For sure. I stopped smoking 3 weeks ago though so I'm looking forward to seeing a hygienist to get them a bit whiter and brighter in the new year
I lucked out and only had one wisdom tooth grow in the first place (insert joke about low Wisdom stats here) but the one that did grow came in all fuckity and had to be removed.
they gave me hydrocodone for pain afterwards, and that was how I discovered hydrocodone makes me violently vomit. barf in my fresh, deep gumcrater.
well thats a shift. Hows it going with that. Probably one of the best thing you can do for yourself.

First time I quit and had a hacking cough after so it's a good time to stop I guess. Going just fine. Its not hard to stop smoking after a couple weeks. It's when stressful events happen that it's hard not to pick it up again.
im happy you quit smoking especially with your long jazzy covids and stuff
My 2 rearmost lower wisdom teeth grew in at a forward angle. Looks like something in the neighborhood of 50-60 degrees on an x-ray. Meaning the roots are planted in that corner where your jawbone takes a turn from kinda horizontal to more vertical to go up into your head and the teeth grow in as much forward as they do up.

Yeah, it's a net gain I suppose. Plus financially the tax on the things is just forcing people out of smoking really. If you smoked a pack a day and were on minimum wages you'd have to spend a third of your income on them!

I quit 20 + years ago
Smokes were $2.50 a pack then
Theyre over 10 bucks now
Thats too much to pay for something thats just killing you slowly

It's up to about £16 ($21) a pack now I think. I wasn't buying actual cigs but that's almost £6k a year for a pack a day habit
i can’t wrap my head around spending a third of my income on cigarettes cuz they are so gross to me
but then again i used to spend close to $1000+ on opiates per month when i was at the height of my addiction

yeah, people do lots of things that don't make sense. I, for example, pay more than $500 a month to have health insurance that covers roughly jack and shit before I pay another $3000 to hit my deductible (or $8000 to hit the out of pocket maximum for my whole family).
part of how they getcha with it is that most people are only buying a few packs at a time, so even though it is still expensive either way, it doesn't hit HOW expensive it is unless you sit down and look at how much you're spending over an extended time, like per pay period. at the point of sale you're like "damn, that's a lot." but only when you do The Math does it hit just HOW a lot it is
