smoking...

[Nostromadu]

How many people here smoke? I've begun and now it's turned into a habit... arg. Oh well, I roll my own so at least I don't get toilet bowl cleaner or formaldehyde... So, how many of you smoke?

 

[Sketcher]

Nope. I never liked it. I understand addiction though.

 

[mwduke]

during the school year i smoke regularly after class and for study breaks, usually b/w 5-10 cigs a day. but ill sometimes go through stints when i quit almost entirely (down to maybe 1-2 cigs a week or less) for spans of nearly a month. right now im in my quit stage tho.

 

[Xcarvengerx]

I really dislike cigarettes' smokes... so don't even bother to let me start on how I loathe cigarettes...

 

[Mandrake]

I quit when I was 17, after smoking about 4 packs a week for two years.

i've smoked a couple really nice cigars in the past. But, the after taste and getting dizzy part I didn't like. It taste good in the begging, til after the midway part of the cigar.

Same here. Most of the time when I leave my dorm, I have to go through cigarette smoke. I don't see what the point is.

I actually tried one when I was little because my dad smoked. I hated it! I coughed the rest of the day. But my dad died when I was young, and I believe smoking was a big cause of his death.

well, i tried it when i was younger, but my views of it as of now are:

it's absolutely disgusting

what's the point in hurting your body?

o yeah, gross

We are not allowed to smoke or drink in ROTC. Not that I would anyways.

hah, same here.. we used to smoke some cigars just to relieve some of the stress from class.. the dizzy part of course is the buzz, and sometimes that was the best part , just because..

but, i hated waking up smelling, breath stinking, and stomach hurting so i stopped

Statistically it is the Number 1 cause of preventable death followed by alcohol and heart conditions (obesity).

No, and I wouldn't ever smoke. To me, smoking is one of the most disgusting not to mention selfish things that someone can do, especially if they have a family. So many people are exposed to the harmful effects of secondhand cigarette smoke by inconsiderate smokers and I absolutely refuse to 1) subject my body to such unhealthy practices and 2) subject anyone else to inhalation of cigarette smoke.

 

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

Never, it's a nasty habit.

hmm, mine were the Arturo Fuente Hemingway 'short story' cigars. $5 each. I've bought 2 $18 each cigars that only came out once a year for my crew leader and supervisor at work. They were the same brand, but weren't called 'short stories'.

I actually started taking drags off of other peoples' cigs, which led to nicotine cravings, which led to me smoking. But, as I said earlier, I roll my own - which is much healthier than smoking storeboughts. Also, I've been trying to quit... not going well. Oh well, please keep me in your prayers. Thanks!

Yeah brother, I am praying for you. God will give you strength to anticipate the withdraw symptom. And don't go look for cigarette because it will just tempt you...

Love you.

 

[KellyLeigh]

Never smoked, never will. It just really grosses me out. it stinks and it kills you, that's never been appealing to me before

 

[français]

i smoke every blue moon when i'm stressed. but not too often. maybe once a month.

 

[Nienor]

I've never smoked, and I don't think I'll pick up the habit - I have lots of problems with chemical sensitivity (walking past a perfume counter gives me a headache...) But my mom's side of the family all smoke, as do as one of my friends and I sit out with them when they smoke. I get headaches, but I can get past that. But I don't see any of them very often...

 

[Trippin]

Smoked tobacco since about 14, so approximately 12 years.
Nostromadu, it is tough quiting. But one of the things that helps once it's been pointed out that you shouldn't have this, or don't need this in your life is to ask God to show you why you should dislike it. It's cool to let go of it though, you can smell again!
