Cigarette Smoking?

Thought it would be an interesting topic. Do you smoke? Did you ever try smoking? Do you have a cigarette every now and then? If you do smoke, do you like it? or you wish to quit?

I don't smoke and don't intend on doing it any time soon.

For 34 years now. Really, I can't believe it's been that long. I started inhaling when I was 12 but actually tried cigarettes when I was 8. Craziness! Oh yeah, I thought I was cool. I have quit three times for six months and did for six weeks about a year ago. For me, I find it harder and crave more as time goes on. Not a good sign.

Yep. That pretty much sums me up as well.  I'd rather waste my money on buying more music.

 Good man.

Smoked for 34 years but gave up on New Year's Eve 2008.

Had enough of the people that wouldn't let me have a fag (yes, that's what we call them in England) while enjoying a pint of ale.

I used to frequent the local clubs a fair bit when I was single a few years back but gave that up too, I'd much rather inhale smoke than smell another humans body odour 

I'm a happy smoker!   But only roll ups and cigars. I hate the taste (and the concept) of all the extra chemicals put in 'proper' ciggarettes. If I choose to smoke and enjoy smoking I think I have a right to know EXACTLY what I'm inhaling, so it's the pure, Indian style, expensive stuff for me. I you're going to enjoy a smoke, smoke the good stuff, not the mass marketed crap, that's what I say. Puff away...

never ever had the feeling that I need to start smoking cigarette's!

Only had the occasional "social" cigarette, like when drinking (and only rarely) or if I was out with a group/friend who smoked.
Pretty sure I've had a cigg like 5 or 6 times in my whole life.

No need to go into the health factors and price since we know about that, but never did anything for me. Maybe because I was always relaxed? Like I never had the "need" for one or got a good feeling from it. At best a cigg was just....neutral.

Don't have a problem with others smoking, big believer of to each their own. I even let em smoke in my car which is a huge no no for my parents, and brother.

Don't know about other countries but the smoking regulation here in the US has gotten insane, especially in NJ it's pretty much a state wide indoor ban (even bars) and some public places even have banned it! Ridic.
