I've been on and off cigarettes for the past half a decade, and always find that I end up getting back on to the little bastard cancer sticks after witnessing the coolest character in the film/game of the year happily chain-smoking and getting all the women!

I used to be a big weed smoker (and i mean big, like everyday for 10 years, didn't help that my long term ex was too) but never smoked ciggy only joints however when quitting the weed about 18 months ago I used cigarettes as a crutch and now i'm stuck smoking them though i only smoke 4 or 5 a day, wish i had never started though and would love to quit but i'll hold my hands up and say i'm an addict (seriously don't start kids it's not worth it)
I smoke cigars and pipes. They're still carcinogenic, but since you don't inhale when you smoke them, your chances for lung cancer aren't as high. However, it opens you up to a wonderful host of different cancers: throat, tongue and so on. I doubt the rates are quite as high, since your mouth tends to heal a lot faster than your lungs, but I wouldn't recommend chain smoking.Saskwach said:
They're both great for gaming and writing, though. They require just enough maintenance to keep your hands busy between respawns/paragraphs, and smoking seems to occupy the part of your brain that needs to interact with the outside world.
Also, cigars and pipe tobacco are just that - tobacco. They typically don't come with all of the wonderful chemical additives that are in most cigarettes.
You can't beat a good cigarette whilst gaming. Most of my friends who I LAN it up with on a regular basis don't smoke, but I do enjoy a fag whilst gaming at home. Makes victory all the more sweeter. After a 5 mile run one goes down well too. I'd rather smoke cigars though, theres something about them thats appealing. Proper cigars, not those little skinny ones you get, I want a big ol' fat Cuban. (I wish)
Whilst I agree with your sentiments, I said the same thing as a teenager. Watch yourself.Dreamkllr said:
I don't smoke. I hate work and generally decide on the worth of purchases I make by how much slavery I had to do to acquire the money for it. To pay for a roof over my head seems logical, but I hate the idea of more hours of misery to support a habit. Having said that, if you offer me weed...I am up for it.
Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs.Saphatorael said:

As with Yahtzee, If I needed to lose money, I'd drive over to the Lions Gate Bridge and drop it off. I'd also film it and put it on Youtube. And If I need to get mouth cancer, maybe I'll start liking the fiberglass containers at work.
When offered. Which is mainly at large gatherings, where the real party takes place with the smokers outside. This also means that the smells brought on by the smoke hardly linger, either; as they are easily outdone by the alcohol on everyone's breath or even the aura of aftershave.
I only smoke Marijuana, and i do so for medical and creative reasons. I only do it seldom though.
Never smoked, but that's not really a matter of choice; I'm allergic to tobacco and tobacco smoke. That'd kill me long before cancer and emphysema would. I'm also allergic to dope and have weird reactions to pharmaceuticals.
Good thing I can still drink, or I'd be doomed to a life of chemical virtue.

I smoke. I don't do it to look cool and I don't do it because I like the taste. They don't calm my nerves, they don't help me sleep, and they certainly don't improve my self-image.
I smoke because I am a filthy drug addict. I like to think of my habit as 'Suicide by increments'.
Don't start kids, they're realy bad for you.
I'm off for a smoke.

I used to be fairly bad, pack a day or more, and I stopped for health reasons. These days I'm a "casual" or "social" smoker - I'll head out with friends for one if that's the case, or occasionally I'll have one in a bar as a way to unwind and relax, but I'm nowhere near what I did before. I never smoked while gaming or in the midst of a session though.
Cigars. All shapes and sizes. With a bourbon, water, and lemon. Great for when you have to put on the writer pants.
Smoking is just an expensive death, tell you what, just buy a gun and some ammo, same price but much quicker.
