I am seriously considering taking it up—smoking! (Let me explain): I am middle aged. For the past ten years (since April of 2011), I have been bombarded with second-hand smoke so thick you cannot even think; let alone breathe. And while, depending on the locale (in the first half-decade, I moved 3 times: all various sized apt (large bldgs. where everybody smoked on the fire escapes and got a good view of the lake), or just out their windows! To duplexes. I now reside in a home and have been here for 5 years - my family owns it, so I can’t move — not that that’s done much! You can scout the place in advance, and then someone else neighbor wise can just move in, and completed change your outlook. What I would say I have been subjected to is nearly 100% second hand smoke at night , and a minimum of 75% during the day, depending on the place I lived. Where I currently reside, I have 4 guys in their 30’s immediately next to me (maybe 10 ft tops!), all who smoke something different—cigs/vape/pot. None of them seem to work - or if they do - they don’t have to leave the home. On the other side of them is two more Chain Smokers, followed by 4 on the other side of that (3 doors down). Up the way—the other next door, is 3-4 chain smokers who also are up all night wandering around their yard smoking. They don’t seem to work, either. Further down the road from the m a lot of folks that smoke wander on down toward my property to stand and smoke while looking out at the intersection / road. They litter my Sid e yard, car, mailbox, garage & etc with their waste, that piles up on the daily (or nightly). So it’s very much in the vain, or camp of, “if you can’t beat them, join ‘em!” I give up after a decade of choking in my sleep, eating in the smoking section for every single meal day of night. And having the resounding “whoosh!” of smoke come washing off my body / hair & skin when I first get into the shower. It’s so disgusting. I used to spend upward of $50-75 per week on air freshening supplies — none of which did a darn thing to combat the overwhelming concentration of what’s going on inside my house. You could hold your finger down on an aerosol bottle spray if Lysol for say 15 seconds, and get maybe 15 minutes of relief, in bed at night, before tha t gets overpowered again. I’m thinking non-filters; “straights,” if that’s what they’re called . I don’t have time to mess around . . ;^)) —maybe I can win rant of the year for this one (e/t it’s not guitar, related per se!): what it does do, is make you play pi**ed off, 99.9% of the time. Which is something I’ve definitely never done before this all began.
