3. Continent you currently live in Europe
4. Do you use nicotine-products? Rarely
5. Ciqarettes, pipe, ciqars or snuff? Cigars, cigarettes
6. If you knew you could stop using nicotine-products painlessly without the risk of failing, would you? I am not a smoker by habit; I smoke about 10 of them per month when I'm out drinking
7. Would you date a smoker? I already have
8. What age did you start smoking? I smoked the first time when I was 15
9. What age did you stop smoking? Last sunday?

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.

5. Ciqarettes, pipe, ciqars and snus.
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.

12. What do you say is the main reason for quitting?

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.

8. What age did you start smoking? 18
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.
