Are you a smoker?

[MaraOnline]

As you can see, I just recently stopped. I am already feeling better as I can BREATHE!

If you're smoking american tobacco, you're buying bombs for our military.   

Now, are you thinking of quitting? 

[Hypatia]

I started smoking when I was 12 and quit permanently when I was 13 or 14, never started again. Haven't had a cig in 34 years now.

I smoked in my younger days, if I get really, really drunk I might bum a smoke but thats about it.

[MeganRose]

To quote a famous dead comedian, "I smoke, if this bothers anyone I recommend you looking around the world in which we live, and shutting your ****** mouth..".

But, yeah. I smoke a lot. Tried to quit a few times, didn't go so well. I depend on it too much, stress relief, routine, god knows what else, and I get so crazy emotional when I don't have my nicotine it's disgusting. I really should have stopped before I started HRT.

Oh well. I know it has to end soon. Dying of cancer is not something I want to aim for.

If you are taking HRT and smoking, that will be the least of your worries.
You are asking for a coronary episode. Right Tink?

Smokers suck

[Gray Seraph]

I was a smoker when I was in college, but it was during my self-hating period of life. It didn't help me that my roommates were both smokers. I didn't care if smoking was bad for me, at that time I really just wanted to die anyways.

I quit smoking 2 1/2 years after I started.

I haven't smoked since 1991, but I still had the craving for it, until as recently as 2 years ago.

That was the only 'substance' which I ever had a real problem with, addiction-wise.

Ah, I can almost feel the empathy in this thread. Nice to see society has progressed to the point where we have empathy for people who commit crimes, but not for people who smoke.

Hi Dennis,

   I didn't mean to be offensive. I was being literal. Smokers smell like smoke. I wasn't being judgmental, I was just trying to be ironically silly. Brevity of that answer was supposed to be part of the joke.

   Strangely, I don't care if people smoke. It is their business. I have to admit, however, that eating in a public place is easier than it was a decade ago and my allergies have actually gotten better. Sometimes at work, I go outside where the smokers are because the smell of their cigarettes brings back memories of the olden times when everybody smoked everywhere.
   Otherwise, though, if smokers have a place to smoke then it's okay.  No judgment from me.

[Nero]

I've never smoked, but ironically, I'm far more used to being around those who do. The only people I know who don't smoke are my mom (quit decades ago) and stepdad. Where I'm from, people actually found it odd because I didn't light up. I don't know about secondhand smoke and all that, but I'm used to places where an accumulated smoke cloud hangs over the room.

[Christo]

nah it aint my thing

[cheryl84]

I am a smoker, but I have substantially cut back.  I am only on a pack a week now.    I really should quit not just for the health issues, but the prices are out of control, and where I am from there is just such a negative social stigma associated with it now.   I just like it too much to give up now.  I will some day hopefully before it is to late.

I am so glad I quit just over a year ago-If I hadnt I think I woulda got really ill
