I'm going to give notice where I'm at on the 1st. Somewhere there HAS to be a place for me where I can sit in front of my desk, and drink my morning coffee and smoke a cigarette. Not a joint, I am willing to go outside for that, but by fucking god I want the freedom to be able to do what the fuck I want in the place I am paying rent at in the place, and I don't have that here and I thought I could handle it for the views, but it is driving me fucking nuts and would be better off in a motel room I can smoke at than here so am going to do what is best for me and get SOMEWHERE I CAN SMOKE IN PEACE.
I had to vent, sorry.
Quoting: Kira mai Kadwalladyr Just a suggestion: switch to e-Cigs. I didn't think I could do it, and it took a few months & 1 "relapse"-but it was the best decision I've ever made in my life!! These days, there's affordable options and eCigs that give you the "hit", taste & "feel" that are almost identical to the "real thing"-without having to deal with all the restrictions, the smell, or the main health hazards!! And believe me-I was one VERY tough cookie to break!!
With all my experience in medicine, my health problems, even working for a time in cancer research-you'd think it would be a "no-brainier". Nope. I fought like heck until it hit me so bad financially, I was making choices no one should make-just to keep smoking!!
My ex introduced cigs to my Son when he was about 13, and I knew he's as stubborn as I am-but I was able to finally convince him to switch last year.
Although I've basically weaned myself down to 0-3mg nicotine, and only use them when I'm anxious or upset-THAT took about 4 years. Yea, I was one of the early adopters of eCigs, or "Vaping", starting in 2009.
If you want anymore info on them, or suggestions as to companies to deal with (you DO need to be careful-a lot of fly-by-night" sites have popped up with crappy products. I've been with the same company since '09-tried some others, but always went back), PM me if you want any more info!!
Good luck because I've found probably 90% of rentals in MY area are "no-smoking"!! The couple of places that are allowing smoking around here-I wouldn't let my kitty into!! ;)
