I'm worried I have cancer, but no support system
Alright, so, this might sound silly to some, but here goes, right? Please, those reading, don't lecture me on how bad smoking is. I know how bad it is. Clearly.
I've been smoking since I was twelve years old. I have had a shit life, horrible family, yada yada yada. I'm 29, turning 30 on the fifteenth that's coming up. I've already been majorly fucking depressed, had the flu over the last two weeks nearly. The cherry on top is the rough patch of peeling pale tissue on my inner cheek, and some other markings in my mouth.
Those might be benign, who knows, but I haven't felt alright in a long time. Best pain, off and on sleep irregularities. Breathing difficulties, the whole nine. When I first started smoking. I used to chainsmoke. Two packs a day sometimes, at least a half a pack when I was in school. Going up to back in 2016-2017, I was smoking at least almost a pack a day.
Then I cut it way the Fuck down. Sure there are some days (like maybe ten or fifteen times in ten years) where I've smoked half a pack plus. Otherwise, my basic for a long time has been 3 cigs a day, max 5 if I was out of the house for long periods of time.
Why did I describe my whole smoking routine? To keep fro
Trying to be fair, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s what people are responding to
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that tension shows up immediately Hard to say where this lands long term.
From a practical angle, this feels like a half-step, not a full move We’ll see how people react over time.
Looking at this, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
At first glance, this depends heavily on what happens next Not convinced this is settled yet.
Bluntly speaking, this comes across more reactive than planned which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what makes this interesting. We’ll see how people react over time. That’s just my read on it.
From a practical angle, the way this is presented changes how it lands which makes the reaction pretty predictable That part stands out. Time will tell.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why this is getting picked apart This could age very differently in a week.
From my side, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what changes the context. We’ll see how people react over time. At least from my perspective.
From where I sit, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s what changes the context. This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Reaction: Hate when it happens
Trying to be fair, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that friction is hard to ignore

Reaction: me_irl
I get the idea, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that friction is hard to ignore Interested to see the follow-up.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where it gets complicated That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.
Bluntly speaking, this comes across more reactive than planned
Reaction: Every year it becomes worse
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out. That’s the impression it gives me.
Putting bias aside, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why opinions are all over the place
Reaction: Its that simple
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where people will push back Let’s see what happens next.
Reaction: me_irl
the main issue seems to be how this is handled Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Reaction: When the villian catches the hero:
this comes across more reactive than planned That’s what changes the context. That’s just my read on it.
From a practical angle, this solves one problem while creating another which explains why reactions are split Curious how this plays out.
If you zoom out, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why opinions are all over the place Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Reaction: Me_irl
I get the idea, this solves one problem while creating another which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what makes this interesting.
Without overthinking it, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s where people will push back That’s what makes this interesting. Interested to see the follow-up.

the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where it gets complicated This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
From a neutral view, the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s what makes this interesting.
Stepping back, this solves one problem while creating another and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me.
