Poll: Do you smoke ?

[BonsaiK]

No, smoking stinks. It's also too expensive. I couldn't afford to smoke even if I wanted too. It also forces you to go outdoors a lot, which, where I live, isn't a benefit. Plus it gives you those ugly pucker-lines on your lips and makes you look 40 by the time you're 30. And you can't do stuff without wheezing after a while. Also when you get a cold it's a real ***** to shake.

I like hanging around smokers though because it makes me look really young and fresh-faced and full of energy in comparison.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Yes, although I am gradually reducing my smoking and plan to give it up. Cigarettes are just too damn expensive in Australia.

I hear that, I relegated to rolling tobacco because a box of 20 here is ?9.

They used to be 5 guilders in my time wich would be about 2 euro today. Christ, those things have gotten expensive.

 

[MorsePacific]

Cigarette smoke makes me sick and marijuana smells like a garbage can full of rotten fruit, so no, I do not smoke.

 

[ribonuge]

I know this is kind of stupid and cliché, but I just don't get addicted.

I'll smoke 7 in a row when I'm drunk yet wont feel any need to do so when I'm sober.

Try smoking for a month - see where that gets you.

 

[USSR]

Ew, god no.

 

[Harold Donchee]

Not often. Its getting more frequent though. Makes me a little nervous but whatever.

 

[HatchetDown]

I smoke weed. Hooray for me

 

[Kasawd]

Yeah, I smoke Cigars and rolling tobacco.

Very occasionally, however. Mostly at parties.

I avergae about 4-5 cigars a year.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

No, I'd rather not slowly kill myself with chemicals, thank you.

Smoking is a horrid, and deadly habit, though I do not condemn (much) you if you do. Nicotine makes a physical mark upon your brain tissue, which disrupts regular neurotransmitters in the cortex into taking it as "normal" and "good", which starts the addiction.

 

[Shru1kan]

I hate to be the one to say it.
But frankly it's a disgusting habit and I could never justify it even in times of severe stress
I say this because I think I'm slightly addicted to my father's second hand smoke

I hear ya. Almost 18 years of the crap and I'm fighting every day to not cave in fully.

Smoked for 3 years, then couldn't for 2 weeks as I was on holiday and it didn't bother me at all. Could have easily forgot smoking existed. Do go weeks on end if I'm busy and can't get to a shop, or working in a house with non smokers where I'll need to go out if I wanted to and it's just inconvenient, I still smoke a load when I can.

Just because you like something and do it a lot doesn't mean you're addicted, I have an immense craving for cashew nuts right now but doesn't mean I'm addicted to them.

 

[clairedelune]

I used to smoke more, it's winding down. Had my first cigarette in a month today. I really only do it when I'm around friends who smoke too, but I only see those friends during the holidays and summer and such. I've never felt any sort of withdrawal symptoms or symptoms of addiction, but I also never had more than a few cigarettes a week.
I'm not a big pot smoker, I do it occasionally, but I just twitch a lot and it makes me uncomfortable. Love hookah though.

I agree whole heartedly, though I would also add that the stench of tobacco is vile, it negatively affects your appearance, it can give you cancer, and all sorts of crap builds up on your lungs, restricting breathing.

 

[x0ny]

no, don't want to try.

 

[LeonLethality]

I'm the only person in my house who doesn't XD

is why I hate being around smokers.
Because I LOOOOOOVE being around smokers

 

[DuplicateValue]

No, because..........well, why would I? There really isn't any point.

I like the smell though.

 

[Chris0132]

No although I would like to smoke a pipe, if only they would invent tobacco which isn't addictive and doesn't make you ill.

And maybe had some beneficial or amusing side effect.

I need a bubble pipe.

 

[Hashandir]

Yeah, I smoke tobacco, whenever possible. Despite the fact that our government and the health-and-fucking-safety-people seem to have gotten in their minds to make smoking almost impossible here (it seems they compare us to serial killers in their add-campaigns).
They also got in to their tiny little heads that we, mature and responsible people, can't make our own decisions hence the "No smoking signs everywhere"
