Do you smoke

Yep. Have since I was 15 (so 7 years now). My habit has picked up dramatically in the last year-year and a half. I'm at a pack (20 cigarettes. And they're 100s) a day now.
Part of the reason is that all four of my roommates are also chronic smokers with only one who smokes less than me.
I've quit a couple of times, but never for long (although I've quit other things permanently). I don't plan on quitting again until I start trying to have kids (or accidentally have one), assuming I make it doesn't kill me first (/morbidhumor). I know I shouldn't with under-developed lungs and a definitely less-than-healthy body; not to mention that my mom is in her early forties and is about to lose all her teeth from it (and I smoke more than her and started way before she did), but...I'm addicted. Yes, I know how bad it is to my body, but I accept the lazy convenience of the immediate stress relief over the more-than-likely future damage. I tried E-Cigs once, when they first started becoming popular, but didn't like them. The one that I had was supposed to emulate Menthol cigarettes (which are all I smoke) and a couple of hits off of it gave me a pretty bad headrush so I've just stuck to the real thing.
I try to be respectful about it. If I'm smoking and walking, I avoid doorways and other people as much as I can. When I sit outside and smoke, I try to seclude myself from where people tend to travel and always keep the smoke away from kids and elders as much as I can help it. I don't smoke in my friends' cars or houses unless they specifically permit me (and even then, only if I know that they're smokers as well. Whether they're okay with it or not, I'll admit the smell sucks and I don't want that smell sticking to their things).
That's pretty much my whole justification for it, even though it's not much so...yeah, I'm addicted to it (seriously, about to smoke one right now).

 

I say this out of concern: You really should stop. It's bad for your health.

 

Yeah, I smoke. I realize it's a very bad habit, and there's no real reason for me to do it. That said, I don't smoke that often. It's like 2 packs a week (especially since packs are so goddamn expensive over here), and I'm not really addicted to it. When I'm sick, I stop smoking until I get better. When I go to my parent's place, I stop smoking throughout the remainder of my stay (because they hate the fact that I smoke).
I do plan on switching to electronic cigarettes, but I'm still not too keen on its pros and cons yet since we don't know the long term effects of it. Buuut it's probably better than actual cigs.

 

Guess I should contribute to my own thread.

I'm in the "sometimes" category- I don't smoke from day to day, hardly ever in fact. Only when I'm drinking with friends. Idk. I just like a few fags when I'm getting drunk (fag is britspeak for cigs moreso than it is a derogatory term for gay people where I'm from pls don't kill me)

 

So is the soda I'm drinking.
Like I said, I know how bad it is, but I'm still taking the risk, despite understanding just how virtually nonexistent my chances of it not destroying my body somehow are.

 

Sugar is nowhere near as bad, just FYI.

 

I know, but it isn't good for me either (ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I FOUND OUT SUGAR RUSHES ARE MOSTLY JUST PLACEBO).
I know how bad it is for me. I'm still going to do it.

 

Nope. Don't see the appeal so don't plan on starting anytime soon.

Straight edge 4 lyfe

 

I used to smoke like a horse but folk keep laughing at me.



I haven't smoke since.

 

I've tried it once before and neither felt bad or good about it. I have two siblings who aren't heavy smokers, but I see them do it from time to time. They work in professions where smoking is a common stress reliever. Sure, they could definitely try to find some other way of relieving stress, but especially in jobs and workplaces where the demand and pressure is high for complete attention and energy 10-12 hours a day, it's hard for them not to smoke one during one of their only few breaks. So, I understand how people can't simply quit because of many circumstances they can't really get out of so easily. At least I am happy that I find everyone I know who smokes wanting to quit someday. To think around fifty years ago the government said smoking was healthy for you lololol

 

Well you should quit well in advance before you try having a kid, you cleanse your body a bit. Not much you can do about accidentals though

 

I wasn't going to, but now I kind of want to because you can't tell me what to do.

 

My body does. I guess I'm just too damn hot.​

 

Had eight in one night at a party when my ex showed up.
Have a few when I drink, or if I have a ****** day.
Wanna try e-cigs.

 

No, I'm good without. It's an expensive habit I'm not interested in nursing. I'd rather save the money for video games, books, and food. Plus, I don't like the smell.

 

Smoked brisket and pork, to be precise. Liquid smoke is just not the same, though.

 

Never have, never will.
Sadly my dad smokes a lot, and my entire family's trying to get him to quit. so far, that only succeeded in getting him to smoke in secret.

 

As long as I can remember, my Dad has always smoked, but he tries to hide it from my step-mother. He tries not to smoke in front of me, but he'll do it on occassion while we're in the car and I either whine at him or blackmail him with telling Dawn (my step-mom) until he puts it out.
I remember him quitting for a while when I was little but sometime after my parents divorced he started up again.

My sister started at a young age and she's smoked forever as well. My brother started smoking when he was in the army. Two of my step-brothers smoke as well, and basically I tell everyone that if you want to smoke then please keep it 25 feet away from me at all times because ew.

I did take one puff of one of my brothers cigarettes, once. As quoted from my tumblr;

smoking is gross okay

 

Tried a cigar once, and figured out that smoking (shockingly) is not my thing. Helps that it carries a ton of issues with it, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

 

I smoke at work so that I can get the hourly smoke breaks.

Nah jk, I don't see the appeal in paying for getting my lungs destroyed.
