I started smoking cigars shortly after I turned 18. I then moved on to a pipe, and then a hookah, and now I smoke at least a pack of Marlboro's a day.

They teach us all our lives that it's a bad habit and all, but I grew up with an immediate family that hated smoking, and and extended family that smoked like chimneystacks. The smell of tobacco is actually kind of comforting because of that. At this point, I get nothing from the nicotine, and it's somehow a relaxation thing. I've quit for periods of up to a month, just to see if I could. But really, I just feel a lot better about a lot of things when I'm smoking. Also, they're really good during a conversation, where you have to pause and think, if only not to make a fool of yourself.

i don't smoke really, occassionally i'll sit out on the porch with my friend and smoke a cigar, it's less than once a month most of the time and it's more about the conversation and having a reason to just sit out without being bored. so i still consider myself a non-smoker

cigar smoke is just as toxic if not more so however, i will say this i do love being able to sit on my back veranda in a suit and thongs and discuss world affairs.

Nods to Ultrajoe. Does sound like a cigarette fanboi.

I just hope you're not in England, because that's £6($12) you're spending a day...

Psychological comfort is not the same as Non-toxic.

Ì smoke coz it makes me look so very cool, I mean I'm in there with james dean, sammy davis, steve mcqueen, n mr bogart..... and you know what, yourt television gives you cancer, as does you pc and for christ sake most of you cook using a MICROwave oven..... and another point, if any other product was carcenagenic they would take it of the market, but for some reason not one single goverment around the word has forced their tobbacco companies to only grow natural tobbacco [IE as nature intended without all the burn longertaste better chemicals]

smoking may stink, but if we just did what the middle classes did with organic, we can have a friendly kinder smoke. and still look cool.

I guess I could be called a cigarette fanboy, but I'm cool with that. And no, I live in texas, so it's only about $5 a day. I can save about ten bucks if I buy a carton, though. Also, the city I live in is supported almost entirely by chemical companies, so smoker or not, I'm doomed to cancer.

Used to, then i moved out of home with a dude who chainsmoked and chain-gamed on games like Battlefield//Planetside etc and he'd never leave the house to smoke so within a year the house reeked like his room and his walls were covered in a thin but just visible layer of yellow tar.
i kinda just stopped smoking after that....

I don't smoke neither do any of my "gamer friends".

A note to anyone who has posted that smoking relaxes them: It only does that because you are addicted to nicotine. If you had never smoked at all you would be that relaxed all the time. Why pay someone to slowly kill you?

ive held on to the belief that "smokers are jokers" all my life:)
many of my gamer friends however do smoke. i wud liken smoking to ethuthinasia cause you're killing yourself at the end of the day, albeit very very very very very very very slowly lol.
