I used to date a cam girl [insert “it’s not dating if you’re paying her” joke here] and one of her most reliable clients was a dude who just wanted to watch her smoke a cigarette (while fully clothed) in silence. Every Tuesday at 5:15pm, he’d log on, buy 15 minutes of private time, (IIRC it was $50 for 15 minutes), watch her smoke her cigarette, tip $200, and vanish until the next week.

He was unironically one of her favorite clients, simply because she got to wrap up in a shawl and treat it like a smoke break. She was primarily a stress smoker… And she really hated the job. But the money was good; If she had a string of good clients, she could pay her rent and bills in about 5 hours of work, so the rest of it was purely disposable income. She only worked like 20-30 hours per month, but drove a fully paid off BMW. So she’d usually log on around 1:30pm on Tuesdays, which meant his cigarette request was at the halfway point in her 5 hour cam session.

The first time they met, he asked if she smoked. She said sometimes, but mostly when she was stressed. He asked if she had a pack. She didn’t, but the corner store was only a 15 minute round trip. So he tipped her $50, she went and got that pack, then came back and got the $250 for smoking one. She always said that was the easiest $300 (minus the cost of the pack) she ever made.
