Is she inhaling?
--Previous Message--
: I've had a number of
: interesting developments
: with regards to my wife
: & smoking.
: Essentially, it all
: started when we had a
: frank, open conversation
: after watching a show on
: TV about smoking. This
: was about two months
: ago.
:
: She had never expressed
: positive views about
: smoking in front of me
: before.
:
: She joked that watching
: that show "made me
: want a cigarette".
: Of course, hearing that
: got me *very*
: intrigued... now I
: should probably give you
: a bit of background.
:
: I've always come across
: as anti-smoking in the
: past, and I do
: acknowledge some of the
: problems smoking can
: cause. However, my wife
: assumed when we first
: met that I didn't want
: to date a smoker. She
: did not smoke regularly
: but occasionally enjoyed
: a cigarette at a party
: (not inhaling), or
: enjoyed smoking a clove
: (not inhaling).
:
: As the night progressed,
: we talked about other
: things, and eventually I
: asked her if she
: actually did want to
: smoke a cigarette that
: very night. She laughed
: and said she was just
: joking and wondered why
: I asked such a thing. I
: said I was simply
: curious, as I'd never
: imagined her smoking
: before (which is not
: true -- I'd imagined it
: plenty of times -- I'd
: just never imagined it
: actually could happen!)
:
: I learned her favourite
: brand is Djarum Blacks;
: she also occasionally
: smoked Newports but
: didn't really like them,
: and prefers smoking
: cloves. She also liked
: Djarum Cherry.
:
: We went to a 24-hour
: 7-Eleven. She assumed
: all they would have were
: normal cigarettes, and I
: was pretty excited about
: the idea of her buying
: some. She went to the
: counter herself and
: asked "do you have
: Djarums?" and ended
: up with a pack of Djarum
: specials. She hadn't
: tried these before, but
: figured, why not?
:
: I was surprised by
: myself, in that while I
: was hoping she'd end up
: with a pack of regular
: cigarettes, I was even
: happier that she'd
: gotten the brand she
: wanted and would be more
: likely to enjoy.
:
: We went to a 24-hour
: coffee shop, ordered
: chai lattes, and then
: sat outside. I watched
: her light up with
: matches, since she
: didn't have a lighter!
:
: I'd never really
: imagined her smoking
: cloves, but found it
: actually intriguing to
: watch. One thing I
: really enjoyed was that
: she said she really
: liked the taste of the
: cloves -- very rich yet
: smooth, very tasty. She
: took what looked like
: pretty enjoyable puffs,
: exhaling quickly, since
: she chooses not to
: inhale cloves.
:
: She said she didn't care
: about smoking and could
: "take it or leave
: it"; she assumed I
: didn't want her to
: smoke. I told her she
: could do whatever she
: wanted to and it's fine
: with me if she smokes on
: any occasion she wants
: to. She said she'd
: probably smoke once or
: twice a month, when she
: feels like it.
:
: Since then her pack of
: 20 is down to 15. While
: she enjoys the specials,
: she's said she likes
: Djarum Blacks better, so
: I'll be trying to pick
: up some of those (if I
: can still find them
: anywhere).
:
: When she smoked the 2nd
: cigarette a few weeks
: later, I noticed a few
: minutes after she'd
: finished it that she had
: another cigarette in her
: hand. I asked her why,
: and she just said,
: "I just feel like
: enjoying smoking another
: one." I briefly
: thought that a longer
: cigarette might be right
: for her!
:
: She pretty much figured
: out by the time she'd
: finished the 4th
: cigarette that I like
: watching her smoke, but
: she didn't say anything.
: Most recently, I asked
: her to smoke before the
: night before she needed
: to go on a trip.
:
: She asked me, "Do
: you like watching me
: smoke?" and I said
: "Yes." She
: told me she thought I
: did, and would be happy
: to smoke for me. While
: she smoked, she asked
: why I liked it and we
: had an interesting
: conversation about why I
: enjoy watching her
: smoke.
:
: We also had a very
: positive experience when
: a friend of ours at a
: party invited us to go
: to a hookah bar -- she'd
: always wanted to try it
: but never had. In the
: past, she would have
: never thought I would
: want her to do such a
: thing, but she asked me
: if we could go and I
: said "Sure."
:
: While I didn't enjoy
: watching her smoke a
: hookah as much as I do
: cigarettes, I did enjoy
: seeing how much she
: enjoyed the smoke -- she
: said the flavour was
: excellent and the smoke
: was very cool and
: smooth. She also
: inhaled! She said it's
: the only way to really
: get the full taste of
: the hookah smoke. After
: about a one-hour hookah
: session, we went home; I
: asked her how she felt
: and she said smoking the
: hookah was incredibly
: relaxing and she'd like
: to do it again sometime.
:
: Once again, I found that
: what I liked the most
: was the thought of her
: really enjoying using a
: tobacco product, both
: for the taste of the
: flavoured tobacco and
: also for the relaxing
: effect on her of
: inhaling the smoke.
: (Catching a whiff of her
: hookah exhales doesn't
: smell bad at all,
: either!)
:
: At this point, I'd like
: ideas on what to do
: next; please see my
: related post about
: suggested brands. (I do
: know I need to make sure
: I buy or she buys a box
: of Djarum Blacks as soon
: as possible -- across
: the border, if we have
: to!)
:
: If anyone would like to
: chat, look me up on
: Yahoo as campania100. I
: would especially enjoy
: hearing from other
: husbands whose
: wives/girlfriends smoke,
: but just for them. My
: wife is someone who
: doesn't seem interested
: in smoking regularly,
: but just likes to do it
: every now and then, and
: mostly because she knows
: I enjoy watching her do
: it.
:
: Thanks for reading!
