Smoking

[Pix]

I grew up around smokers so I have a high tolerance for it.

That said I think it stinks (and the smell gets in everything and I used to burn a lot of incense when I lived with smokers), I get angry when a smoker burns any of my furniture, I hate how many just throw their butts on the ground (especially if its still lit), and I'm just baffled that so many people would waste their money on it. I can understand smoking pot (though that made me cough horribly back when I did that as a teen) but how does tobacco even compare? I tried smoking and hated it each time (and the time with a cigar was even worse, though I smoked it wrong because no one told me how to smoke it). But what I hate the most is its a fire hazard, and I've seen some very irresponsible people throwing lit cigarettes out of car windows before as well as watching my dad fall asleep with a lit cigarette in his hands.

One enlightening bit to me was when an ex of mine moved out I was worried that I wouldn't have enough money to get by...but found that without her addictions like smoking I ended up having MORE at the end of the month than I did when she added her income to mine.

Up until now all my long term serious lovers had been smokers but now that I'm in a serious relationship with a nonsmoker I hope I never have to go back to living with a smoker. mile:

i am a non-smoker. i personally dont care what somebody else does, unless its smoking in a car, or around a kid.

I don't smoke and never tried, I mean I have tried but not properly I guess.
I personally don't have problems with people smoking. My ex boyfriends used to smoke and I was quite OK with that unless one of them tried to make me start smoking.
My current boyfriend doesn't smoke and I like it. He smokes rarely in clubs and I hate it just because I care about his health.
So my point is that I don't care if someone smokes but still not smoking is definitely better.

I generally believe it a waste of money and health...but have been known to enjoy a good cigar with my drink. One cigar every few months won't harm you more than car exhaust.

But I don't like cigarettes and wouldn't date a cigarette smoker.

Just out of curiosity, what's enjoyable about a cigar? :confused:

I think people have a right to smoke, it should just be common courtesy not to do so in a crowded public place. I've been smoking for about 7 years now(quitting first of the year though) and the 3 months at bootcamp was the biggest break I've ever taken. Do it in your car or at home.

I don't smoke but the smell of cigar and pipe smoke does have a certain attraction, goodness knows why?????

I started smoking when I was 17 years old. Absolutely the WORST habit I have ever picked up. 23 years later and I hav changed over to electronic cigs. They are actually a water-based nicotine delivery system--no tar, no more pulmonary damage. I tried to quite many times over the past 22 and some years (patches, gum Chantix) but this has been the first time I really feel like I have actually made a positive change. They rock.
