My daughter and I started smoking together
I heard of this site and thought I would post my positive experience to something that is thought of a negative. My daughter was blessed with above average intelligence. This resulted in her becoming very bored in school. After consulting my sister who is a child psychologist and with the school’s approval she skipped some grades in school. When she was 13 she was a sophomore in high school. She continued to do very well in her studies. She had always been shy and introverted. Being a 12- and 13-year-old in high school only exasperated that. She began becoming withdrawn and not participating in anything other than her studies. I talked with the principal and she confirmed that although Janine was not bullied or ostracized by her fellow students she was not included in many of the activities. Janine was asked to join but she usually refused or did not stay involved. I was very worried and after her sophomore year I asked my sister to speak with her.
My sister told me Janine had always been different and had a hard time relating to others her own age. Additionally, by placing her in an environment with others older than her we were not helping the situation. She also thought if we had allowed her to progress through school at the normal pace it would have caused worse problems. My daughter and I had a good relationship. I have a PhD and teach at the local university and understand some of the issues she is facing. My sister thought we had to come up with something that helped Janine increase her confidence and self-worth.
My sister came up with a solution which I thought was ludicrous. My sister was a smoker and had been one since she was 16. Both our parents smoked but I never took up the habit. My sister thought Janine should become a smoker. At her age it would be something that she would think adults did and might possibly give her self-confidence. My sister told me that was the way she felt when she took up smoking. My sister had been quite and shy as a young teenager. The only problem she could see was Janine would not start smoking if she thought I would not approve. I told my sister how stupid the idea was and after some more discussion I told her I would think about it. A few days later we discussed it again and even though I thought it was a big risk, I told my sister I would tell Janine I approved if she would teach her. I did not want her to learn from some kid. That was when my sister told me just telling Janine I approved would not be sufficient. Janine looked up to me too much. She hit me with the next bombshell and told me I would have to start smoking with her. After another long discussion I agreed.
My sister came over on a Saturday for lunch with 2 pack of cigarettes. One regular and one menthol. I talked to Janine and told her things were very stressful at work and her aunt had suggested I start smoking to relieve the stress. I told Janine I was not going to start if she disapproved, and I thought if I was going to smoke, she could start as well. To my surprise, with little hesitation she said if I was going to start, she would too. My sister lit us each a regular cigarette and gave it to us. She spent the next few minutes showing us how to smoke. We did not inhale and after that first cigarette we ate lunch. I asked Janine how she liked it and she said it was kind of nice. After lunch we each lit our own cigarettes and learned to inhale with a little coughing involved. Before my sister left after dinner, we each smoked 4 or 5 more. I liked the regular cigarettes and Janine did also. My sister suggested having 5 or 6 the next day starting with coffee in the morning. Together we finished the pack my sister gave us and had to get more. I bought Janine her own pack, a lighter and an ashtray.
The change in Janine was amazing. My sister was right. I allowed her to smoke anywhere I smoked including in public. She began to talk more openly and seemed to stand up straighter and carry herself more confidently. She was more willing to do new things and we had a great summer. I had no classes, so we went on a couple of min-vacations and she even started talking to young boys. Knowing she would have trouble with school rules about smoking I tried to keep our consumption down to about half a pack a day. When school started again Janine was definitely a smoker and proud of it. At the teacher-parent night after a couple of weeks after school st7arted the principal pulled me aside and told me the change in Janine was noticeable. She asked what had happened and I confessed what my sister and I had done. Rather than scolding me the principal said she was a smoker and thought we had done Janine a favor. She said she would have to enforce the rules but would give Janine a little slack if necessary. Janine made some new friends with the older students. One girl needed help with her studies and Janine helped her. In the process Janine taught her friend how to smoke. The school had an open lunch policy and students could go off-campus. Her friend had a car and each day she took Janine off campus for lunch and a cigarette or two.
Janine graduate with honors in the middle of her senior year. Because of her age (15) we thought it best she start college at my university so she could live at home. Because of a program between the high school and the college and advanced placement courses Janine started college as a sophomore with 45 hours.
She continued to smoke and increased to a pack a day. My sister told me I would like smoking, but I would never have believed how much I enjoyed it. I had to watch myself so I would not smoke too much. Luckily, I was a well-liked professor and demand for my classes was high so I was teaching several classes. This limited the available time to smoke. Janine and I continued to be close and maybe even enhanced that relationship. Janine continued to make friends and became active in many of the event at school. She finished her bachelor’s and got her master’s. Then she had to go away to get her PhD. That was probably more traumatic for me than her. She announced to me she found a boyfriend and after a few months they moved in together. After she got her PhD they both moved back home and she is now teaching at the university with me.
The pandemic influenced us. Being at home without classes I started smoking more and got up to 2 packs a day. Janine and her boyfriend live a couple of blocks away and we see each other often and she also increased to a couple of packs. With the state opening up and classes beginning again we are trying to cut back.
I will be forever grateful to my sister and would never have thought that allowing my daughter to smoke would change her live so much for the better. I truly enjoy smoking and wish I had started when I was a teenager when my sister tried to get me to smoke. I know it is not healthy, but it probably saved my daughter from a life of fear and lack of confidence. She is now well liked by her students and really seems to enjoy life. She loves and is loved. We have both been smoking for 10 years now. I will always think that allowing her to smoke helped her to get to that point. If she has a child similar issues, I am sure she will do the same thing.
I call **
Let’s put aside that no adult smoker (certainly non I’ve ever known) is going to encourage a 13 year-old relative to smoke for ANY reason. If OP really has a PhD; a highly educated woman, she would know when to use semicolons ( ; ) in her post.
There are none whatsoever.
I’m just a semi literate school bus driver, and I know when to use them.
I really think these outrageous posts are surreptitiously paid for by Big Tobacco to get more people smoking. Because, when you make your money killing off your loyal customers, you’ll need a steady stream of new ones.
I used to see this woman at the bus stop early in the morning smoking a long cork filtered cigarette. I went by there regularly and she was always smoking, loving her cigarette. I'd always take a big drag on my Marlboro 100 when I went by so she could see I love a cork 100 cigarette also. A few times I'd circle around and go by a second time and light another cigarette so she could see I like to chain smoke in the morning. Another place I used to sit and smoke in my car and watch the cars go by, a lady drove by there almost every time I was there and she always had a long cigarette smoking. The gas station I used to go to to get gas and cigarettes had a salon next door with a cute lady working there that smoked. One time I went by and she was doing something at the door with a cigarette in her mouth and I was lighting my cigarette as I went by. We looked at each other her with her cigarette in her mouth and I took a giant puff on my cigarette I just lit up as i was looking at her, just a couple smokers doing what they love with their cigarettes in their mouths getting the maximum fix feeling flavor pleasure and sensation only possible with a long strong cork filter cigarette in the mouth.
I walked out of a hospital and saw the most gorgeous woman smoking a long cigarette, she looked so cute and glamorous puffing away and blowing all her smoke. Another time a nurse came out on her break and out come her Marlboro Red 100s, she lights up and starts puffing away loving her long strong cigarette just loving her lips all over that long cork filter. She was inside to help people get healthy then she comes outside throws caution to the wind and puffing and sucking herself silly into a nicotine stupor saturating her lungs in thick rich cigarette smoke from her long cork filtered nicotine laden pacifier.
I saw a lady at the drive up teller preparing her banking with a long cork filter cigarette hanging out of her mouth, puffing away blowing lots of smoke without ever taking the cigarette out of her mouth she was so into that cigarette, I dangled my Marlboro 100s a lot more after that got to love a cigarette hanging out of my mouth, the constant cigarette flavor quality filter time and lungs full of smoke is only a puff away and blowing the smoke out over the cigarette in the mouth is quite a sensation, now I know why women love a cigarette hanging out of their mouth.
I had a teacher that was a smoker, a girl in the class asked her for a cigarette but she said she couldn't give her one or she could get in trouble. Another day I saw her driving after school and sure enough she was puffing away on a long cork filter cigarette, so glad to be off work and smoking cigarette after cigarette. Another girl I used to see walking up the ramp after school always smoking. I called her happy smoke because she looked so glad to finally be smoking a cigarette again. So many of the girls smoked and mostly Marlboro 100s full flavor. A few of my friends moms were also Marlboro 100s smokers.
I saw this sweet young women drive up to the mini mart smoking a cigarette. She went in came out a minute later and drove by me on her way out and she already had another long cork filter cigarette in her mouth. She didn't look like the smoker type, she was so wholesome and innocent looking but she looked so comfortable with that cigarette in her mouth as if she'd done it a thousand times and she probably has, it really made me want a cigarette bad and take a huge drag.
I had a lady neighbor who loved to smoke, I'd see her on her patio smoking and she loved having her fresh lit Marlboro Red 100 hanging out of her mouth. Another cute gal was walking up to the store and she looked over at me and she had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. She came out a few minutes later and lit up another cigarette and dangled that fresh lit cigarette and it was a Marlboro Red 100! One other time I saw her there hop in her car and out came the Marlboro Red 100s, she lights up her cigarette and lets it dangle from her lips. This babe loved a long strong cork filter cigarette and especially loved having the cigarette hanging out of her mouth.
This is so stupid.
I had a supervisor woman who was a heavy smoker on Marlboro lights 100s only. She loved her cigarette to no end puffing away as often as she could and didn't care what anyone thought. She was a smoker she loved cigarettes she smoked almost constantly her cigarettes were her constant companion, she was going to smoke smoke smoke that cigarette cause for her it was the most wonderful feeling flavor and fix sucking on her cigarette and blowing lots of smoke all day a dragging drawing puckering puffing cigarette sucking chain smoker chimney who cant go more than 20 minutes without puffing her head off on a long white cigarette she's in love with.
She was sitting outside her work as I went by. She was an older woman with gray hair but there she was with an unlit cork 100 cigarette hanging out of her mouth as if she's done it thousands of times and she has. She lights up her long cork filter cigarette takes a big drag and dives right in to do what she loves the most, puffing away on a long strong cigarette and blowing lots of smoke.
I remember a young lady that worked at the airport years ago and she was able to smoke at work. She pulled out a white 100 cigarette lit up and began puffing away. She really puckered up on the long white filter firmly wrapping her lips around her cigarette. Once latched on she took big puffs and blowing her exhales of all that thick cigarette smoke. She looked so cute sucking and and very pretty blowing a proud heavy smoker that she just loved showing.
She was dressed very nice in business attire walking across the lot puffing away on her cigarette like she was in love with it which she was so pretty proper precious puckering puffing and cigarette sucking smoke loving woman not one bit ashamed to show the world she loves being a heavy cigarette smoker.
She works in her garden with the beautiful flowers
Always puffing away on her long warm cork filters
But sometimes the flowers need help to grow
Show she'll get out the food for them as cigarette smoke she blows
She'll put stuff in the yard for the flowers that wilter
Then she'll puff ** her cork cigarette filter
She ** like a vacum and blows like the wind
Her Newport 100s they are her best friend
I saw my teenage neighbor get picked up be her older friend as soon as they drove away they both had long white cigarettes hanging out of their mouths, getting ready to smoke together all the way to the store. Another time 3 young ladies came out on their break and one lady pulled out a pack of Marlboro full flavor 100s and gave a cigarette to each of the other ladies. The three of them light up and began puffing away on those long strong cork filters loving lots of thick rich cigarette smoke. Another day 3 ladies from a cleaning company had just finished cleaning a house and were outside puffing away on long cigarettes like they really needed them.
One woman was a heavy smoker on cork filtered Marlboro 100s full flavor cigarettes. Her daughter wanted to smoke cigarettes also and she told her to wait until she was 16. So on her 16th birthday the daughter started smoking herself and fell in love with cigarette smoking. Unlike her mother the daughter got on Newport cork filtered full flavored 100s. On a good day she'll smoke 2 packs a day. Now the daughter and her mother can puff away together on long strong cork filter cigarettes to satisfy their constant cravings for thick rich cigarette smoke. The daughter said that she doesn't wake up in the night to smoke but if she does awake and get up she'll enjoy a cigarette before going back to bed just because she loves that cigarette that much. They can't imagine a day without lots of cigarettes, I'll bet they have some big ashtrays in their house with the constant smell of cigarette smoke from these 2 chimneys.
