Smoking

[AttackOfTheMark]

I am a smoker and find it to be a good way to find a common point of interest to begin chatting about, though I can't say that I enjoy the smell anytime other than when I need a pick-me-up and at that point it's more of an "I know I'll be relaxed very soon!" kind of feeling.

Tl;dr -- I like to smoke but don't like the smell 99% of the time. Avoid it if you can, I've been sucked into the vortex and don't recommend it as a place to be!

Used to smoke, but it was because I was always stressed about being in the closet, and afraid of ppl finding out. Smoked weed as well to keep me "Happy" since I was depressed.

I quit both almost the same week that I came out of the closet and haven't looked back, except the occasional habit-craving, since I'd been smoking for years.

i just started smoking, and ive gotta say, its pretty good so far. im starting to get addicted quite a bit but i enjoy it so im not too worried

Smoking is definitely a no no in my book, anything that can damage your health like that to me just is a bit wrong. But everyone has their own tastes.

MMm, I tried smoking and it was okay at first, but then the smoke and the smell just started making me sick..so now I do it only very rarely. And I kind of dislike guys who smoke, although it's also hot in a way...hmm...BUt still, I wouldn't ever try to like..enforce my likes and dislikes about smoking on a smoker, everyone does what they wanna do. :]

I've been a on again off again smoker for 20 years. Yes it can feel great particularly in social situations drinking with friends. I've given up twice. Once for a year and once for four years. It can be one of the most difficult things to do. I always find the best incentive not to smoke is how much money I'd save over 12 months. I'm looking at quiting again as I took up the habit again last December. I've had one failed attempt to quit this year but I am determined to be off it again by years end.

I hate people who smoke because of two reasons. First I am kind of alergic to the smoke and it makes my eyes get all watery and I usually choke, this is why I can sence a smoking person from tens of yards and I can immediately tell if someone is a smoker unless he/she has taken a shower. Secondly it is the fact that I don't understand smoking. Due to the fact that it makes me choke, I have never tried smoking, and I don't understand how one cigarette can make you calm, therefor it seems very unnessecery and kind of phony. I don't want to offend anyone, and to show you what I mean I will give you an example. I keep seeing people around me who keep moaning about how poor they are, how they don't have enough money for food, and at the same time they are spending 4$ every day on a box of cigarettes, which is 120$ per month, which is like 25% of their income.

never have- never will. I've engraved it into my head that smoking is like suicide. so i'll never do it (same with drinking).
