ago and still gets cravings. I wish I’d never started and had the ability to quit but I’m not there yet.

          Best advice I can give is just wait until you’re ready. It helps too to get a respiratory infection and just quit while it feels terrible to smoke 😂
