    I gave up on smoking as well, but gave the first episode a try. If there’s one thing I can praise it for, it absolutely truly does not glamorize smoking.

      Honestly what I’m scared of is if I watch this anime it may give me cravings to smoke again haha. Usually you know someone lights up in a movie or whatever no problem, I can handle it in real life too, but if this anime is about smoking non stop, like chain smoking (what I used to do) then I fear it may be a tad much for my brain to handle.

        The first episode has a scene where the main girl drops a bunch of cigarettes in actual shit and she decides to “clean them off” so she can still smoke them. There’s also a scene where she digs through her trash to find a “soggy cig” that she smokes and gets sick from

          sounds like the type of shit i woulda done when i was still a smoker. so i’m good to avoid it. not saying i won’t watch it ever, but maybe its a wise choice for me to hold it off just a few more years till i’m stronger in my not smoking. i didn’t pull them out of actual shit, but yeah i have had moments where i had to go ashtray fishing in my ashtray, unwrap them, and roll new smokes with them just because it was a sunday and i was out of tobacco. and yes, that is as disgusting as it sounds, it tastes horrible.

            No dude, I get you. Just because it doesn’t glamorize it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t trigger some weird fucked up sense of nostalgia. You’re right to stay away if you’re concerned.
