If you got 'em




















So, you haven’t managed to quit the habit, or possibly you’ve just taken it up. In either case, you’re probably noticing that your smoking is heavily restricted and increasingly compromised at every turn, and it’s only getting worse. With colder months approaching, you’re dreading—or possibly already experiencing—those chilling and humiliating cigarette breaks, as you hunker down miserably in some kind of designated smoking pit to get your nic fix. Once or twice it’s almost been cold and ugly enough out there to make you think about giving them up for good, and you really mean it.

But now you can continue to compromise your health without sacrificing style and comfort, because now there are
smoking mittens. Maybe you’ll quit one day and maybe you won’t, but in the meantime you’re not going to be uncomfortable, because that’s how they want you to feel. None of that “cold hands, warm heart” nonsense for you.

The mittens come equipped with a pre-drilled cigarette-sized hole, and, like all mittens, they’re interchangeable, so you can smoke like a lefty or a righty. You can continue to gesticulate between wheezes, and your fingertips won’t be so stinky and yellow, although your breath and cough will be as bad as ever. Best of all, you’ll be showing everyone a high level of commitment. Illegitimi non carborundum, or Noli nothis permittere te terere, right?
