Im thinking that hypnosis therapy may be an answer to this problem
Smoking frequency
God and Texas!
Being on a smoke filled plane isn't fun, agreed, but I'm not gonna sit there and whine and complain and make up shit just to have everyone put their cigarettes out.. I was so excited to fly when I was younger and to be able to sit in the "smoking section" so I could smoke. I was on a 10hr flight to Italy, I think I smoked two cigarettes and had to put the second one out because the air was so dry I felt like a raisin.Ronv69 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 9:43 pmI was never bothered by cigarette smoke until we got on the plane to come home from Orlando. I was having spasms from the cigarette smoke. I had been around much worse for many years without a problem. I still can't be in a room with cigarettes smoke. Pipe tobacco doesn't faze me.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 5:54 pmI'm a big fan of Empirical evidence, nice one! Lol... Smoking "allergies" is a crock in my opinion, there's asthma, emphasima and the likes and then there's controlling crybabies.

I blow ash, inadvertantly spill, knock the bowl into things...it's truly Krameresque. Best for me to sit still and puff away in peace.

Many moons ago when I was a letter carrier in South Austin I used to cruise my route on foot all day with a medium-sized meerschaum pipe clenched in my teeth. Between that and the ZZ Top-esque beard I had at the time I got a lot of attention and made a lot of friends, which was nice, but not the point - I was just being myself.MikeDennison wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 6:19 amYes!

You can work with a pipe without blowing your bowl (which is a multi-purpose metaphor) but you have to find the one that suits you. Walking my route I had about half-a-dozen pipe brothers who were always glad to see me. 'Have a nice day.'

I would smoke way more if I could smoke at work. In NY you're not allowed to smoke inside restaurants, businesses or pretty much anywhere indoors. We're not even allowed to smoke outdoors in certain places! Absolutely ridiculous! Where I work there is a certain "we sell flammable gases" nonsense for why we can't smoke. Honestly, as unsafe as it MAYBE could be... this place has been open for 100 years and we've only been unable to smoke in here for 10 or 11 years soooo... how dangerous is it really? All the flammables smell, so if you can smell them it isn't safe, if you can't they aren't present. I smoke at work when we're closed and I'm counting inventory; I smoke a pipe pretty much the whole time then. The nannies say that the people who vape can't even do that anymore, because the tiny little spark inside the device may cause an explosion, yet, we use OPEN FLAME on things all the time, everywhere in the building! We light oxy/ace torches and Bernzomatic torches all the time. Tell me again NY why I can't smoke at my desk.

I expect with a lot of practice, a few ruined shirts, and burn holes in my beard and 'stache, I might get the hang of it.Bro Uhaha wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 6:47 amMany moons ago when I was a letter carrier in South Austin I used to cruise my route on foot all day with a medium-sized meerschaum pipe clenched in my teeth.

I burned my eyelid once while walking and smoking... It was more outta stupidity than anything else as I was smoking, walking, long-haired and young. My hair was in my face and I tipped me ole noggin' and shook the hair back... ash and ember then proceeded to fly out of the bowl and into my face.MikeDennison wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 8:47 amI expect with a lot of practice, a few ruined shirts, and burn holes in my beard and 'stache, I might get the hang of it.Bro Uhaha wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 6:47 amMany moons ago when I was a letter carrier in South Austin I used to cruise my route on foot all day with a medium-sized meerschaum pipe clenched in my teeth.
