I feel you. I'm glad I quit and all, but I still miss smoking more days than not. You described it absolutely perfectly. Also you can watch the ember glow, flick the ash, turn the cigarette around in your hand...
Plus I'm one of those who really enjoyed the taste, too. Especially now that spring is coming I miss sitting outside in the warm sunlight with a coffee and a cigarette.
I feel you on taste. I tried baking once and the only flavor I liked could be best described as Liquid ashtray. I could stand the “coconut mango “ type flavors “

Have you ever tried smoking while taking a shit? That’s is the best cigarette. I don’t smoke inside anymore tho ruins the paint, the dog doesn’t like, also it gives the kids cancer.Sorry don’t want to portray smoking in too much of a positive light. It’s a deadly habit but it goes well with adhd. Except for the cancer.
I dated someone for whom that sadly was absolutely a dealbreaker alto it was far from the only one lol
Want to know something funny? I started smoking because a girl called me a boy. I was just a boy but I wanted to lie about being a man

That’s where smoking came to my mind. I purposely became a smoker as an early to prove to a girl a was older: anyway the end of the story or she couldn’t stand cigarette smoke. So we broke up. “Goodbye taja. By the way your view in ancient Egyptian is really wrong. Your tattoo ideas are as cringe as me starting smokingShe was cute though

I was complaining about the girl not you lol
