Yes

5. Ciqarettes, pipe, ciqars or snuff?
Cigarettes, snus and the occasional cigar.

6. If you knew you could stop using nicotine-products painlessly without the risk of failing, would you?
I don't really know. I really like smoking, being addicted and all. I probably wouldn't.

7. Would you date a smoker?
I am.

8. What age did you start smoking?
17

9. What age did you stop smoking? (Here are my attempts)
17: A month after first starting. Started smoking again a few months later.
19: Felt like trying to see if I could stop, began again after two weeks
20: Tried stopping on my 20th birthday. Failed miserably.
Plus various occasions where I couldn't afford it.

10. Did you quit with the help of products like gum or patches?
Cold turkey is the way to go, man. Or maybe not, judging from my track record. But no, I have not used patches or gum.

n/a

4. No

7. Not in my life. Even if she was the best person in the world. I can't stand next to even someone so much as smelling of it without my lungs protesting. They can become very violent if I enter a room someone was smoking in within the last hour.

3. Europe
4. Yes
5. Cigarettes, kretek (the brands I smoke are very very very bad for you)
6. Don't know
7. I would, and have. It's difficult if you yourself have just recently quit though (see 9)
8. 22
9. 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 I stop smoking once a year, and then after a while (between three weeks and four months) I start again. Not out of urges. Bad habit out of boredom and at social events, I suppose. And if I started dating a smoker when I just quit a month (or two) ago. Yeah I'll start again.
10. No. I started jogging. Exercise make the urges less.
11. No
12. Money, smell (clothing, hair), dry skin. (I'm still in better physical shape than most I know, so health would only be an issue if I had some disease in artery, lungs or brain)

As I always say; I have no intention to be a smoker all my life.

EDIT: Dating a non-smoker ATM. Makes me VERY aware of what(the hell) I am doing.
