Today, I quit smoking. My son came home with an ashtray he made in arts and crafts class. FML

Today, I decided to quit smoking. During my lunch break, I tried to ash the KitKat bar that was in my hand after I took a bite. FML

Today, I decided to quit smoking. My wife conveniently decided on the same day that she was going to start smoking. FML

Today, after secretly smoking for more than two years, I decided to quit. I came home from work to see my wife holding a pack and asking me what was it doing behind the toilet seat. FML

Today, I finally found a reason to quit smoking. I threw my cigarette butt out the window and it blew back in, went down the back of my pants, and burnt my butt in 3 different places. FML

Today, I got a citation from school. My 10-year-old son was caught smoking cigarettes during recess. FML

Today, I walked in on my son holding a lighter to the end of a pen and sniffing the fumes. Apparently he thought it would get him high. FML

Smoking is bad
Today, I was on my back porch having a cigarette. Not being all that awake yet, I threw the butt, still smoldering, on the ground. Did I remember that there was an ashtray right next to me? No. I did what I would do at work; I stamped it out. Barefoot. FML

Holy smokes
Today, I’m down to my last, partially snapped cigarette. I carefully taped it back together, enough for at least half a smoke. I then snapped it completely while opening the door to go outside and smoke it. FML

Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. FML

Today, as I was smoking a cigarette I realized that it's time to quit. This realization came to me after a particularly violent coughing bout forced not tar out of my lungs, but rather poo out of my bum. FML

This means that it will forever look just like the day he brought it home. Never tarnished with ashes. In a few months he will be bragging to his friends about it.

To which I hope you said, "Thank you very much, it's lovely." And then used it for a candy dish. Don't break the little buggers heart because you finally gave up a bad habit.

The fact that an ashtray even occurred to your kid as a good idea for a ceramics project just goes to show what kind of a role model you are. Your kid sees you a a walking chimney, as opposed to a lover of nature (and making a vase) or a cook (a serving dish). It's good that you finally quit though. I really like the candy dish idea. Go with that.

My dad smokes, and I never saw him as a walking chimney, but a animal- and nature lover who liked to be outside and spend time with his family at sea in our little boat. Use your brain a little better and don't assume such things.

everyone sits on this site and flips their lids when a smoking FML pops up. yeah; it's bad for you and whatever else you want to say but Americans; do you remember that drinking alcohol is also legal and that kills more americans daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly than tobacco? so learn your facts and stop hating on smoking when we all do something wrong for our bodies; legal, or not. k, thanx.

But that would apply to more people, and we need to focus on ONE group to put down so we can all feel better about ourselves!! You make an excellent point. My friends who had smokers for parents are well-adjusted and don't smoke, because their parents smoked outside and they think it's gross. My friends who had alcoholics for parents are not in such good shape; most of them drink excessively, because you can't go outside to get drunk and then be fine when you come back in. You're still drunk, and your kids can see/hear that

Well, maybe you can use it for something else. A lot of people use old ashtrays to throw their car and house keys into so they always know where they are. Just because it's an ashtray doesn't mean you have to use it as such.

That is terrible! I feel bad for your son! Do you know how much second hand smoke he got from you? You should be ashamed of yourself!
