[Vkmies]

I can't help but feel I'm not being too helpful. If anything you're probably getting skewed results by asking only Escapists, if that's what you're doing.

Oh shush! Every answer helps, since I will also be counting in the answers given by non-smokers.

I'm also asking some other people on a few other forums and my facebook friends, so I hope to have a pretty varied group of people answering. Besides, only this thread has over 100 posts already!

That's way more than I expected, and great for my little paper-thing, since it's nothing awfully serious anyway! Thanks again for taking the time to stroll through my questions, man! :=)

2. Age: 16

3. Continent you currently live in: North America

4. Do you use nicotine-products?: I guess cigarettes counts for that, since they have nicotine in them

5. Ciqarettes, pipe, ciqars or snuff?: Cigarettes

6. If you knew you could stop using nicotine-products painlessly without the risk of failing, would you?: No, as I like smoking. I'd only quit if I became addicted, as then I'd start to lose self-control, I won't have that

7. Would you date a smoker?: Yes

12. What do you say is the main reason for quitting?: If I do quit smoking, it will be to stop the addiction.

I know I'll get a lot of shit as the underage smoker here, but I use it mostly as something to bond over with my best friend, and to meditate lightly during the day. I only smoke one a day, two if I'm feeling, as I call it, "smokey," and more if I'm sharing them with friends on a special occasion.

The premise of several questions (and thus, debatably, the whole survey) is entirely faulty. It assumes you are an addict after using any tobacco product even once.

6. No.
7. Yes.
8. 18
I only smoke at parties which means about 1-3 cigaretts a month and about same amounts of snus.
And rarely pipe or cigar to celebrate. And it's mainly a social thing, which is why I don't wan't to quit.

1. Male.
2. 24.
3. North America.
4. Not currently.
5. No.
6. N/A. Hypothetically though, it would depend on the method. There's never a "perfect" cure, and undoubtedly, there would be side effects or potential long-term risks. I would have to evaluate the method used for quitting before making an actual decision here.
7. No. My parents smoked. I can't stand the smell of it, and that smell gets everywhere, even if the smoker tries to be considerate and only smoke outdoors. I wouldn't be able to date someone if I was going to be constantly disgusted by their smell. Beyond that, I'm aware of the health risks and how incredibly expensive smoking is... so yeah. Not likely to happen.
8. N/A.
9. N/A.
10. N/A.
11. N/A.
12. N/A. Although I can give you the reasons for why I wouldn't start smoking. It's proven to be incredibly detrimental to one's physical health, it's incredibly expensive in the long-term (both in cost of cigarettes and in possible medical bills later on), and I wouldn't want to expose my loved ones to it. That last one is why my parents stopped smoking.

4. No, but occasionally I smoke pot (maybe once every other month).
5. A pipe for pot.
6. Don't use it but I can't see why anyone wouldn't say yes to this.
7. Depends on how much they do it. It definitely is a turn off though...
8. I did pot for the fist time at 19.
9. I still smoke pot every now and then.
10. My friend uses this stuff and he says that it's somewhat helpful.
11. He's been on and off smoking for a while now so I guess they aren't that helpful.
12. Health concerns are his reason.

4. Do you use nicotine-products? Yes
5. Cigarettes
6. If you knew you could stop using nicotine-products painlessly without the risk of failing, would you? Abso-fucking-lutely without a doubt

9. What age did you stop smoking? N/A
10. Did you quit with the help of products like gum or patches? N/A
11. Would you say outside products like nicotine-gum help? Yes, but if you don't have the mindset of full commitment to quitting they won't work on their own.
12. What do you say is the main reason for quitting? If one is more important than others, it's health and a long life. I have an issue with the smell of home and clothes, how much it costs, how much harder manual labor/working out is, etc.
