Humans of Farmville

Tyler Gage - Humans of Farmville

Tyler Gage

Originally from Southern California, business owner, studies Music at Longwood University

“There is a fine line of trust that has to go into it from the customers to the people that work here to get off of there vice that’s been such a big part of their life. You get these people who can’t sit in here and talk to you for 30 minuets without going outside and smoking a cigarette…I’m a music major at Longwood and I was a pack a day smoker that doesn’t work because I’m a trumpet player, I need my lungs I need air, I stopped smoking cigarettes within a week…It doesn’t get rid of your cigarette it replaces it in a healthier form.”

Gator Bait

A resident of Farmville, 47 years old.

“I’ve smoked since I was like 13 and I’ve gotten up to two packs a day… I wanted to quit so I got the bigger ones (vaporizer kit)…I might be with the older generation, but I didn’t scare away.”

“I play with it because I like the clouds, my old lady just hits it like a cigarette, ill sit there back to back just to see how big a cloud I can get.”
