The most I've ever smoked is shisha. My husband started smoking cigarettes for awhile and it made me mad. For the price and I kind of want him around for awhile.

I mean, I think it smelled good on him and he looked good doing it, but it's just not worth it. A lot of people assume I smoke just because I defend smokers. Meh.

Smoked for 2 and a half year, the last year was 30 a day.

Went to 0 on the 23rd of December. Never looked back.

Of course I can't stop you, but I can surely recommend not doing it. It starts out as a social thing, and then develops to a habit and then an addiction. And no, you can't control it, and no, you're not the single rare case where you can.
I smoke weed. :'D

Some of my friends smoke cigs or weed or both, and some don't.

Tobacco makes me feel sickish. -.-;

I'm use to the smell, annoyed at the consent smoke breaks, and will not date someone who does smoke.

I never saw a reason to start. I like money and I rather drink and get some kind of tipsy effect then smoke with no benefit other than to smoke cause its a addictive habit. Now I'm talking about cigarettes. Weed I can see a reason why people smoke it, I don't but it makes more sense than cigs.

Do you smoke? If so what do you smoke?
Nope.
Have friends that smoke?
Yes.
What do you think about smoking?
Whatever floats your boat.
Ever tried smoking or tried to quit smoking?
I've smoked previously, I'd finish off my ex-girlfriends smokes and when I'd have a breakdown every 5/6 months I'd have one.
Extra comments?
I can't do it anymore, the taste makes me want to vomit. [:

Don't really care, just the lingering odor of second hand smoke is disgusting.
I don't smoke and I intend to never pick up the habit, I simply have no reason or desire to.
I'm not altogether certain of how I feel about it, mostly just because I don't have all the facts.
My boyfriend smokes and he is always worrying that it bothers me but I assure him that it doesn't. I have suspicions that it works up my allergies though lol.

I also agree that people seem to be very polite when smoking, I notice they usually go outside away from people to do it.
Do you smoke?
No.
Have friends that smoke?
Yes.
What do you think about smoking?
It makes you smell like s**t.
Ever tried smoking or tried to quit smoking?
No, but my mom tried smoking in the 70s and my grandma quit smoking about a year ago.

Shameless Sweetheart

I do and all my friends do. It's calming for me; helps with depression and anxiety, and it's improved my social skills spectacularly. I'm quitting next year because I'll be moving in with my partner who is against it and asthmatic.
I knew I'd like smoking before I tried the first time..
I don't. I think it's unhealthy, immature, and a waste of money. I don't see how anyone could spend money on making themselves unhealthy. It just boggles my mind.

But I don't judge. My boyfriend smokes and he knows I'd like him to quit but everyone has their own life and opinions. I just personally disagree with it.
Do you smoke? If so what do you smoke?
-Smoking is nasty so I don't. Plus, I'm underage.

Have friends that smoke?
-USED, to have friends that smoked. I ignore them now since they want to try & act cool by doing stupid stuff like smoking.

What do you think about smoking?
-I think smoking isn't something someone should do cos' of the consequences. If you're smoking cos' of stress, well there's other ways to handle it. If you're smoking cos' it's cool, that's just pathetic. I hate smoking.

Ever tried smoking or tried to quit smoking?
-No.

So, I was wondering what LD thinks about smoking?
-These people are for everything but somehow when it comes to smoking, it's the worst sin ever.

Do you smoke? If so what do you smoke?
-Yes, not regularly but yes. Lucky Strike.

Have friends that smoke?
-Yes.

What do you think about smoking?
-I don't mind it.

Ever tried smoking or tried to quit smoking?
-I smoke twice a year and that's a lot.

I smoked cigarettes every day for seven years. I had to give it up when a doctor diagnosed me with asthma and prescribed me Advair 500/50. Quitting was unbearably hard, and, if anybody tells you it's easy to quit, they're obviously not habitual smokers who made it a daily ritual for years; the more consistently and steadily you do it, the more addicted you'll become and the harder it will be to give it up, because in time you'll have trained your body to be dependent on tobacco for a sense of normalcy. For people like me who smoked tobacco steadily for years, feelings of anger, irritability, and depression will come on strong when the addiction is suddenly interrupted.


TL;DR Quitting was a b***h for me, and the addiction drove me berserk, but I got off it, because health-wise, I had no choice but to give up tobacco smoking.
I miss it. mad
