What are your smoking habits?

[wondergirl9847]

No, I don't smoke.

[estranged4life]

even though I smoked 1.5 cigs during the trip to my hometown after my Mother passed away, Those cigs DID NOT relax me whatsoever

Hehe, I voted for the last option.

But Japanese men smoke like bloody volcanos, so I've had to become more tolerant since arriving here.

[WelshWitchPMD]

I do not smoke. I do live with someone who does, however. There is not too much that I can do about it.

[Hawkeye]

I'm not a smoker, but what bothers me more then smokers are the super anti smoker people who think anyone who smokes is the equivlent of Hitler and Stalins love child

[DrummerDeanna]

I don't smoke and think that anyone who smokes is the equivlent of Hitler and Stalin's love child

Seriously though - I smoke VERY rarely - like if I'm drunk off my ass - then I'll bum some puffs off of someone's ciggie...I can't smoke a whole one otherwise someone would have to peel me off the floor...

I'm trying to picture you and I with squirt guns

I have incredibly horrendous allergies. Cigarette smoke doesn't help them. I can tolerate it for a little while but I wouldn't be able to be around it all the time.

I can't even be around cigarette smoke, let alone smoke them myself. My throat is too delicate. Seriously, get me around cigarette smoke and my throat will be sore for days; it's very uncomfortable.

Might as well say a 1/2 a pack to a pack day. So I voted for a pack a day. Not the best habit in the world but I could have an alcohol or drug problem, so I'll just sit in the corner with my Camel Lights and sometimes Kools when I need that menthol fix.
Speaking of the haters, I was hosting one night and some man asked for non-smoking, I said its all non and he said good I hate smokers. I wanted to light one up so bad!
But to each his own....now I must go light up.

I don't smoke at all, but many of my friends do. I'm not opposed to hanging out with them while they're smoking unless they start blowing it in my face. Otherwise I'll deal with that so I can spend time with someone.

i was a smoker, up to a pack/day. i swore that i would quite before i graduated college, who wants to carry on with that habit all through life? luckily, i was sick as a dog my junior year and didn't get a smoke for two weeks... that was as good a time as any other to quit. so i did, and now i can't stand to be around people smoking. it makes my eyes red and my clothes stink. oh, and i don't kiss smokers...

I flip out if someone lights up around me. Mainly because of my throat, but also because I find it very rude and inconsiderate. Go outside and smoke or don't do it all, I say. Personally, I never understood the appeal or what the reason behind smoking is. It's not like people don't know how smelly and gross it is, not to mention unhealthy. The real kicker is the people that sue the tobacco companies for getting them sick. They don't deserve one red cent.

End rant.

I've found that if I'm around a group of people smoking instead of just one person, my throat and eyes start hurting. My eyes actually start burning. It's bad.

As for the appeal behind smoking and all, I have to say that all of my friends who smoke say that it has no appeal. One of them says that she hates it and thinks it's absolutely repulsive and disgusting but she "can't stop." From what I've read on the subject, most people quit liking it soon enough after they're already addicted.
