But there was a whole week where I did none. You have to understand. And it's, and it's not like, it's not super difficult. I mean, I have this X program thing. I have, I was a little like, what is it? What is it? How do you do it? So basically it's like, there's an online support thing for you. It's you get text messages that are like encouraging.
It can be as, uh, you know, you can use it as much or as little as you want. It can, it got a little annoying at first because I didn't want to, I didn't want to like always think about smoking all day. Right. So I get a text and I'm like, oh, But then I was like, okay, this is actually kind of encouraging. But the thing is, the main thing, I don't want to smell like poopy, poopy, poopy.
Can I say that's the thing? Everybody has freedom. Everybody has autonomy with their own body. No, but you smell like poopy, poopy, poopies. Also, the money. No, yeah, the money is insane. I mean, the fact that you're very blessed that that's... not enough money for you to worry about. No, but in college it was. How does it, how does an, I don't want to say normal.
How does a person who has a standard income smoke 30 cigarettes a day? Do you know what 30 cigarettes a day in Australia costs you? About $60. The 25 cigarette pack Australian cigarette case is $50 Australian dollars. That's crazy. That's what I would do there. I would pay and you can't bring cigarettes into the country. So I would, I felt like so like ashamed of that when I did that.
You know, next time we sell any concert tickets or show tickets that are 70 bucks, we should be like for the price of one pack of Australian cigarettes a day, you can come support us. That's why, but the vaping too is like, I didn't, um, the vaping is not like, I didn't really get into the vaping cause it's, it's different. But I mean, everybody's vaping. I swear to God, it's people. We know.
I mean, I think people know, of course. No, no, no, no. That's not surprising, but we can't name names. We know so many people who I think are on team goody goody with me that have been vaping. And I, it's shocked. My jaw hits the floor. Somebody we work with, a famous drag queen walked in and I was like, they pulled it out and did it. And it was so passive and involuntary.
And my hand went, my eyes went from them to watching it go to their pocket to like, like the killer. No, I was like, you remember in Mars Attacks when the first lady's like, That was me watching someone vape. No, I get it. It's shocking. Well, it's not shocking. So what do the texts say? Like, hey, girl. It would be like, you know, you can do it. You can do it, diva. Not really like that.
But it's like, you know, it gives you like a statistic about, you know, saving money. I mean, for me, I would know that maybe for me, could I tailor it to be more like, Make sure the texts are telling me how much money I'm saving. That's the only thing that motivate me. Absolutely. Or if you're health conscious, maybe it's a health.
And then you can go online and you can like, you can, people have like, they share their stories where it's like, it's, and I'm, I'm not to be corny. I'm not to be corny. Like it actually helped to like, to know that people are going through because nobody I know is trying to quit smoking. In my life. They either don't smoke or they're a lifer. Yeah. They're like, there's exactly.
So like I, um, and it's insidious. Like when, every time I've like tried to quit smoking with somebody else. Oh my God. It's, it's, it does not work out because I see them and they're like, do you have, do you want to do, you know? And it's like, but I'm, I'm able to. Yes. Yes. And it's so easy. You're just like, oh, it's smoking. It's not crack. It's not crack. People are saying it's not smoking.
I know. Yeah, it's not crack today, but in 20 years, it's big time crack. Do you have a history with having maybe an addictive personality? No, I don't. It seems like your body. This is really new for me. How did you start smoking? Mary, this is the diabolical part. I was in sixth grade. I'll never forget Marlboro Reds. You're the person huffing at the McDonald's.
Mama, I was originating the shade at the Macca's, okay? I was the shade originator. The shade store. Yes. I remember so vividly, I smoked the cigarette. That cigarette tasted like the cat's motherfucking ass. That cat's ass. Like you rim in your tongue way up in a cat's booty hole. And I puked. I can't even kiss a smoker. And then I did it again. Of course not.
So this is the thing about, that's why like the little reminders are so great because it's like, it reminds you, A, hey, maybe you don't want to smell like the cat's ass. And then B, maybe you'd like to have an intimate relationship with someone who doesn't smoke because that's non-negotiable otherwise. Or C, maybe you'd like to save 50 Australian dollars a day.
Or D, maybe you don't want to die of emphysema, ho. I know. Can I tell, if I could be vulnerable, I'm sure my mom won't mind me sharing this. My mom smoked off and on her whole life. She has emphysema. It's not a party. I could get it. Absolutely. It could be, I could have lung cancer right now. You know what I mean? Kathy Griffin got lung cancer and had never been smoked in her life.
So if it can happen to somebody who doesn't smoke, it can really happen to you. If you, you know what I mean? Of course. I know. It's like, I mean, I'm obviously many types of cancer are treatable and they're surviving, you know? Yeah. But, but no, it's, I'm actually really, I'm not even proud of myself. I'm kind of in shock. I'm in shock.
Because I was like, I got all this stuff today and I was like, I was a perfect opportunity to smoke. I had just had lunch and it was the time, the prime time to smoke. And I just didn't go outside and do it. I just walked in here today and didn't I say, where is she? Is she smoking? And they said, no, she's over there. I haven't. It's bizarre. But you know what?
On Trixie Catcher Live, you would hang out the window and smoke until the overture started. In between numbers, right after Hey Sexy, sweating. God's perfect breathing system. Yeah. During COVID, you inside with the air conditioner smoking in the house. That part. That's sick. That is Grizzly Adams. You know what else is different this time?
Because I've seen you quit probably five times since Drag Race Season 7. You'll quit. That one time you quit for eight months. Remember? Mm-hmm. This time, before when you've quit, it's been a consuming thought. Exactly. Every time I see you're like pissed, trying to quit smoking, pissed off. Peace, I have none. Right. This time I wouldn't have known because it's not like a prevailing thought.
I'm not... It started with Ubers. Like there was three days in a row where I was like not driving and I was had to get Ubers like so many in a day. And then it occurred to me like I was like, oh, I think it's really disrespectful to get into this guy's Mercedes Benz smelling like a fucking lit cigarette. Only in L.A. You're getting in people's luxury Ubers. Oh, yeah.
People here drive like Cadillac Ubers. I know. I take them. Yeah, they're fierce and sometimes they're just as cheap as comfort. Yeah, boopy. Okay, but so there's that and it's I it's cool What is but I get it? This is corny to I David Lynch dying really kind of like put a bug in my ear Did he die of edema? He probably don't smoke as much as you did. He was the smoker. He was the capital smoker.
