There is an ongoing thread about lighters and I noticed in it that most people said they owned lighters but also said they don't smoke anything.

I personally have quite an affinity towards tobacco. Also a physical addiction.

I've been smoking tobacco somewhat since December but only very frequently (around half a pack a day) since this semester started to keep me awake in between classes.

So, do you smoke? If not, did you used to?
Yeah, my bong gets the most action, but when I'm out of weed I prefer hand rolled cigarettes (Gauloises). I also occasionally smoke an actual pipe (with W.O. Larsens sweet blend).

I have never smoked a hand rolled cigarette. I've heard it is better than a store bought in some ways though.

Smoked pipe tobacco a few times. Always fun.

I have a bong that gets quite a bit of use as well, but I still smoke tobacco more often.

Nay, I do not. I have a brother that smokes and it smells awful, and it just seems to expensive to even think about without looking at my game collection. What will I ever do if I don't have the next game after I completed my current game, it's unthinkable, and unheard of to anyone.

I smoke on a very small occasion, the most I ever smoked in one day was seven cigarettes that I shared with my friends that we bummed off a few people at a concert. I can go months without smoking. But, if I can get the chance, I'll smoke. Maybe not with just some random person that offers me a cig, but if I'm either really stressed(and I mean I'm about to light my hair on fire then pull the stems out of my skull stressed) or if I'm with certain friends. Or, if I want to meditate a bit, and I'm out at night and it's nice and quite and peaceful, I'll light one up, stare into the sky, and let myself fall into oblivion.

As for non-smokers(as this is obviously where the thread is going) I don't like them. I don't care if you don't smoke, I don't care if you say you don't smoke. I don't even care if you're a good friend and say it's not a good idea for me to smoke. But for strangers that will walk around and call people out at random for smoking need, those are the guys that I hate, those are the non-smokers. It'd be like wearing a cross around a Mosque or Temple and talking about how wonderful Jesus is. If I'm too close to you, and you ask politely, I'll leave. I don't like to be around a lot of people when I smoke, nor be close to random people, but I can understand people have sensitive smelling or lungs and even at a good distance it might make them a little uneasy. However, there was once this time when I was outside a McDonalds at lunch, having a daily cigarette, and this chick(and this was really my worst experience with it in terms of self rightous people) walked by, and said big and loud right before she walked in "cancer stick" as though it was just some little part of her normal conversation with a friend that slipped, and went inside. I can deal with the assholes that come and act self rightous to my face, but the passive aggressive front is just annoying. At least be straight forward about your convictions, don't be so passive. Hell, even someone that says it just walking by in the park is fine, but she did it and fled into a restaurant, knowing I couldn't go in after her to tell her off unless I wasted my cigaretter, or waited. It's just cowardly.

Yay, I'm a minority!
With the way the whole world is demonizing smokers the next big step will be the gestapo sending us all to camps.

I'm not going to lie, smoking is one of the things that baffles me about human behavior. I just don't fucking get it. I know that its hard to quit but why the fuck would you start in the first place? I have nothing against people who do smoke but I think they made a very foolish choice to start.

Some people might disagree with me with this but considering 70% of people who do smoke want to quit I think that the majority of people either do or someday when they realize what they've done to themselves will agree with me. Although I won't lie, I might have a celebrational cigar on my birthday, Christmas, World Series, etc. you know the important days. But its at most 4 or 5 a year tops.

Never have, never will and, with no interest what soever. That being said though, it's bullshit that smokers are being demonized by just about everyone. As for people who don't smoke and add a smug statement about how much better they are or how much longer they're going to live; never have there been such a large group of cunts outside of a gynecologist's office.

~and people who can eat an entire cheesecake in a single sitting hate themselves for it too.
At least they *enjoyed* it.

Smoking is awesome and I encourage all of you to start. The best bit is being able to take a break 10 minutes out of every hour.
Totally not worth the smell, the rasping, the coughing and the dying in a pool of my own phlegm (I'm really asthmatic).

OT: No. See above.

Very rarely will smoke from a Hooka but that is only in social gatherings. Will never let a cig or cigar touch my lips in this lifetime.

I used to enjoy playing with fire, but I don't do it anymore because I don't want to get burnt. I'm not going to preach to you to stop but just because people enjoy smoking isn't going to change my mind about it being a foolish choice considering the negative effects it has on your health and therefore your lifespan. The very minute level of happiness it gives me isn't worth the addiction, the toll on your life span or the hit to the wallet. If you continue to smoke, fine. I honestly don't really care that much. I don't think its evil, I don't think its immoral. I just think its dumb.

"Deal with it" Monkey says it's his problem, not yours, and to find a hobby that doesn't involve telling people their bidness.

I need to find a pic of a monkey with glasses eating a chicken leg so I can say the same thing in the "meat is murder" threads.

Don't smoke anything, have absolutely no intention of ever starting. I may be overly concervative when it comes to smoking, alcohol and drugs though. Bad memories!

I started smoking about 10 years ago. But since I discovered the joys of snus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus] it has been less.
Eeeheheeeeew. Snus is so disgusting! Some guy smiling and laughing, and all you see is the black horror sticking out from under his lip. And it looks so stupid! At least smoking looks cool!

I don't have anything to deal with because I don't have a problem with it. Its your life, I don't give a shit about what you do with it.

Used to smoke more, like 5-10 cigs a day when I was in college. For the past 10 years though, it's an average of one a day or one a week. People who smoked heavily are amazed how I control it like that, I guess I was lucky to never form a physical dependency. Even though I smoke so little, sometimes even 4 a month, I still consider myself a smoker coz you either are or you aren't, can't really squeeze my way out of that one. I exercise a shitload more than I smoke though, so I hope that evens it out in my favor...

Exercise just makes your lungs refuse the nutritional value of tobacco smoke.
The best thing you can do is spend 8 hours a day on the couch and top it with the b12 gained from massive amounts of fritos and funyuns.

Had many a weekend like that buddy...still do once in a while. Just without as much weed, which makes it all the easier when you don't even notice the hours ticking by. It's funny, at university I did it totally guilt-free, coz nobody was getting on my back for it...nowadays, the guilt comes because I'm older and I think shit I should be doing something with my life.

Hell who am I kidding. Goddamn I LOVE smoking. On weekends, if anybody even hints on going out for a drink, I'll have several whiskies and charge through a pack in no time (gotta have smoking mates for that to happen though). Fortunately that doesn't happen too often.
