Frankie Boyle was in his past really offensive (at the time) and badmouthing comedian from Scotland and well known for this. What I've heard recently is him getting a bit softer and trying to not be so angry and offensive according to his own words.
"I decided I to quit smoking. Except for my after meal ciggies. And before bed ciggy. and my post sex ciggy, but that's just to get the taste of tranny asshole out of my mouth. Oh and vaping doesn't count. Neither does weed."
I always assumed this to be a "quitting smoking is easy, I've done it hundreds of times" type of joke, never imagined that any people out there say it unironically.
You sure that's not just his Scottish genes at work?
I hate to say that was me before I *actually* quit. I quit about 2 and a half years ago, I did bum one off a friend drunk on fourth of July, but holy shit I have no idea how smoked for as long as I did. The taste just sucks now and it lingers there for hours. Maybe I caught Covid without realizing it and it fucked my sense of taste for cigarettes, but I can't even stand the smell of them anymore.
Smoking destroys your sense of smell, you managed to quit for long enough for it to recover so that you could smell what all the non-smokers can.
I don't think it's that simple, I've taken months long breaks from smoking in the past, and taking my first puff felt great, just this last time it made me quit for good.
