Smoking versus Dipping

[Papewaio]

Coffee only... which I suspect is linked to my asthma.

No smoking for me (see above).

I haven't seen people chew tabacco here... I have seen beatle nut chewing in Taiwan.

Same, must be US thingie. Sounds rather yukkie tbh

I had to look up dipping, and realized it is the same a what we call 'snus'.
I do neither, and have never tried.

Snus is very common here with the strict smoking regulations. Many are introduced to snus in the military for obvious reasons.

I've always found the spitting that comes with dipping a bit repulsive.

As a student, I used to smoke a lot. Once I hit the treshold of two packs a day, I decided to quit cold turkey and it worked for me.

Picked up smoking again when I smoked a cigar with my best friend the day I married. Since then, I smoke again, but rarely and only cigarillos; about 20 or 30 a year, so that's less than 1 a week. I actually like the smell of smoke

We have that in common. I had an uncle who used to smoke, and I was around him quite a bit as a kid. I used to love the smokey scent in his room.

Let me add to Centurion's question. Which of you guys smoke cigars only and never cigarettes or vice-versa. IMO both are quite different. After all one gives you cancer of mouth and the other of the lungs.

I used to smoke heavily. I quite several months ago. I used to dip in High School, it upsets my stomach now. Chewing tobbacco, I can't get by the taste, blech!

Now, I smoke an electric cigarette. I can plug it right into the USB port on my PC. It's great. Clean vapor drags and a nice nicotine hit. I will never go back to cigarettes! :D (I have a chocolate flavor on now and am about to switch to cherry.) :)

Skoal long cut mint. It tastes delicious to me at least.

I have a pretty lucky case with a strong stomach. I've gutted entire mouthfuls of spit out of certain unfortunate circumstances and survived without hurling. Sometimes when im really drink ill stick in a lip and drink with it in.....

That's funny! My grandfather was a chain smoker and I think my love for the smell of smoke comes from there. It was always nice to visit him. As a child, the smoke intrigued me. My mother hated it though, because she couldn't stand the smell of our clothes after each visit.

personally, neither.

try a sheesha instead

(fort he 1% of you who are Arab, I'm sure you'll get this instantly, but this will, for the most part, fly over the 99% of the Forum who aren't Arabs.if you are in the 99%, here is a linkhttp://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%B4%D8%A9)

I am an asthmatic also, so I have never smoked in my life, plus I don't want cancer so I leave all tobacco alone. Also any whiff of smoke and it makes me sick.

I find that smokers are the most grounded people in the world. Putting a cigarette in your mouth and lighting it up is the same as announcing to the rest of the world "We could all die any moment, why are you worried about getting Cancer thirty years from now? Lighten up."

Or at least, that's what I'm saying.

yeah, sure.

[Ibrahim]

That's the spirit!

pure, unadulterated sarcasm?

Several things wrong with that but since this is the Frontroom I'm afraid I can't tell you.

[Husar]

Could you stay mad at that face?

Yes, it emits smoke nonstop. That's even worse than some of the more annoying smokers I come across in public!

[Husar]

What?!!!? No girl! Be strong! Don't take it! He's a demon dressed like a skaterboy!

Should be obvious by the way his neck and head look like a balloon and there is no chin.

Also the big yellow thing in the background? That's one of satan's eyes, he wants to know whether he can have you, girl!
Hug that bible a bit more and politely say no!

That's actually a very novel idea. I like.

That made me laugh.

However I do not agree, it's a pity you think that way.

[Drunk Clown]

However to discuss whether someone should avoid things you might die from is not what this thread is about ;)
