On my way home from London, and pass a guy standing outside one if the theatres (whichever one is currently showing Mamma Mia!), he looked like he probably worked there, and was dressed in a smart black suit & tie, shoes etc. except he didn't look as smart as he should have, because he was in the middle of rolling a cigarette with a packet of Golden Virginia (checks spelling twice lol) in his hand. When we got closer he asked 'got a light, mate?' I looked at humans said 'sorry, don't smoke' but he probably thought I was a bit of an a**hole because I think I might have had a small smile in my face when I said it (I love saying that, and I can't help it) lol. He looked thoroughly miserable and didn't say anything else; just waited for someone else to pass so he could ask the same question (presumably) until he got the answer he was looking for and could start his withdrawal over again.

I've had that before and sometimes added, "You do know smoking isn't very good for you?!"

You just have to make sure they don't look scary before you say something like that! But you do get a wonderful look of deflation on their face!

Me too!  I'm secretly living via Sarah.  Would it be wrong to ask her to snap pics?

It truly is a great feeling! I love telling people NOPE! I don't really get asked anymore, probably because I look repulsed whenever someone holds up a cigarette. I can't help it -- my face tells it all, I'm sure.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
