Firstly, this is not a thread to debate the morality of smoking (until page 3 anyway:p ), but, more relevantly, who smokes, how regularly, and what?

Personally, I probably have maybe 5-10 a week, and smoke Lucky Strikes, anything else makes me feel bad.

Marlboro Lights, about 10 per day

when i'm around family, I don't smoke at all

I and my boyfriend smoke Camel Lights and Turkish Gold (depending on the whim of whomever's turn it is to buy and availability), and I think if it's a bad day we're hitting maybe......4 a day, maybe 5. But we also share a pack, because I used to be a much heavier smoker and, well, he has more self-control. So he keeps it.

*waits for the anti-smokers*

Camels, randomly, I don't have a nicotine addiction (i'v currently not smoked in weeks, and I regularly go weeks with out smoking and no craving) I just enjoy the flavour of them on occasion.

Hello! *waves*

Chesterfield, about a pack a day and sometimes pot.

I don't smoke tobacco, but I do occasionally smoke pot, if you must know.

Hello! *waves*
Oh, hey, what are you doing here?! *waves to spammer / hijacker*

Hello! *waves*
Well hello!

Azarbad reminds me, I should mention....during the month or so that I was sick, I think I only smoked like, four days of it, and all at the end. I don't usually really have cravings, in fact I got a few days without even thinking of a cigarette, but it's usually my only excuse at work to catch a break with my boyfriend.

I smoke, I try different brands and am not partial to any one of them. I smoke between 0 and 30 cigarettes a day. Some weeks I don't smoke, others I do.

Anti-smokers will tell you that anyone who smokes is "addicted;" this is total and complete horseshit.

:eek: I only said hello...

here i am!

i dont smoke and never have

smoking is one of the more stupid habits you can take up. its addictive and deadly. if you dont smoke you shouldnt start; if you do smoke you should quit now.

not that i give a damn what you do, its your life.

Your wait is over. :) I don't put cancer sticks in my mouth. I may smoke while I'm on NS General, but that's from internally generated heat, not poison sticks. *ducks*

What about those of us who smoke because it's deadly?

Based on both sides of my family, I'm staring down at least a 90 year sentence on this earth. All I'm trying to do is level the playing field.

I did quit for awhile (about seven months), but that's because I was doing much more addictive, much more deadly things, so I decided that cigarettes were probably a better alternative. I used them to break that addiction, and then I wore down how often I smoked them.

I smoke irregularly, but it's about one pack a day.

I know, I'm dead to you people. But right know, I was considering going out to get some.

Don't smoke cigarettes. Smoke joints though, and I use Golden Virginia in them. Or occasionally rum flavoured tobacco, but that's only when a friend of mine is rolling.

How do you guys all pull down a pack a day? Even when I was smoking pretty regularly, it was only like, 12 a day.....I'm either a total pussy, or I was much busier than you guys.....

I smoke what real men smoke. Bullets.

I live in the Balkans. We tend to avoid works and other human activities over here, and instead concentrate on vices.

yeah... i can go for days without any and i'm not climbing the walls.

I get bored at work/home... and one must take breaks... so it's something to do.

If I had a football under the desk, i'd take that outside and play catch with someone instead.

Vanilla's better. Top tip.;)

I quit about two months ago. Used to smoke about 10 camel filters or camel red (or lucky strikes, if I could find them) per day.


No I smoke about 2 cigs a month, and only when I am smoking pot at the same time.

It's quite easy really. You just have one in your mouth with whatever you're doing.

I may hate smoking but I still admire tobacco companies for their corporate masterminds that have been selling poison to people for centuries.

I blame the British. Sorry about selling you poisons, everyone! (even though I play no part in it at all, I'd prefer to show that I care)

Ah, well....when you have a non-smoking family, and you're also a flute player during most of your smoking, and you live in the Fine Arts dorms instead of the smoking dorms (back when I lived in the dorms, at least), and you don't want your car to smell like smoke, and you can't just smoke on the job.....I guess that cuts down the available smoke-time quite a bit.

It's the Spanish and the Arawak, I tell you. The British are the ones to blame for bland food. Really, really bland.

Feck orf!

Bland food is the product of the American view that everything should be sterilised. Try fish and chips from Bridlington. That's utterly delicious and not that sterilised.

My uncle once said to me that if you smoke before a certain age you are naive. If you smoke after a certain age, you are an idiot who has no sense of self.

Personally, I never saw the point in poisoning yourself and paying to do it to boot.

No, my friend. Bland food=Brits is the only thing that the French and Americans agree on. That should tell you something.

i once tried to convince my sister (a nurse) that the government should promote smoking as a way to save social security. that the problem isnt a lack of young people but a lack of DEAD people. smokers die much younger than non smokers and many will never collect even one social security payment. its a win/win thing.

she said something about me being cold and heartless.

:eek: I only said hello...
It doesn't address the subject of the OP, which consitutes spamming / hijacking, just like this post for example. :)

Smoke a bit of sheesha occasionally. More for the social side of things than anything. Apart from the Iranian tea they serve.
mmm iranian tea...

Well, in Thank You For Smoking, Naylor directly says that the reason he's the frontman for the tobacco industry is population control....

Well, if not addressing the OP was stopped, this forum would collapse through a lack of posts. :p

Besides, I was replying to a comment, so nah.

Funny. When I'm around family, I tend to smoke alot more.

I smoke Bugler rolling tobacco. I have the lungs of a man of steel.

No, my friend. Bland food=Brits is the only thing that the French and Americans agree on. That should tell you something.

Fine, it's less interesting than French food, which is utterly tasty, but it's much, much less boring than American food, and is served in non-ridiculous amounts.

parliament menthol lights.
half pack a day. pack on the weekends if im drunnnnnk.

smokers pride. <3

Tear the roof off the mutha sucka!

I couldn't agree more, american food is just about the worst food in the world. Even some of the most famous chefs would prefer a suculant British Roast Beef dinner rather then some crazy spicey exotic crap.

One of my friend's is a drunk smoker - he gets wasted with everyone, then either bums cigarettes from people who smoke or goes and buys a pack himself. I watched him go through 15 a few weeks ago in one night, then not smoke for almost 2 weeks. 'Tis strange.

Or, you know, roll blunts or smoke bongs. No baccy at all there...

Smoking and drinking seem to go together. My friend's mom had to quit smoking after she got emphasema, and she stopped drinking about the same time. His wife stopped drinking because of her medication, and she reduced her smoking considerably.

well can you think of anything as glamourous/sexy as a cigarette in one hand and a martini in the other?

i cant!!

Oh, of course. Although American is not really bland - it's more like suicidal.

A wad of money in one hand and a gun in the other.

I don't smoke. Hate the way it smells and hate the way cancer tastes in the morning.

second hand smoke...delicious

Heather Graham and Angelina Jolie making passionate love to each other in my bedroom compares somewhat.

I roll my own, usually with Golden Virginia, because it's about half as expensive as buying ready-rolled cigs (Also I smoke pot most weekends so rolling tobacco is handy). I smoke 5 cigarettes per weekday: 3 morning, 2 evening. Weekends I smoke between 1 and 10 per day.

I can't believe people who smoke a pack or more of fags every day! (I assume you're referring to a 20-pack). I understand tobacco addiction, but I don't understand how your cravings could possibly to compel you to smoke that extensively. You're going to die super-young!

I grew up around a family that smoked. All of them. Extended and local. I don't want to smoke - it's a waste of money, time, and health.

I also recently saw "Thank You For Smoking" - it only reinforced every negative thing I'd ever said about smoking... smoking, and politics.

haha, ironic because i saw "thank you for smoking" and was proud to be a smoker. i <3 personal freedoms to make individual desicions.

i smoke one to two packs a day. i dunno why. i just do. when im in the car i have to smoke, when i use the computer i have to smoke...and my day consists of working at a computer and driving to and from job interviews right now (hopefully to ajob soon). I also smoke argeela (sheesha) at night. i dont smoke in front of my mother or my family (aunts, uncles, grandparents). ummmm ohh i smoke Davidoff One's, I used to smoke Marlboro red's but thank god i stopped that. even though quitting all together would be a much better plan. but oh well.

haha, ironic because i saw "thank you for smoking" and was proud to be a smoker. i <3 personal freedoms to make individual desicions.

Yeah, the personal freedom part is great. It's the part where the loopholes and technicalities of argument make bullshit the truth and convince people smoking isn't bad for you that I dislike.

I smoke 15-20 Camel Lights a day...mostly because my third-shift job gives me every excuse to go out every hour on the hour and have another.

I also smoke far more pot than I should. :D

well, see here is the thing. no one things that cigarettes are good for you. no one thinks that they aren't bad for you. we all know they are bad, we all know they hurt, we all know that we should be drinking seaweed juice and taking mudbaths instead. but thats not how everyone chooses to relax. yes, tobacco companies are shitty, yes they lied and fabricated information in the past (and im sure that they still do) -- but the fact of the matter is, we all know the dangers, and we still choose to do it.

personal freedomz, say what.

I know. I agree with personal freedom, I just wish companies wouldn't be such bastards.

20 to 30 cigarettes per day for about 9 years, up until February of the past year when I finally managed to quit :) I had to resort to a treatment though, but I made it. I bought a pack of cigarettes a few days ago to help me fight an abnormally large amount of stress, smoked about 6 cigarettes to help me calm down and tossed the rest of the pack; no addiction recurrence whatsoever.

Gauloises rolling tobacco, no filter, about 40g over 3 days. I smoke whenever and wherever I can.
