If you smoke, quitting is the number one thing you can do to improve your physical and mental health. Nicotine worsens anxiety and depression long-term by disrupting dopamine signaling in your brain. In the US you can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit Lung.org for free evidence-based resources to help with quitting.
I didn’t know you can use letters as phone number and call it.
This is the most Zoomer comment I’ve ever seen
The practice of using the T9-letters to memorise a phone number is just not done much outside the USA
Even referring to them as “T9-letters” is a massive neologism. Those letters have been on telephones going all the way back to the very first rotary phones when you were first allowed to dial a number yourself without talking to an operator. Before, you’d tell the operator you wanted “Wabash 3 - 1234” and they’d connect you to number 1234 on the Wabash 3 exchange. To dial that same number when the dial telephone came around, you would dial WA3-1234, or 923-1234.
Here’s a great film from 1940 introducing people to the idea of dialing on a telephone and explaining how to use the letters: Internet Archive Link
Yep I know about it from American media but never seen this done anywhere else that I know of (and I know how to type T9).

It corresponds to 1-800-784-8669
Nice, never heard of someone using letters on phone numbers. I did used to send text messages like this.
Oh! I assumed you were too young to have known about texting like that. I forgot that that marketing style isn’t very common outside the states. They’re called vanity phone numbers btw
This makes me feel old.
And at your lowest, when there was only a single set of footprints and a cloud of smoke, that’s when I carried you.

Thank you, fentanyl. ❤️
Thank you, dilaudid. 💞
Thank you ethanol.
Thank you mushrooms, for teaching me that both my happiness and my anxieties are based on the made up stories I tell myself.
Cigarettes are all about maximizing quality of life over quantity of life.
Not for the people who don’t smoke that get affected.
There is a difference between enjoying a smoke and being a rude idiot that is inconsiderate of others.
Literally everyone in my country will essentially force you to inhale secondhand smoke. They have no mercy. There are laws, but never enforced.
I wonder what the smallest squirt bottle you can get is.
Yeah…copd, emphysema and heart disease are what we think of when we think of super great quality of life.

Nothing beats sitting in a hot tub naked, with a cig , whiskey and watching the sun rise.
yeah nothing beats enjoying nature while replacing breathable air with tar smoke
This guy gets it
Post is about smoking a cig though? You miss that?
what do you think I’m talking about
Check your privilege. Vampires can’t do this.
They also make a good drinking buddy.
Are we accepting ads from a diying industry now?
Dying? It currently makes a bit of a comeback because of the Vapes and what not. And those Vapes apparently make traditional smoking also “cool” again.
Quitting is so hard, I wish I was never exposed to it.
They enshitified American Spirits. I will never forget.
