Smoking.

[Lemur]

I used to smoke, but I don't think it's disgusting. People should have the right to pollute their bodies however they like. It's just that I heard a rumor that you're not supposed to smoke around children, so I don't.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I couldn't care less, as long as you don't do it around me.

People who force their children to breath in their smoke until they leave home disgust me.

[ShadesWolf]

I don't smoke and think it's okay


Its down to the individual.

Its like any other habit. For some people once they start they find it hard to give up.

[Dutch_guy]

I have no problem with smokers, couple of my friends smoke and I really don't mind. Haven't ever thought of smoking myself, just don't see the point of it..

The only problem I have with smokers is when they smoke while you're eating, think restaurant's.As Lemur said, if one wants to pollute his or her own body be my guest, just don't pollute mine.

PS : how much does a regular pack of smokes cost you in Britain ?

[English assassin]

I'm very happy I never started smoking myself, and I hope that anyone who I care about who does smokes stops.

Other than that I don't have much of an opinion.

[Reverend Joe]

Smoke what? There's a lot out there to smoke.

Voted "yes", because I smoke cigars. I don't mind cigarette smokers, but I also don't understand why they do it. Cigar smoking is relaxing, and it tastes good. Cigarette smoking... not so much. It is really a socially learned habit.

(Also, I will assume that this is restricted to Tobacco.)

[English assassin]

Oh, do cigars count? I've been known to have the odd cigar. Very civilised.

I thought it was just about cancer sticks for some reason

Well I think that was the initial poster's intention to discuss the cancer sticks.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Well, it's mostly 'cancer sticks', but you can discuss any smokable tobacco product. I personally don't like cigars as much, although i do have one just everynow and then.

[yesdachi]

I smoke sometimes (less lately, maybe one or two cigarettes a week) but I think there is a time and place for smoking, like at parties and drinking with the “boys”, you know times when you are doing so many other bad things to your body that a smoke wouldn’t matter (one of those nights I could burn thru a pak). Smoking is kind of a social thing, who likes to smoke alone, not to say that I haven’t before but it is always more fun to have a smoke and catch up on some gossip with a buddy than to smoke alone.

I think smoking while eating is disgusting and smoking around kids is shameful (thanks mom and dad).

[GiantMonkeyMan]

i don't smoke and don't particually like it... but i don't see why they should ban smoking in public places (in england) on the pretence that the people around you die from passive smoking when 7 hours in a smoke filled room does technically what 2 (or three) cigarettes would do... a statistic our government kindly left out for us

you should not Smoke around Non-Smokers At All,Period! Second Hand SMoke is just as Serious then smoking that Trash.


"I smoke on occasion. I find it attractive and cool."


it surely not cool, and it Surely Hell not Attractive. oh the hell wants to smell like Smoke and have Yellow Teeth and get Lung Cancer,eh?? is that cool and attractive when you get Lung Cancer or something and Die??

[Kanamori]

Occasionally, I smoke cigars or from a pipe. More than anything, it is a mixer, like pot. A day after I do some really intense baking, it can be nice to bring it back w/ a big cigar and mix the two.

Cigarettes, I think are generally a bad habbit. (Cigarettes taste like awful sawdust, IMO) All that they do is feed addiction. I surely understand how some can be repulsed by pugnent smoke, so I tend to only smoke by myself on walks through the forest on our property. I don't really care what you think of me after that.

[Strike For The South]

gah smokeless tobacco is the only way. A yankee perversion cancer sticks. No lung cancer and no 2nd hand smoke.

you still Get Cancer.. My Uncle did chewing tobacco ad got Mouth Cancer. a Friend of my Dad did Smokeless and got Cancer aslo..

[Csargo]

I smoke every once in a while and I'm a teenager I dont think its that bad I just do it cause I want to.

[Kanamori]

Controlling nicotine addiction is easy. If you know what it feels like, addiction in general, it's incredibly easy to avoid.

Oh wait, I'm someone who's never smoked and I'm going to lecture someone on what it feels like.

And there is such a thing as not smoking five packs of cigaretes, or any cigarettes at all, in a day. Although, on my list of biggest bodily harming drugs, it is right up there w/ alcohol and some of the dissociatives.

I say we crank gas prices, and let those of us who are physically fit to ride pedal bikes around.

[BHCWarman88]

400,000 people a year die from it,3,000 from lung cancer,as bett Said


and you Think Smoking is cool,Byzantine Prince??

[Divinus Arma]

How should I reply? I rarely rarely rarely smoke: Cigarrettes if I am totally bombed and even then maybe only once a month max, Cigars if I am gambling that night, and a tobacco pipe on the occasional warm summer night.

But yet: I find addicted smoking to be repulsive and destructive.

[Justiciar]

I smoked around 40 cigarettes a day only a year ago, before that I just had the occasional one whenever my mates were feeling generous. Now I'll only buy a pack of 10 a week, if that. I tend not to smoke in public places anymore either. I just do it when I'm alone or need to calm down/concentrate. Substitute nipples and all that tosh. Still, it keeps me from biting my nails.. usually.

Could murder a pipe though. And a descent moustache for that matter. And a fez..

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I find it disgusting, and it gets on clothes and everything. I find that too many smokers just can't seem to keep the smell out of their clothes and stuff, bringing it with them.

[Ice]

I smoke the occasional cigar, but thats about it. I'm pretty picky about what I smoke though, can't be a cheap one.

[Kanamori]

I'll also post that getting the good effects from nicotine is a very fine line to walk. Once you start to feel them, it's time to slow down on the cigar a lot, or you will end up feeling very sick and the very nasty effects of nicotine.

[R'as al Ghul]

I smoke cigarettes and the occasional funny ones.

I don't smoke around children and while others are eating.
I can't stand others smoking while I eat and I hate it when people act as if their life depended on the next cigarette. Those that take every opportunity to smoke are clearly more sick (in mind and body) than I am. I'm able to not smoke for several hours, if f. e. the work requires it.
What gets on my nerves are the tobacco fascist that start to cough when I light up a cigarette near them and we're in the street. I mean, come on!

The amount of cigs I smoke per day has declined over the years from 20-25 to 10-15. But still, I'm hopelessly addicted.

If my life plan works out, I'll quit smoking sometime in the future.....

*stumps out cigarette*

[LeftEyeNine]

If my life plan works out, I'll quit smoking sometime in the future.....

I'd like to encourage you but...well...

[Sjakihata]

I smoke the pipe a couple of times daily, I enjoy it. A warm cup of coffee, checking the org, smoking my pipe - I wouldnt miss that, and I'll gladly subtract some decades from my life in turn for just that! In fact, Im going to prepare one right about.... Mmm, better!

[Samurai Waki]

Cigarettes disgust me. I understand the nicotine addiction, I got over a rather nasty Chewing Habit when I was about 19, and man those first few months were a real ****, I was so cranky and thought I was going to die from stress. Now I'm so happy I'm not addicted anymore, though if I went back I don't think I could quit again. I also hate the former smokers who have the holier-than-though attitude towards people currently addicted.
From time to time, especially when I get hammered I might smoke the occasional cigar.

[SwordsMaster]

Only smoke cigars once in a while (Victory cigars if you will), I think its ok, as far as poisoning oneself, but poisoning others is not on. Not your kids, not co-workers, and specially NOT PEOPLE WAITING FOR THE TUBE There is little enough air underground as it is!

[solypsist]

a smoking poll here in the org? hmmmm.....

[Byzantine Prince]

If you haven't smoked you can't know how addictive it is. It's different for everyone, I've never felt addicted to it.
