The girl I worked with was cutting down on her smoking by weaning herself off Capstan Full Strength and onto Marlboroughs. She was a chain smoker and there was a strange transition period where she'd light a Capstan from the tab of a Marlborough.Kevin Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472110857057175327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-72889894034004217662010-06-19T06:20:27.583-07:002010-06-19T06:20:27.583-07:00I recall the person opposite me smoking at work - ...I recall the person opposite me smoking at work - seems almost incredible now.

I was sure to go do some Saturday work and go visit them and ask if everything was okay. They thought I had some authority or something because I always was able to scam some good old home vittles. Especially when you could smell the curry wisping through the halls.<br /><br />In the far far north it was seal head stew. The name gives you some idea of the main seasoning ingredient. But you had to be chief or better to get at the stewed head.Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-26221191813113651892010-06-18T11:19:47.980-07:002010-06-18T11:19:47.980-07:00“Fish heads and dandelions"...certainly an od...“Fish heads and dandelions"...certainly an odd combination, but I'm with you...I'd rather smell that than the putrid smell of cigarette smoke :DSam Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014838954712295981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-80075191498733036122010-06-18T08:55:28.360-07:002010-06-18T08:55:28.360-07:00I remember when you visited the doctor's offic...I remember when you visited the doctor's office and shared the ashtray on his desk. yep, even the doctors' smoked in their offices. I'm happy to be a non smoker now and though I don't necessarily have the craving any longer, I still miss it but only in the sense of comradarie....and as a reward for getting something done. I would say "when I finish this I'll have a cigarette". No rewards now so I just quit doing anything at all!Charlotte Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762833712591904951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-42037585496251530682010-06-18T08:12:00.508-07:002010-06-18T08:12:00.508-07:00Oh man!

Then they banned smoking the next month. Having never smoked aside from down by the lake with my buddies that day, I am glad they did away with it. But thats me. Oddly enuff tho they never got around to banning the fish head stew our resident asian seemed to enjoy entirely way to much.Simply Suthernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057516546779066925noreply@blogger.com
