Do you smoke?

[Effluo]

I smoked for aobu 15 years.. Finally, it got to expensive, and I figured I didn't want to die a slow agonizing death anyway.... My wife and I quit about a year ago, though the holidays were tough, and we had a few smokes here and there with friends....

For me it wasn't hard to quit since I was never a heavy smoker (at times a pack of cigarettes would last me a week or so). My wife had a harder time, as she was a "pak-a-day" smoker... It is a very noticeable difference after having quit...

[DragonCloud64]

I don't smoke, and don't plan to, I can't stand the smell really... When i got into college i hit the smoker motherload for sure, like 1/3 of the people i saw smoked >.> I'm glad they actually came up with a smoke-free law this year!

[Kurp]

I quit a little over a year ago, first try. And yeah, I'm loving the smoke-free bars.

Wheres the social smoker option?

Hmm, not so much. I bought a pack about a month and a half ago and its a little less than half empty now. Im not a "smoker," but I can admit that its relaxing at times. I could toss the pack and never smoke again and wouldnt skip a beat.

Cigarettes are nasty. I'll never understand why people willingly smoke cigarettes. Smokers cough is horrible to hear and the constant smell is pretty disgusting too. Oh, and I hear it hurts your lungs or something.

Pot is highly overrated and no one thinks your such a non-conformist, totally original, and creative badass because you skipped english class to go get high. No one cares and no one wants to hear your stories that always start with "Dude, I was so high yesterday!"

Have fun wasting your money.

A lot of people do things that arent good for them. Eating fast food is one thing that immediately comes to mind. I do love the high and mighty tone to your post, btw.

I guess I better start smoking since I do other things that are bad for me.

10 months of no smoking now for me. gogogo chantix. Really the only sucky part was how bad my car really stunk of tobacco and the fact I was chewing the hell out of my pens when I didn't have access to mints, gum, small children to kick, etc.

wow I read that wrong and did a total tv style double take

I smoke, but don't consider myself a "smoker' because I have like a cigarette every 2 days. Usually takes me like a month and a half to go through a pack. I usually enjoy smoking when I'm out drinking, but recently being unimployed and really stressed out about a lot of thins I've increased my intake a bit.

If I find myself doing it too much, I just stop for a week or two then have another one when I feel like it. My girlfriend smokes as well, more than I do but on a stressful day only like 3 a day, which is nice in a way. Neither of us want to be one of those haggard one pack a day kind of people, we just do it because we enjoy the social aspect of it and frankly we enjoy that little bit of a nicotine rush in your brain. (Yes we tend to smoke so infrequently that we still get that newbie rush.)

Am I planning to quit? Certainly, but not right now. Whenever I decide to have kids then there's no question it's going out of my life, or if I find it's just not something in my life I enjoy anymore. Until then, I'll continue to enjoy it as an occasional thing.

I've never smoked and never will. Having seen all 8 of my Grandmother's Siblings die slow painful smoking related deaths as well as losing two more Grandparents to it, it doesn't take much to stear me away. That and it's disgusting to boot.

[Deejay]

Tobacco smoke smells horrible. I've tried cigars, cigarettes, black & milds... they all taste disgusting to me. Every time i've tryed them I had to take a shower and use mouthwash to get the smell off of me. I hate it lol.

I smoke a decent amount of weed though. Being jamaican, I was never raised to think that weed is an actual drug though. It's a plant that you can stick in the ground, just like cocoa or corn lol. Theres no non organic chemicals added to it like the other shit people smoke.

If everyone smoked a joint, the world would be a better place.

[Howard Roark]

Is your car also powered by your own sense of self worth? 8)

joke

ahahahaha

um, yeah can't stand the smell of people that JUST came in from a cigarette, or those cancer bags that have been smoking for 40 years and smell like it even after the longest shower

and for some reason the smell of nicorette on their breath is even more disgusting


weed and booze are the same imo, i think arbitrary legal dinking ages are ridiculous especially since they vary by state and country, and both can be dangerous if abused (ie. while/immediately before driving)

not that i do either more than socially (often turn them down when offered to me for free) but the idea of some fat senator drinking a 12 year old scotch and saying pot is bad is ridiculous to me

Social smokers need to stop kidding themselves. If you smoke socially, you're a smoker.

lol i used to tease my gf after those commercials came out about social smoking

"I only smoke when I smoke."

"I only smoke on weekends and weekdays."

"I only smoke alone or with friends."

etc lol

Having never smoked a cigarette before I'm kinda clueless about something. If you have never smoked before and aren't addicted yet what good feelings come from smoking one. From listening to others talking about smoking all the good feelings of smoking a cigarette have been to get rid of the feeling that you need one. If someone was stressed and they smoked their first ever cigarette (and happened to not hate it) would it work for the stress?

You might get a headache, I'm not sure.

If I've been drinking and a friend wants someone to stand outside with them, I'll bum a cigarette. Otherwise no, so I don't consider myself a smoker.

You feel light headed and relaxed. It's why people under stress smoke more than people not under a lot of stress. It also satisfies peoples' oral fixation. Personally, I think it's stupid to pollute your lungs with something that only marginally changes your mood yet leaves you smelling like dirt.

Norelco thinks that youre a smoker and to stop fooling yourself.

[Anyway]

I smoke alot of pot, basically every night before I go to bed. But at the same time, I hate 'stoners'. It's weird. If i'm smoking with someone and they start 1 of the following: A) some retarded philosophical talk B) the whole I AM SO HIGH RIGHT NOW GUYS talk C) the always annoying "what is going on, guys i dont know whats going on right now" talk, I usually get up and walk away and try to avoid smoking with them again. It's going to sound stupid, but I think all the people that only smoke on occasion ruin it for everyone else. Because no matter what, you will fall into a typical negative stereotype if you're not used to it. Now before anyone starts bashing me for how much I smoke... I go to college, my GPA is high (pun), I have a regular job (and I dont smoke and go to work, another thing that annoys me), and my brain isn't failing.

If you have never tried it, don't say anything about it, period, you look like a dumbass. If you have only tried it once, same applies.
