I don't smoke and I can't stand it. There's lots of threads about this already... but I can't stand the smell of smoke. It just makes me sick and there's no good reason to do it.

I smoke cigarettes occasionally. I hadn't smoked since the spring, but I actually just bought a pack today since school has been pretty stressful and smoking helps me calm down. Once I'm done with this pack, I'll probably stop for a while again. I only go through a couple packs a year like that. I also enjoy smoking hookahs and have been known to try the occasional cigar.
there is nothing quite like that first fag of the day when your half way through your morning coffee
Socially. I'll bum a square off a friend when we're together
Weed is more of a, its there so why not smoke it thing
I would not go out of my way to do either

I fucking love that end of work cigarette, and a cig works wonders if I'm feeling stressed. I don't smoke heavily but I do smoke regularly - yes, I fucking know the health risks, they are hammered into me every stupid advert, every warning on the box, every anti-smoking billboard, but that's the point - people who smoke are very fucking aware of the potential risks.
And that's another thing - risk. Smoking one cigarette does not equal death, contrary to the imagery of the rabidly fascistic 'advice' given by some anti-smoking organisations. Hell, smoking a thousand, ten thousand, etc over a long period of time still only increases risk. Ok, it'll be the most likely cause of death if you're lucky enough to live a long life, but fuck it, what is life without any risk? Every breath you take in any given city is potentially filled with carcinogens and toxic chemicals. Every time you use household cleaning products or get a new carpet or fill your car you are breathing in nasty shit.
In the UK where I live, you can't smoke in an enclosed public place. Fine, that's taken any risk of breathing concentrated smoke away from people, and ironically created a great reason to go out of a club for a smoke - to have a conversation away from the loud music. After all the warnings, misinformation, scare tactics, and now this, it seriously fucks me off to see people ready and willing to give another verbal kick in the balls about how I'm harming others.
Err.. lost my train of thought a bit halfway through... Rant over I guess
EDIT: I just enjoyed a cigarette right now. Did I hurt anyone? No.

I don't smoke, and I don't think it should be legal. Of course, this idea is absurd to governments because the taxes placed on cigarettes generate so much revenue. But, someone has probably already said this in the last six pages, so I'm probably wasting my breath.
I don't smoke. I have no problems with my friends smoking, even if I do worry about them a little, but they have their reasons and they're not ignorant about it being bad for them.
I've tried cigarettes an'.. Yeah. Didn't like the taste, an' I didn't like smelling like an ashtray (they were cheap and nasty cigs, which didn't help).
That being said, I love the smell of fresh tobacco. My best friend rolls her smokes and DAMN that stuff smells good. Then it is ruined by being set on fire. ;_;

No smoking at all apparently.
I'm up for weed, and maybe a cigar but I've never viewed myself as a decadent and fancy little guy who smokes cigars and rides on yachts, fishing the Gandhi and negotiating with Cuba.

Keep smoking to a minimum, and it feels nice. Smoke a pack a day and end up feeling chalky mouthed and gross (for me anyway). So I try and only smoke 4 a day.
Unfortunately during exams (right now) I always end up having about 5-8 a day. Once the stress is over it will go back down.
