How Does A Blind Person Start Smoking & Light A Cigarette?

Tommy, who was born blind, responds to questions about his experience smoking cigarettes until he quit on January 2, 2006. Tommy talks about how and why he began smoking, how he would light a cigarette, how he knew when it was finished, if he could determine the difference between brands of cigarettes, and how he quit smoking.

    I spent over a decade as a hardcore alcoholic, waiting for the next drink. Did AA a few times, hated it, went back to drinking. Watched this video, got some hope, and delayed that "important" drink as long as I could. I've now been sober for 4 days, which is the longest I've made it since turning 21, and I plan on keeping it up. Thank you, Tommy. I'll let you know when I hit a month.

It doesn't make me feel lucky for having sight, it makes me feel lacking in the humility and good humour that this Tommy tackles his life with. We all need a lot more of what this guy has and the world will be a happier place.

    @@opluxna2120 This was no longer a thing when I was in 8th grade, but we had a smoky teacher's lounge, too. I only went there a couple of times, but if you had messed up, it was a way to avoid getting chewed out. Go to the teacher's lounge, confess, and for some reason, he won't chew you out in the presence of everybody else. While we were definitely not allowed to smoke on school grounds, some teachers would ask a student for a light once in a while. It was a ruse. I remember teachers doing this when we were in 7th grade, in fact. "Got a light, kid?" -- "Sure do, Mr. Stevens, Sir." (Lights teacher's cigarette.) -- "Smoker, eh?" While they enjoyed seeing the reaction on part of the student (ranging from embarrassment to pride) they were never shocked. They knew that kids smoke. They did it themselves. Children are curious and the temptation to try a cigarette is strong, even if you're usually one of the good kids. It's addictive and, to be honest, sort of enjoyable. Many ex-smokers pretend they never enjoyed smoking, but I think what they really hated was being addicted and the prospect of dying a horrible death -- and getting shamed for it because you "brought in on yourself".

    I know what you mean. I quit cold turkey almost 4 years ago. Have zero desire to smoke again, and usually when I smell someone smoking it smells gross. But every once in a while, especially if they are smoking American Spirits (which I smoked) I miss it. I think more because the brain creates such strong ties to smells, and somewhere deep in my brain that smell is associated with the endorphin release smoking gives.

Many kids would start smoking at 13... my mother fortunately never smoked though.
