Indeed. I started vaping years ago which honestly saved my life. Obviously smoking/vaping anything is going to be bad for you but vaping 1ml of nicotine and 4ml of vape juice isn't anywhere near as bad as smoking a pack and a half a day and the sheer cost of smoking that much these days, oy vey! Hahah
@@angrymetalhead yeah, I smoked for 16 years vaped for 4 then I was like... I'm vaping 1.5mg and mixing it with 0.. I could be spending my money in a better way. Absolutely saved me though, now I can't even enjoy a cigarette because I cough and wretch uncontrollably.
I stopped smoking cigarettes a long time ago, over a decade ago actually. I would smoke mostly when socialising especially when drinking alcohol, and even now many years later if I have a few beers at a party or something I find myself wanting to smoke a cigarette for some reason. The best way to combat the cravings for me is to smoke a joint of some nice weed. 😁 works every time.
Man one of my favourite things about youtube is coming across random scenes from movies ive never heard of, and then finding some of the most emotionally effective movies ive ever watched. Really excited to check this one out, this scene was phenomenal
@@BakerWildI haven't seen Smoke, but saw this one, it can be watched by itself, and is a very good movie, pure gem. Hope you watched it since you posted.
From what I’ve read, the script is written loosely and the whole thing is largely improvised. So Miramax essentially funded a 90 minute, well-shot podcast.
smoked throughout my entire army career and a couple years after. Used Vaping to quit, but i still came back to smokes every so often. Pa had a heart attack and that's i cold turkey'd that shit but, i still miss it every once in a while. There was a sort of peace one gets when they smoke.
check out diffrent brands of tea there are some tea leafs that you can smoke that are not really bad to do tbh , i wish i was able to quit atm but too much stress has me smokeing a cig every hour or more. what you miss(at times) is the act of breathing in smoke and expanding you lungs and there are some tea leafs that feel like your smoking but there is none of the addictive nicotine. ill do some research and give you some options dm me if your intrested....
Never thought about it until reading your last sentence, but humanity's discovery of fire and how to create it, led to the burning of many things to find warmth. From the burning of many things to find warmth is how we must have discovered the effects of breathing in certain things. Creating a fire for warmth and protection from wild animals is a form of peace, in a way. So, perhaps smoking has some instinctual primordial memories that reside... of safety and warmth in times of danger and cold. Or perhaps I'm thinking too deeply about it.
wow this relates to pulp fiction, back to the future and four rooms(the lighter not striking). If you haven't seen four rooms you are in for a treat. Go watch four rooms.
Wings of Desire is the film, by Wim Wenders, here’s the scene: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uzFGEx9SkDg.htmlsi=SNhokMLou9LhZyO6 It is truly one of the most thoughtful and beautiful films I have ever seen.
Goddamn I miss smoking! Coffee and smoke really is a beautiful thing. An after meal smoke with a coffee is just out of this world. Haven't smoked a real cigarette in years and have been nicotine free for just over a year for the first time since I started at 8 and I miss it everyday!
I started when i was your age, and some time ago i quit for 6 years straight. I been back on em for about 1 1/2 or 2 years now, and guess what brand? Lucky Strike filters! Go figure!
My great grandma had packs of luckys in her 'frigidaire' she was usually a freak about anyone going into her fridge. But i knew when she was in a good mood bc she'd let me grad a cream soda.
I hope I can smoke my last cigarette soon. I didn't start because I wanted to look cool, I did it to calm my nerves in public. I don't even think I'm addicted, I don't really have cravings. I can go a whole day without it if I'm feeling too lazy to get up or if it's too cold outside but once I light one its hard not to chain smoke. It gives me focus. Makes me less fidgety. I don't want to take prescription drugs, thats something I know I'll get addicted to.
@@Ben-ed4wx yea that's not true. Only 2 drugs can kill you if you quit em cold turkey if you've been addicted - alcohol and xanax. Trust me benzodiazepenes are infinitely worse than smoking
Hey man, nothing wrong with smoking in moderation. God gave man the created good of tobacco, its to be enjoyed and used for its effects, but moderation is key.
Gave up smoking so my asthmatic partner didn't have to deal with that shit. The memory of dragging on a crisp Marlboro or a hand rolled Golden Virginia makes me smile but trying to smoke now just hurts my lungs instantly
I ain't joking. I was about to burn myself and die. But I just watched this video and when that dude asked for a photograph, it cheered me up more than any antidepressant.
Hey man, I’m going through it too. Currently been talking to my “one who got away” convincing myself she’ll give me another chance. Mixed signals. All that shit. But I’m still going. And if I can do it, I know you can do it too. I know hearing about someone else’s shit doesn’t make yours seem any different, but just know you aren’t alone.
Yep! It was filmed down the block from me in Prospect Park, Brooklyn! It became a check cashing joint. Smoke and Blue in the Face... Paul, the writer of it, was straight outta Brooklyn.
I smoked 3 packs a day for 20 years. Then I found this vape called Vaporesso, and a vape juice by airfactory, unflavored. It's the only vape setup I've found that completely satisfies my urge to smoke. It's been 2 months now and in all that time, I've only had 2-3 real cigarettes a day, which I have with a morning, evening, and night cup of coffee. I've got no urge for the real thing now other than those three times a day, 3 real ones. You should switch over to this, if you're a heavy smoker like I was.
@@edwarddailey21 yeah man I smoked literally non-stop, chainsmoking from waking to sleep. 3 packs a day, sometimes more. I even tore the filters off all my cigarettes and smoked them that way. So if I can quit with this, anyone can
I moved from vaping to pipes because I was vaping constantly. I moved in reverse. I might need to reverse it back if I try to quit. I just love nicotine, a clear mind, and those pleasant, brief conversations.
If you haven’t ever been a smoker, you will never fully understand. You can smoke a cigarette, whatever.. until you’ve been a nicotine addict you’ll never understand. Don’t be sad, you’re not addicted, you lucky fuck.
I quit smoking a couple years ago. I was way underweight. Smoking just killed my appetite. I'm at a healthy weight and my lungs are clear and strong. Best thing I ever did. Sometimes I do miss smoking though, that's why every now and then I'll get hemp smokes with filters, look and feel like smokes, but I don't have to worry about becoming addicted again
The Mrs. says: I smoked in my 20's and I enjoyed the habit very much, no one was uptight about anybody smoking in those days, there still was a lot of freedom to do what you wanted. My friends and I were going to be young forever and so free and having so much fun, drinking and smoking and no cares. Well, I seldom read a newspaper and did not want to, no worries, just young and non-committed, then I got a boy friend and my life was never the same, no more happy days for me ever again.
This happens to me. I get the unlucky break of being behind the one who knows the cash register operator, and it always seems like the two of them have a meandering conversation I can't see the point of like this that goes on and on while I wait. Then after that the cashier gets rid of me in like 3 seconds and looks annoyed.
That line about sharing a smoke with your lover kinda got to me, reminded me of being young, having horrible sex on the floor because nobody knows what the fuck they are doing at that age, and enjoying a smoke together without the worries that comes with being a boring adult
I will always remember this conversation - I watched it in the 90s and to this day I keep it in my mind as a lively image. And I agree with all about the cigarettes that Jim is saying. I quit a long time ago, but there is not a single day I would not miss ciggies.
When Harvey says “they sure do take us for a ride, huh” after Jim reads the propaganda on the pack, I realized it has been over thirty years since, and we ALL have been taken on the final ride and will pay the ultimate price for the profit of the very same companies and people who provided us cigarettes.
This is the sort of sequel to Smoke (1995), although nowhere near as strong as that film and missing great chemistry between Keitel and late great William Hurt and that film has a more linear feel to it. This is still a fun watch for scenes like this. It's nice to see Harvey Keitel play just loveable everyday guy for once. Blue in the Face was filmed over 5 days straight after Smoke finished. Also great to see the fantastic Jared Harris in a early performance.
I wonder if any smoker in the UK can remember the last time they could lift a cigarette and smell it. Or light it up, smoke it and taste it? You know, that tobacco smell or taste. Or any non-smoker sitting near a lighted cigarette who remembers the last time they could smell the smoke. All this from the most expensive cigarettes in the world. Minimum £12 for a pack. Greece €3.80. Philippines €0.0012. Same brand.
We have reached the point in the west where there's plenty more in our daily lives they are trying to forbid. I leave it up to all of you who I mean with 'they'.
I am the luckiest guy ever! I realy love to smoke, but, for some reason, definitely not anything to do with discipline, I never got addicted- so all good 😌
