tell me more about them stress-smoking. are they brand loyal or is it whatever they can steal/find, filtered or no, will they smoke menthols in a pinch

i think dean should’ve been casually bordering on addictively into smoking—so he’s pretty brand loyal. sam who developed the habit away at college starts bumming some off dean after hard-hitters (max, croatoan, madison, etc.). even for this he’ll make sure it’s when they’re out so he can go hide away for it.

dean dies and sam buys that same brand just to have.

right around that time when dean comes back for the first time, he’d be so shaken by his resurrected body he’d probably stay away for some years..

during their BreakUp Eras, sam deviates. he will take random offered cigs and buy off brand packs just so he can smoke one or two and chuck it.

also i think bloodjunkie sam is a special case because he suffers from “cravings” and tries to stave them off with the nicotine. it never works because well... bloodjunkie. but now he’s smoking more than he ever has. everyone always references that one photo of him slurping blood by the vending machine and u bet ur ass i’m doing it here too.

this is how sketchy he’d be with smoking too. always in grimey spots and always after dark. you would think the man is doing hard drugs.
