If you smoke, quitting is the number one thing you can do to improve your physical and mental health. Nicotine worsens anxiety and depression long-term by disrupting dopamine signaling in your brain. In the US you can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit Lung.org for free evidence-based resources to help with quitting.

I didn't know you can use letters as phone number and call it.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This is the most Zoomer comment I've ever seen

[–] wieson@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The practice of using the T9-letters to memorise a phone number is just not done much outside the USA

[–] Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Even referring to them as “T9-letters” is a massive neologism. Those letters have been on telephones going all the way back to the very first rotary phones when you were first allowed to dial a number yourself without talking to an operator. Before, you’d tell the operator you wanted “Wabash 3 - 1234” and they’d connect you to number 1234 on the Wabash 3 exchange. To dial that same number when the dial telephone came around, you would dial WA3-1234, or 923-1234.

Here’s a great film from 1940 introducing people to the idea of dialing on a telephone and explaining how to use the letters: Internet Archive Link

Yep I know about it from American media but never seen this done anywhere else that I know of (and I know how to type T9).

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

As certainly not a zoomer I can safely say I'm glad they are gone, nothing is more annoying than those letters.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It corresponds to 1-800-784-8669

Nice, never heard of someone using letters on phone numbers. I did used to send text messages like this.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh! I assumed you were too young to have known about texting like that. I forgot that that marketing style isn't very common outside the states. They're called vanity phone numbers btw

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

This makes me feel old.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What did you think the letters on the number buttons were for? Nostalgia?

[–] Una@europe.pub 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I suppose if you're young enough you wouldn't have known landline phones had the letters, too. 🤔

[–] Una@europe.pub 2 points 1 week ago

I know, still have 2 but rarely use them.

Thank you mushrooms, for teaching me that both my happiness and my anxieties are based on the made up stories I tell myself.

[–] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And at your lowest, when there was only a single set of footprints and a cloud of smoke, that's when I carried you.

Are we accepting ads from a diying industry now?

[–] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Dying? It currently makes a bit of a comeback because of the Vapes and what not. And those Vapes apparently make traditional smoking also "cool" again.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

They also make a good drinking buddy.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Cigarettes are all about maximizing quality of life over quantity of life.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not for the people who don't smoke that get affected.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is a difference between enjoying a smoke and being a rude idiot that is inconsiderate of others.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Literally everyone in my country will essentially force you to inhale secondhand smoke. They have no mercy. There are laws, but never enforced.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I wonder what the smallest squirt bottle you can get is.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah....copd, emphysema and heart disease are what we think of when we think of super great quality of life.

Quitting is so hard, I wish I was never exposed to it.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nothing beats sitting in a hot tub naked, with a cig , whiskey and watching the sun rise.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

yeah nothing beats enjoying nature while replacing breathable air with tar smoke

[–] swab148@startrek.website 7 points 1 week ago

This guy gets it

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Post is about smoking a cig though? You miss that?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

what do you think I'm talking about

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Check your privilege. Vampires can't do this.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They enshitified American Spirits. I will never forget.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Must've enshittified before I started smoking; they've always been shit IMO.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They burned slower and tasted different before Philip Morris bought them.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean Reynolds American?

Which ever sack of crap in a suite soaked my tobacco in accelerant
