    1. Honestly as a former smoker this is kind of brilliant. There was so many times I’d buy a pack just to smoke a few and throw the rest out.

      It became very clear to me as long as I had a pack while quitting smoking it gave me more willpower to resist just knowing they were available. 

      If you have to go through the motion of cutting this package open hopefully you last another day with willpower and resist caving to cut that package open.

      Smoking is a mindfuck.
      I still dream about it occasionally a year later

    2. Now freeze the whole thing in a block of ice to make it that much harder to get to if your resolve starts to fail.

      You got this, man! Future you thanks you for quitting!!!

      This is how I quit from a pack a day. Put one on top of my tv in my bedroom, knew if I wanted a cigarette it was right there, also understood the shame and failure I would feel if I smoked it. After a while I threw it in the trash.

    4. Whenever you feel an urge for a cigarette, put a slim Jim in your mouth and make-believe it’s a cigarette, don’t you chew it suck on it (no diddy)Enjoy the beef flavor

    5. Okay but why does this feel both dramatic and practical at the same time. Like break in case of emergency energy.

      You need to put a lighter or a strike anywhere match with it, come on.

    7. On one of my attempts to quit, I hid a pack of cigarettes in a 24 Hour Steak-n-Shake bathroom. If I wanted to smoke, I had to drive 2 miles to grab one. That attempt didn’t stick, but it was amusing.

    8. I did something like that when I quit smoking. I left one cigarette on the TV as reminder that this was my choice.

      After getting sober I said I’d only start drinking if the end of the world started happening. Granted me and my therapist argue how I’d know that as I made it sober through covid. I’m like well once money means little to people then I think I’ll know

      I also should add smoking again. Cigarette booze and a joint. Will I be puking sure but that first hour will be grand

      This is peak I’m quitting… maybe energy. My emergency cigarettes are in a safe with a 3-digit combination that I forgot. If theres ever a zombie apocalypse and I need nicotine, Im SOL.

    11. Wait, I thought Walt used that to kill Lydia after Huel boosted it from Jesse?

    12. the end is finally here, the bombs have dropped and I see my death racing towards me in a fiery blaze… One last smoke

      Ah damnit I don’t have scissors.

      You die, the end.

      I had one in a glass tube. Had a strike anywhere match in it too. Break glass for a smoke. My last one after quitting 35 plus years ago. Never broke it open.

      I do that too, but for extra safety I keep the sealed versions at 7-11. Retrieving the cigarette requires two factor authentication in the form of me pointing at a pack and handing them $20.

      How long would it stay “fresh” I wonder?

      Could you smoke it in a decade?

      (I don’t know anything about cigarettes)

    16. I had an emergency pack for two years. Finally tried one and remembered why I quit. It’s gross and I didn’t like the way it made me feel. Even the next day I could feel it in my throat (nohomo). However, I can say that I threw that emergency pack out and am confident I will never touch another one again.

      This is the first bit of cigarette posting I’ve seen on Reddit in a long time. Maybe ever? Which is wild. Thirty years ago half my friends smoked. They talked about smoking. They did funny or cool or dumb things with their cigs, lighters, packs, butts, whatever. This is something they’d do. Seeing this familiar thing and realizing I don’t see it anymore makes it hit home just how much times have changed.

      I have one in a glass test tube with a stopper in my car. One of my biggest fears is going off the road into the lake. So I figure before I drown if that happens, I am gonna have another cig.

      Just quit, playing games like this is torture. Try the gum it helped me do it. I haven’t used nicotine since like August last year

      Do a shitload of them and you’ll have a top tier bartering chip for the apocalypse.
