Poorer reason than lighting the filtered end? I was getting together with a non smoking asthmatic and was pretty clear about her disdain for smoking as a whole but when she asked “are you going to fuck and then go outside to smoke instead of snuggle?” I was like goddamnit... and quit. Pretty good decision at the end of the day.
My dad used to smoke about 2 packs a day, even at home, even in the kitchen and other living spaces.
When I got a girlfriend, at some point she said she doesn't really like to come to my place because even if it's very nice, her clothes smell terribly when she gets home. She needs to put everything to the washing maching and take a long shower.
I saw that sometimes, she was reluctant to hug me.
She told me I was carrying the smell.
I felt very angry at my dad of course. But at least I'm certain I'm never lighting one up.
And at some point my dad decided to use a smokepipe instead. This made him reduce his consumption drastically, because you need to prepare it, to clean it and stuff.
And at some point he went back to cigs, but he wasn't used to carrying them anymore, ended up forgetting them in the car, forgetting to buy them. After a few days of forgetting he thought, well, let's see how it happens.
And, to my knowledge, never hit one since.
His skin now looks significantly better, he can now hike again. I really like how it turned out. I'm very proud.
