^^ to be clear, I don’t smoke. But I’m appreciative of the person on Flickr who told me to stop….

That's great light, which is what makes b&w images really click. When I saw this I thought either it had to be an old shot or that it was taken somewhere in Europe. Then I read in your caption that it was taken in Switzerland. I can't remember the last time I saw an ash tray on a table in the US.
Cheers,

Yeah, sadly there is a lot of smoking here… and it’s a pity when you go out to eat and want to have a nice meal outside. We often will ask to sit inside even when it is great weather just to get away from the smoke.

The light was wonderful that afternoon.

I smoked until I was in my mid-30s. One day my wife told me she wasn't going to invest herself emotionally in someone who didn't care enough about his own health to not smoke. I never lit up again.

I never smoked but I applaud all those who did and stopped!

Yes..I have not seen an ashtray in so long anywhere Brent!

Vapping seems to be the "hit" now!

That photo is so cool! I’m also passionate about photography and love capturing moments in unique ways. There’s something special about finding the perfect angle or light that really brings a shot to life. Whether it’s landscape photography or candid street shots, I enjoy experimenting with different styles and techniques.

I used to smoke as well, but I found that switching to a vape helped me feel much better overall. Vaping typically has fewer harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes, and you can control the nicotine levels, which can make it easier to reduce your dependence over time. Plus, many vapes come in a variety of flavors, making the experience more enjoyable without the harshness of smoke. By addressing your need for a smoking break with a healthier alternative, like vaping, you can still take those moments to relax without compromising your well-being. If you’re considering making the switch, you might want to check out for some great options!
