Man, that on-the-nose anti-smoking humor in 2024… So fucking fresh and edgy.
“Just give me a plastic bottle of water.”
“Just give me a plastic bottle of water.”
Alright, that will be 4 bottles of water, anything else?
“Just give me a plastic bottle of water.”
“Just give me a plastic bottle of water.”
Do the ninja also litter and make my breath smell like shit? Because that sounds really good.
not your breath, but your entire existence. i can smell a smoker who just walks nearby. some from quite a distance. they’re disgusting.
Is there some kind of accelerated program I can join
The “you’ll feel worse and worse” part is pretty blatantly ignoring the endorphin rush that exists here. Like yes you may feel worse on the level, but it’s accentuated with moments of feeling pretty damn great, which seems disingenuous to ignore.
I’m not even a smoker, and I was happy as hell when I parents quit smoking, but let’s not pretend the choice is as simple as “poison or no poison” without any tangible upsides.
I wonder if the artist used coffee for a reason?
Perhaps, and I’ll admit this is overthinking a silly comic, but it seems to me that the coffee is a given assumption and it is only the addition of poison which is variable, so I think any implications of the coffee are entirely incidental
Just never go into a convenience store. Aside from the sparse selection of fruit everything else there is bad for you. Tobacco, energy drinks, shitty snack food, lotto tickets. The only convenience is an early release from your mortal coil.
You all simply don’t know the incredible sensation of a ninja poisoning your coffee right after sex.
Was the ninja there before, during or after the sex? What exactly was his participation? Did he have ninja credentials?
In the UK, for a pack-a-day smoker, that’s more like $140 a week.
That’s the thing - the other service is cheaper!
Yeah but imagine if the ninjas also gave handjobs
420 life
Are we talking silky-smooth succulent hands, or those of a construction worker who doesn’t buy 30 grit sandpaper because he always carries his own brand?
And then they slowly feel worse and die?
TIL, I’m a ninja
Not me! I’ll take a pack of this Chewlie’s gum right here.

$40 a day for a heavy smoker here.
Wow that’s insane, even if it’s “just” about $20 in USD for the cheapest packs at $30 NZD.
in Austria you can still get them for around 6 bucks. i recently got a pack in Macedonia for €2.50
Basically prepaying your chemo.
Are the taxes even earmarked to healthcare?
No, that’s just what I say to people who gripe about it.
No silly, it’s your lungs and heart, not your ears
Wow! Is there a big black market for cigarettes in NZ? And have these prices lead to a lower consumption?
Yes to both, it has unfortunately led to an increase in crime, because they’re so readily stolen. It has definitely led to a decrease in smoking as well, as a lot of smokers quit for financial reasons.
It’s perfectly legal to grow your own, interestingly enough, but not many people do.
Growing it isn’t easy. Also you need to dry them a long time.
buries like 20 cigarettes
sprays water on the mound
by spring I’ll be rolling in the dough!
When the filter tree grows instead of the nicotine plant you’ll be looking a fool
Not really a black market for cigarettes here but you can grow your own tobacco legally if you really want to go down that road. Smoking tobacco in younger generations is very rare but vaping on the other hand is very popular. The government was touting a “smokefree by X” date that kept moving back as the dates came closer.
When I stopped smoking more than 10 years ago I immediately had a surplus of 300 EUR free cash per month. Two packs a day at 5 EUR per pack at that time.
Being healthier, not stinking like a wet ash tray and having more and better sex are other features of stopping smoking.
How did stopping smoking lead to getting to have sex?
More active, more attractive, more fun with harder boner*.
*Seriously. Smoking does something with your blood flow that does not help with erections.
Nicotine constricts blood vessels, and since boners need blood flow it will be harder to get hard, and if you do you won’t get as hard.
