First time was on a school trip to Italy, didn't really enjoy it. Later I started smoking other stuff which was mixed with baccy, gave up smoking that but carried on smoking baccy, only smoke roll-ups and pipes as straights generally have worse quality baccy and are about 5 times the price!
Why did/would you start smoking?

I've smoked a couple times. If I'm out with the guys drinking and one of them has a cigar I might bum a puff or two but thats about it. Never had a want or need to start doing it at any other time. I figure if I can make it through my mother's passing and the family feud that caused it without smoking, I can make it through anything.
I started smoking a few years ago, shortly after starting a job in a kitchen. It was a combination of curiosity and the want to find a way to deal with the stress. I was a light smoker for a few years, and just a year ago quit, cold turkey. After quitting and hanging out with my friends who still smoked I realized just how horrible it smelled. I had been contemplating quitting for a few months prior, so when I was finally ready to quit, I simply did. I didn't struggle with the cravings (in fact, I don't remember any) and haven't had a single puff since. So, yay, right?
I smoke under two circumstances.
1) I'm stressed as fuck.
2) It feels like a poignant thing to do.
(The latter option rarely happens, mostly it's when a mate and I are hanging out and we feels it's fitting for the situation. Usually after a serious bro talk or something.)
Either way, there's a third prerequisite: Someone needs to give me a cigarette. I never buy them for myself.
All this sharply limits the frequency with which I smoke, usually it's like once every three months, which I'm okay with for now.

I don't smoke, and I don't really plan to. Too many bad sides opposing the good sides of smoking (yes, I did a Pro/Con-list for smoking once).
Though, if I were going to smoke it'd be because it looks cool and all bad-ass characters in videogames and anime do it! [/bad joke]
Seriously though, don't feel like I'm judging you or anything if you do smoke, it's your life and you're free to do with it as you please. All I'm saying is that smoking is not for me.

I started smoking because we mixed weed with tobacco in our doobies in england, because it wwas mostly hash and it was the only way, except a pipe.
I quit because it was annoying having to smoke all the time or feeling bad, I also started to associate tobacco cravings with wanting a joint so I always wanted a joint. Which is bad obv.

Don't you think it is a bit strict to hate people for their weakness? As for the car example, just because I smoke doesn't mean I want to die. I want to quit, I just feel it's impossible to do so at the moment.Gxas said:
Yes, I smoke out of weakness. When a major event shook my life I felt extremely depressed. I took up smoking because I thought I could make the pain go away. Time healed me, but the habit stuck with me. I tried quitting but I found myself flying into fits of rage and yelled at people close to me (might have something to do with my self diagnosed mental instability).
Now pot is a completely different story!
More or less this, though I only really tend to smoke when I'm drunk, it's just enjoyable.neoninnin said:
I can happily go for weeks without though, so I guess I just don't have an addictive personality.
Shits and giggles.
I figured, hey, I'm young, I'm angry, I'm self-destructive. I should get hooked on the cancer sticks.
So I did. It was pretty cool.

OT: I don't smoke currently. A lot of people have told me it helps with stress, but I've never really needed anything to help with that.
