Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]I quit smoking 17 years ago and um I was like who starts smoking like who actually like who starts anymore or who smokes anymore? Um I I am I've been dating someone for the last few months that smoked when we met and now he like has a nicotine patch on all the time.

[00:00:22]>> Good.

[00:00:22]>> Yeah. So I met people that I >> Well, you weren't going to stick your tongue down somebody's >> No. No. I told him. I told him. It tastes like an ashtray.

[00:00:30]>> The first time we kissed, I said, "Oh, do you smoke?" And he said, "Yeah." And I'm like, "That's not going to work like for me longterm. Like that's not" And he like that that guy slept a patch on that night. Never looked back for him.

[00:00:42]>> So he li he loves you.

[00:00:44]>> Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[00:00:45]>> Yeah, he does.

[00:00:46]>> Yeah. You think? But I mean, >> ABSOLUTELY. GAVE UP SMOKING FOR YOU.

[00:00:51]>> Smoking is bad for you. You should give it up. It's sort of like >> How long was he smoking for? H long time, decades.

[00:00:59]>> He gave up smoking for you. It doesn't matter if it was a bad It was bad before he met you.

[00:01:04]>> Well, he gave up smoking for you.

[00:01:14]That's a guy here. Let me help you out.

[00:01:16]That's a guy who is the complete opposite of someone that leaves the house and never comes back.

[00:01:25]>> Yes. Right.

[00:01:26]>> I was looking for the complete opposite.

[00:01:28]>> That's and that's what you found.

[00:01:30]>> Yeah, that's true. But I do think so. I think that cigarettes for like probably the last like 20 years or 15 years have like an ick factor. And I think alcohol is developing that ick factor. Do you see it? like >> I think that the kids I think that the kids today are less apt to drink and use than before uh than when we were kids. Um I think a lot of that has to do with the crisis and everybody overdosing due to the street drugs all being laced with all. So I think that not just obviously what I do and what you do and what you know there's a gazillion of these podcasts now everybody everybody has to have an opinion right but what the good part about that is is that there's so much content out there on every platform talking about you know um is dangerous it's killing our kids you know and it's scaring the [ __ ] out of people which is good okay because it's keeping people alive and it's saving a lot of
