Haven’t seen an honest to god smoker in a while xD it had been years before I bumped into one a couple months ago. Vaping is all the rage now.
I quit smoking May 1st 2014 (cold turkey after almost 20 years of smoking) when my job stopped allowing smoking on the property on May 2nd. New owners kept the rule until recently as I can only guess there was to many people sneaking vape in places we couldn’t even smoke before.
Once they did that, I saw plenty of smokers and vapers. So still plenty of smokers and some of them young. Can also see them at the gas station pretty regularly when I go there.
Smoking is still pretty common, mostly by GenX and boomers like myself. I’ve all but quit myself, I use a vape mostly, because my wife has COPD due to an genetic issue, not from smoking. I was a 3 pack a day smoker, now it’s 3 packs a month. Mostly when I’m driving, I vent the car so on the rare occasion my wife has to go anywhere, it won’t bother her. She’s on at-home hospice, has less than a year.
Wow. I’m really sorry to about that, Scarsdale.
I’m wishing the best for you two, and sending my prayers if that’s OK for you two.
Cheers, TRA.
I’m saddened to hear of this. We are still so powerless before the gaze of death. I wish I had better to offer than my feeble art.
I can’t speak for Scarsdale, but as someone who is also enduring a significant family tragedy? It’s nice to come somewhere where the little art people are just living their lives. It sucks! But it is also Wednesday.
I am also a boomer, and also have many stories about both smoking and respiratory disease. I’ll just say that cigarettes are easy to pick up, and hard to put down–even if you’ve grown up seeing someone being killed by them. I last put them down in 1979, and only smoked for about 7 years, off and on (mostly on), so I think I might have beaten it this time. Still have dreams where I’m smoking again, though.
Anyhow, Scarsdale, I can fully empathize, and I wish both of you comfort and peace.
The only true-blue smokers I’ve seen are drivers. They throw the butts out the window and everything. They’ve all been older, too.
When you continue an addiction despite what it’s doing to your own body, why would you be concerned about it’s damage to the environment?

‘Till then, look out for flying presents.’ Is particularly on point here. Lots of tossed plastic easter eggs in this house, sometimes with ‘CATCH!!’ sometimes not.
I smoked for years and then quit when my kids were born. I switched to chew but it was gross and my wife hated it so now I just smoke cigars when it’s nice enough to do that outside (May – October in MN).
One of the kids at work vapes and he gets shit for it from everybody else. I tell him that when AI takes over, at least he’ll already have plenty of practice giving robots blowjobs. He hates that and it’s never not funny.

I see pre-three-way flirting!
Well, everyone’s dying. :p
I like Bridgette’s little neutral face smile in the first panel, feels very calm and chill. Looking forward to see where this bit goes.
