Do you smoke?

Well, that's what the ban is for

 

Nope. I'm allergic to a chemical used in most cigarette production, which helped reinforce smoking as a bad thing.

 

I don't. It's a scary thing, really.

 

I've smoked a couple but never bought a pack and I haven't touched one in a couple of years. Not intending to, either.

 

Started as a teenager, quit as a teenager. I was both dumb and smart as a teenager.

 

Only the occational cigar on special occations, so only a few on a yearly basis, but I otherwise I don't really smoke. Everyone else in the family smokes so I'm an exception in that regard and quite happy about it too.

Same here, Morgoroth. Both my parents smoked, my mom still does. I did try a cigarette once at the age of ten, thought it tasted nasty. Then a few years later the allergy was discovered.

 

My dad was a chain smoker and it killed him...I don't touch the stuff, nor do I let any of my friends family members do it. Atleast, I try to get them off it if they 're doing it.

 

Never really saw the point of getting myself addicted to something. Well, other than gaming, that is.

 

Tried it once, never liked it, never got into it.

In my youth, the 'anti-smoking' campaign was getting underway, and I became quite strident in trying to cajole my mother into quitting. She did, about a decade after I gave up pushing her.

Over time, though, as public opinion got quite unanimous and somewhat draconian against smokers, I've become more of a neutral in the issue - keep it out of other people's faces, but no reason why you can't destroy yourself slightly faster than mother nature is doing. (C'mon - city ordinance banning smoking in an OUTDOOR public place?!? Try banning combustion engine automobiles first! )

 

I stop-drop-and-roll at least once a day so I don't smoke.

Or did you mean tobacco products?

I had a 2 pack a day habit. Moving to the second highest taxes on cigarettes province sort of cured me - $80 for a carton of El Cheapos. If I get offered one, I take it. I prefer menthol.

 

Nobody has mentioned one of my main reasons for not smoking: it's so bloody expensive! I would never be able to afford it!

 

Yes, about five a day.

 

Funny now that people mention it ... neither my parents nor my brothers and sisters smoke. I guess that makes it easier to not smoke.

 

Smoked MJ for the first time yesterday...

 

Funny, I'm reading that topic and I realize I've just lighted a cigarette.

 

nope.

 

No, and even if for some reason I decided to, I inhale enough at the bus stop everyday to last a lifetime. Che. -_- I really hate the smell!

 

I've just quit. There, now I've said it. I quit.

I only smoked regularly for about a year and I already started to have blood circulation problems, namely numbness in my fingers and reduced resistance for colder weather and occasional pains in my lungs. One time I woke up lying on my back, finding that I wasn't breathing. I've never snored or had sleep apnea before I started smoking.

The expensiveness. Yuh. Never mind the health, but money's something that I'm really short of. Now I can think a lot of other things I can do with 60 euros a month.

 

Never smoked at all, not even a drag. My parents both smoke quite heavily and I hate being close to them when they are smoking so I doubt very much I would enjoy smoking. I cant see the attraction to be honest.
