*Sigh* See. All of us that do smoke, know that it's bad for us. We've been told more times than anyone on earth will care to count.

Also, your comment there about smoking in public? Shove it in the trashbin. UNLESS you see smokers that light one up within inches of you, and puffs the smoke in your face, or anyone elses face, or close to people with kids, etc, don't complain. The wind will wisk the smoke off before it can reach your precious lungs.

I smoke. I also smoke in public. I never, however, go up to a random person and light a cigarette right next to them. It's just courtesy.

Though, if I'm waiting for the bus, sucking happily on my cig, and people walk up and stand next to me? Their own bloody problem. And I dare any of them to complain then.

The air is free. And I will only stop smoking my cigs when/if the day comes that cars running on gasoline are banned, and chucked away. 'till then; *lights a cig* Cheers.

So about (maybe) 60%+ of the Escapist doesn't smoke? Those stats are probably better than my Junior High School.

I have never tried one nor do I plan to. Seems pointless, why pay for something(that sucks at first), be irritated without it, and not be allowed to to in in most places?

I've tried once because I was feeling very stressed and thought it could help me deal with it at the time. My first puff and I started hacking and coughing, my lungs burned and my eyes watered. Since then, nooooooooooooooooo.

I had one cigarette once when I was a kid, hated it. Coughed it up, thought it made me stink like a wino, wondered "why the HELL do people do this willingly?" and never touched it again. Absolutely gross.

I can understand why people have immense trouble quitting, but why people get started in the first place, I've never really understood that.

Smoking serves no purpose and i value my health too much. Also, I have allergies, so I couldn't even if I wanted to. Even smelling it on someone's clothing gives me a headache.

I only ever had second hand smoke... Its feels like hell for me. The only way I'm smoking is if you shove a cigarette into my dead mouth.

I tried it on a few separate occasions but each time I tried it I nearly coughed up a lung. So no, no I don't smoke.
Puff a cigar at first. Most don't make you nauseous and if you just puff it it doesn't go into your lungs.

Never in my life and I don't think I will any time soon. Sucks that quite a few people smoke at my school though. Sometimes the smell of lingering smoke hangs around campus (not all the time though)

Yes.
And I enjoy it.
Now before I start let me clarify; I don't smoke cigarettes I only smoke cigars. At the same time I smoke a fair few of them (I collect them, am in a cigar club and almost every single one of my close friends smokes them).
I totally respect that a lot of people don't smoke, don't enjoy the smell and don't see the point to it HOWEVER I really don't understand all the hate people think it's ok to direct at smokers. It's their body, it's their choice. If they're in a designated smoking area in public then it's really none of your business.
I mean, I care a lot about my body, I eat healthy all the time, I personally find overweight people unattractive but it'd be totally unacceptable for me to wander in to a fast food joint and start complaining loudly about how greasy the air is. Not only that but I'd probably be told to 'f*ck off' by someone there.
So in summary. Yes I smoke, yes I enjoy it AND I respect it if you don't. Now let's just get over it?

ps: to those smug posters saying "why would I want to inhale a slowly burning plant, smuggity smug smug".
Why would I want to swill sour grape juice mixed with a bunch of chemicals around my mouth? Oh, because I like wine!
Why would I lie directly in the line of one of the most carcinogenic things in the solar system? Oh, because I'm sunbathing!
It's called PERSONAL TASTE. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's wrong.

Nope.Never will. My Dad smokes and it's making his voice raspy and he's lethargic a lot..
I'm forcing him to quit, and I told him if he develops a disease because he doesn't stop, I'm going to get as many tattoos as this guy right here:

If you were my Son I'd beat your ass for even threatening to become anything like that mysogonist pig.
I'm sure your dad knew the risks of smoking when he started, don't insult the man's intelligence.

On topic: I smoke, I enjoy it and I currently have no intention of quitting.
