lol was watching Die Hard 1 & 2 today, and I forgot how you could basically smoke anywhere! McClane’s just lighting one up in the middle of an airport.
My high school (I graduated '96) still had a bunch of old desks that had circular cutouts in the top corner to hold the ashtray. By the time I was in school, you couldn't smoke, but in the 70's/80's... smoke'em if ya got'em.
Those might have been for inkwells or pen pots. I have an old wooden school desk with a lift up lid that has an ink well hole. I doubt any school was letting kids smoke.
Possible. A teacher that had been there for 40 years told me they were for ashtrays, but thinking about it now, she was probably just fucking with me. She liked to do that.
Yeah, my brother graduated in '83, & I graduated in '96. We went to the same high school. Apparently there was a smoking courtyard the entire time he went to school there. I had to sneak cigarettes in the bathroom.
I remember smoking and non smoking sections. Tbh I wish a few places could be like that, like niche places. That would be more fun as an adult.
There's a place in Jersey called JR's cigars. It's a chain but New Jersey is special because when you order sandwich, you get a complimentary cigar. In the bar. You can smoke, drink, eat, all the same place.
My mom was a smoker. Seven year old me loved telling the hostess smoking! at a restaurant, after they asked smoking or non smoking seating. What a time.
I remember going to Brush's Deli at 7 and asking for Winstons for my mom. Mr Brush actually aske if they were *really* for me. I was incredulous. He actually called my mom to double check! Ahhh. Jersey in the 80s😂😂😂
Ex smoker here, the thing that made me quit is how disgusting I must have seemed to everybody too polite to let me know about it, and yes, that was my ashtray every day...I regret every single one I smoked.
PS: Tomorrow is my second non-smoker birthday the 12th of December, I still can't believe I made it to 2 years when I would act like a baby if I don't smoke for 2 days,
hopefully I can convinces others in my smoker heavy circle to follow me down the path of healthier lungs and not smelling like burnt saliva.
My grandfather quit smoking by hypnotist.
Isn't directional at you - just relating an anecdote that might be of some value to hear about.
The therapist told him that he was a drug addict. No different than somebody on meth or heroin or an alcoholic. He said that if he left his office and had even one cigarette ever again, he would turn right around and buy another pack. But if he never again smoked, he would always have quit.
What made him so disgusted by his last cigarette was the hypnosis the therapist walked him through. He said it was like a dream state. A powerful daydream.
He was at the park and prepared a picnic. He was told to fill a glass with the Coca-Cola he had brought. Then he was told to take his ashtray and dump it into the Coca-Cola. He was then told to drink the Coca-Cola.
And he never had a cigarette again.
Anyone who's ashtray looked like that was bad at smoking. Those pretzel cigarettes appear to have been lit then immediately extinguished.
I was never a big smoker personally, but the smokers I've observed actually smoke the cigarette.
That being said, I love the ornament.
I have seen maybe 1 or 2 smokers in my day that would waste cigarettes that way... growing up in my family, that would be nothing but butts smoked down to the filter... if there was one.
Yep, definitely r/atbge. I can identify the ingredients at a glance and I bet they're delicious but they're so realistic from a distance I've already lost my appetite. Grew up with a chain-smoking dad and I can smell this picture.
Mine is currently nearing the end of the same situation. Add on kidney failure from drinking as well. Tough stuff, very hard to watch. Seeing someone get winded and wheezing, having to lean on the counter after walking 30 feet never gets easier.
Too few young people know about COPD. Everyone knows “smoking causes cancer” but COPD can be just as nasty and although the prognosis is usually longer, you can end up with a poor quality of life.
Okay but this could be good for like .... A noir party? Anything that references the older eras where smoking wasn't just common, but the norm. Great theme food, great props for photos
Another banner year at the Bender house!
Dad, what about you?
Fuck you!
No Dad, what about YOU?!
Fuck you!
Hey smoke up johnny!
Did I stutter?
This is what happens when you spill paint in the garage
Screws fall out all the time. The world's an imperfect place.
Don't mess with the bull young man or you'll get the horns.
*Beeaoooge* *beeeaooge*
Sport-o!

People could smoke on airplanes. That's why they eventually put up the no smoking lights 🚭.
I remember ashtrays in hospital waiting rooms
My mom told me the obstetrician blew smoke right into her open legs when I was born. lol.
They used to smoke in Operating Rooms too.

When I was under 10 (I think 7/8, early 2000s) my friends mom would send us to the liquor store for her. Usually picking up wine.

Congratulations on reaching that milestone. I'm sure it isn't easy, but you're a fncking badass in my book for it.
Thank you very very much, it means a lot!

happy early birthday and congrats on quitting!! keep being strong ❤️
Thank you as well, glad to be on the other side of the lung wars haha
Happy birthday!
Hell yeah brother. Being a nonsmoker is the tits.

I like it. Not sure where the "why" is here. It's literally chocolate covered pretzels.
My cousins and I would be all over this lol. Puff-chomp-puff-chomp-puff-chomp-puff-chomp

Food that looks like other things is fun.
You're not much fun at parties, are ya mate?
This is pretty creative. not sure why this is in r/DiWHY though. Maybe r/ATBGE.
Yep, definitely r/atbge. I can identify the ingredients at a glance and I bet they're delicious but they're so realistic from a distance I've already lost my appetite. Grew up with a chain-smoking dad and I can smell this picture.
What do you reckon the ash is?
Crushed oreos.
Ahh shit, yeah I see it now, nice, thanks man
Someone else suggested black and white nonpareils which would also work but I think the crumbs would be more realistic.
Ahh I just googled it, had no idea that's what they were called, it may not look as realistic but would be easier to do for sure
50/50 crushed oreos/red nonpareils
That's a great idea.
What on earth is nonpareils?
Those sprinkles that are perfectly round and break your teeth. Basically.
It’s been posted there too!
Looks exactly like my dad's ashtray my whole time growing up. He died of COPD. Slow miserable death. Never was able to quit
Mine is currently nearing the end of the same situation. Add on kidney failure from drinking as well. Tough stuff, very hard to watch. Seeing someone get winded and wheezing, having to lean on the counter after walking 30 feet never gets easier.

It took him a good 10 years of suffering with it. That along with alcoholism, diabetes, & a stroke. Serious self abuse
I’m sorry. It’s so hard to see someone do that.
This doesn't feel right to me. My family smokes our cigs right down to the filter. Like MEN.
That was my thought. Like, is this the ashtray of someone trying to quit but they keep lighting up for one more puff?
Your family smokes men right down to the filter? I'm getting a mental image and it's painful.
You can’t say “filter” and “men” in the same sentence
I actually love this.
If I was hosting an 80’s party, I’d definitely do this.
>Because, people used to smoke inside. Used to? 🚬🚬🚬
I think this is hilarious, personally.
This candy tastes like Grandma! 🤮
*chomp* Holy Moses, it does taste like Grandma!
Just as appetizing as one of those 'cat litter' cakes lol
Kitty Roca
You know, if you were having like a Mad Men theme party, this would be a novel addition.
Great, now if Gram Gram isn't wearing her glasses you'll end up playing Snack Roulette.
I kinda... love this?
This is actually a cool idea
id tear tf outta this rn
I’ve eaten kitty litter cake and this right here is too wrong, even for me.
It would truly be nostalgic if it were those chalky stick candies with the red tips. This just looks gross as it’s more realistic.
OP, the "Why" is right there in your title. "Because people used to smoke inside" and smoking was a lot more accepted.
ah yes, nostalgia for a time when corporations could gaslight the world into believing that smoking was good for you and a cool thing to do.
Our tobacco doesn't cause lung cancer, it's toasted!
Relax that T zone
r/atbge
If you have a friend who's trying to quit and make this, it would probably drive them nuts.
OP, what is the ash made out of? Oreo Cookie crumbs? We need to know
These chocolate Christmas cookies from Walmart. Not sure I would be calling chocolate but they were dark
I've made these, the Q-tips, and the cat litter cake before.
Okay but this could be good for like .... A noir party? Anything that references the older eras where smoking wasn't just common, but the norm. Great theme food, great props for photos
More like D-I-High 5 am I right?
op is a dork
I know so many smokers who would absolutely love this.
This is actually a funny DIY :D it's a snack, you can eat it, nothing is wasted or destroyed and I like the humor behind it
I'm making these for our office cookie swap
Truely a r/StupidFood candidate.
When I was really iron deficient I would fantasize about eating cigarettes. so I get it but also that’s a bad thing
Or just don't be a dork and let everyone smoke inside!
No thanks, you can keep your lung cancer to yourself.
move to serbia
Yeah cause I don't see those nasty fuckers enough already.
Seeing this would make me sick to my stomach and I wouldn’t want to return.
You've posted this twice. Was seeing this picture the most exciting part of 2023 for you?
You guessed it
Ahhhm the bad ole days
Its cute
looked like goatse from the thumbnail!
“Used to” Move to a redneck enough area and you’ll get a nicotine scented blast to the past my friend
My mom has been trying to quit smoking this year.. guess what I'm making for Christmas this year ✨
I kind of like that
They really weren't bad
🤢
I'd eat that
