Howdys all, I made a post this morning about Robert finding a smoke laying on my chest that I had fell asleep with and I was reminded ever so gently about what the Dr. said about me losing my leg. I just wanted to say I haven't stopped trying to quit smoking It's just going slow for me. I have heard from numerous people today about my smoking. Some mad at me, some talked hateful. Things like "the only reason I came home early was to smoke or Maybe you should have a stroke like Tom did so you can forget you ever smoked. I have a lot of stress in my life. Comments like that hurt. They don't help. I didn't think I needed to make a post explaining myself to others yet here I am. I'm trying and that's all I can promise for now.

They don’t burn you?

I'm so sorry these ugly people hurt you. They must never have had a challenge in their lives, everything came easy or was handed to them. Take one step at a time, one challenge at a time. Right now concentrate on healing from surgery then you can concentrate on something else. When you are ready you will quit.

I have the (sorta) paper safe smokes. They are supposed to go out when you stop puffing. Sometimes it doesn't work very good but it did last night.
The predominant method that cigarette companies use to produce Fire Standard Compliant Cigarettes is to wrap cigarettes with two or three thin bands of paper that is less porous than the outer paper tube. These bands act as 'speed bumps' slowing down the burning of the cigarette, thus causing it to self-extinguish

At the same time, all cigarettes sold in the United States must be certified “fire safe,” meaning they are designed to self-extinguish.Jun 16, 2025

Just focus on taking care of yourself. Granny, one of your best characteristics is your bloody-minded stubbornness. Put it to work for you now. Tune out what you don't need to hear and just do what you need to do. You can do this. Focus!

Wow, that's really smart!

Good grief. Sorry Granny.
