He’s
gottaquit smokingThanks @pelley@lemmy.world
He did.
Pretty sure that dude smoked for like 76 years straight.
Came out of the womb and bummed a smoke off the doc.
I gotta say, I totally get where he’s coming from. I was a smoker for 15 years, including straight through art school, and I loved everything about it. It’s a ritual, and it was part of what helped me work creatively.
…Until I started waking up coughing in the morning.
It’s been about a decade since I last had a cigarette. My risks of lung cancer, COPD, and chronic emphysema are nearly back down to baseline levels. But even now cigarettes, cigars, and pipes smell amazing to me. If it wasn’t for the fact that they would absolutely kill me (and weren’t so goddamn expensive, thanks Obama), I’d start right up again. (OTOH, I try to run now, and that’s not really compatible with smoking.)
Wishing you the best of luck in your health journey.
Pipe smokers live, on average, longer than non smokers. May be socioeconomic, may be the relaxation.
Pipe smoke isn’t inhaled into the lungs.
I use an ecig for my nicotine addiction, and pipes for tobacco enjoyment. The occasional cigar as a guilty pleasure.
Anyhow, pipe smoking isn’t like the others. There is a learning curve.
Sad to hear that. I don’t see much of this work, but I do love Twin Peaks tho!
I read in your other comment, that you didn’t finish Mulholland Drive.
If you get the chance, don’t sleep on Blue Velvet or Wild at Heart. These two were made just before Twin Peaks. They have a lot of the kind of mystery, mood and juxtaposition present in Twin Peaks. Their soundtracks were also by Angelo Balalamenti, you can hear how the cooperation with David Lynch led to the music in Twin Peaks.
Specially Blue Velvet, since Kyle also stars in it and it even shares a song with Twin Peaks.
Then fuckin’ watch all of Mulholland Drive
Fix your lungs or die. But seriously, that’s a bummer. Love his work, movies, music, etc., and it seems like he’s a genuinely good person and good to work with.
This sucks to hear. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time now.
