Strangely they don't do anything for me. I might as well be smoking toilet-paper.

I used to have the occasional smoke, but now i don' even bother..
Although, i got a cigar for my 19th birthday the other week, damn I looked classy

I never will. Just being around someone when they are smoking is enough to make me feel quite ill.
It has even caused severe asthma when I had to stay overnight at a relative's house where they smoked indoors.

i have smoked a few before but i just never understood what the point was and ended up hating them. smoke has never bothered me all that much, but lately going to smokey clubs has been making feel a little ill.

Another smoking thread.

Doesn't anyone do a SEARCH?

only when i feel classy.
dont inhale though, that's not how you do cigars.

Gankdawg · Apr 7, 2004, 10:51 PM

Never have, never will. IMHO, digusting habit.

ambush · Apr 7, 2004, 10:59 PM

I know I could become addict so I keep them far from me

RAzaRazor · Apr 7, 2004, 11:04 PM

I'm only a secondhand smoker. I can't stand that stale smell of smoke in my clothes. Ick!

iMOTOR · Apr 8, 2004, 05:09 AM

never smoked cigs, never will. tried to smoke sigs once, didn't work out though.

rjenkinson · Apr 8, 2004, 05:42 AM

some reasons i don't smoke:

expensive
the smell
yellowed teeth
second-hand smoke
cancer
heart disease

quit 6 weeks ago after smoking for 20 years...haven't looked back...i guess in a year or two i'll be over it.

voyageur · Apr 8, 2004, 07:33 AM

Congratulations, pheonixboy, that's a real accomplishment.

I tried it a little in college to the point where I purchased ONE pack of cigarettes. I smoked about 1/2 the pack and never really picked it up again.

I can't see paying to have the taste of ass in my mouth on a regular basis.

It's also VERY expensive!

We're agreed on the expensive..

Stopped 9 weeks, 3 day ago and saved about � 500 already! Before the years ends i'll have yet another G5!

HOWEVER

I can assure you, based on personal experience, that ass tastes distinctly different as smoking. Considerably better even!

i smoke, and im not proud of it. but i have found that with some of the crappier jobs out there (restaurants specifically) the ONLY way to get a break is to smoke. kinda weird.

im at about a pack a day. more when im drinking.

It was like that at the old place I used to work. I used to just tell them that I was going to take a smoke break, but not actually smoke. The managers gave me weird looks but could never do anything about it.

WiggMuffin · Apr 8, 2004, 02:11 PM

Nope, no cancer for me thanks.

ASIMO · Apr 8, 2004, 02:24 PM

I am not a smoker, but I play one on TV.

fireside · Apr 8, 2004, 02:25 PM

even being close to people who smoke cigs make me nauseous.

DeathToWindows · Apr 8, 2004, 04:13 PM

hate them - never will.

as gross as smoking is and unproud i am to be a smoker, i gree, when i was working in a restaurant, taking a smoke break was so nice because it was so stressful, that 7 minute break with a little buzz just felt so good.

i dont think you and i are the only ones who started while working in restaurants either. somebody should study this.

nredman · Apr 8, 2004, 08:55 PM

used to in high school because i thought it was cool...but i couldn't handle the nasty taste in your mouth the morning after smoking. and its bad for you too

SupahCoolX · Apr 8, 2004, 09:24 PM

Never have, never will. When your dad gets lung cancer, you don't look too kindly on cigarettes.

Mr. Bob · Apr 8, 2004, 09:38 PM

The only thing I smoke is cigars, and I dont inhale (you cant taste anything in your lungs, so there�s no point). Cigarettes are just overall bad. Its cheap, garbage, chemical produced tobacco chips, laced with nicotine, and wrapped in Bible paper. Also, they taste and smell horrible. A good cigar however, has a nice taste and smell to it. But, again in moderation as I only smoke a Cohiba Robustos or Explendidos every ever so rarely (maybe once or twice a month).

Also, being addicted is a bad thing, I don�t need to, just want to, and only when I get somewhat toasty from drinking. Besides, got to smoke a few Cubans while I have the chance, as you cant get them in America, or at least until that old Communist dies.
