Why did you start smoking?

I started smoking hash rolled in tobacco, but I didn't smoke regular cigarettes. But one faithful morning I got woken up by a ticket man on a train. He smiled at my miserable state and said: "We have stopped, please get off the train." When I got out, I realized that I had the worlds worst hang over and had no idea where I was. Apparently I had been very drunk(and stupid) the night before, and stepped on a train going to the other side of Sweden. I wandered about a bit until I found a corner store. Went in, got a liter of orange juice, a large cup of coffee and a pack of smokes. Planted my ass on the curb, drank the liquid, lit up a smoke and started making phone calls. From that day on, I've been a true addict.

I started because of stress. I was having severe relationship problems at the time and to calm my nerves a friend gave me a cig. This was many years ago and now I wish I never started... It's a nasty habbit that's harder to quit than people are making it out to be.

Because I stopped smoking weed lol, I needed to pass a drug test to get in the Army, so I picked up smoking to give me something to take my mind off of weed. It worked by the way, haha.

When I was 15 I started smoking because I fell into that "Everyone else is doing it" mentality. I smoked for about 6 months, then one day while I was half-way through a smoke I said to myself "Why the fuck am I doing this?" and quit. Felt like crap for the next few days due to withdrawal..

Didn't touch another for about 4 months when I had a really bad day. A friend handed me a cigarette and I lit it up, took a couple drags and realized that it wasn't what I needed. Haven't touched one since.

Never smoked a ciggarette, cause they'll kill you, what with all the carcinogens, as for pot. I smoked that because my friend asked if i wanted to, it was peer pressured at first, but he never FORCED me to, i tried it, and have smoked pretty much monthly ever since just because it's reaaaaalllllly fun. (and a lot, i mean A LOT safer than ciggarettes, plus it helps with anxiety)

I don't know, I really don't.

All I know is that if I breathe too much smoke (ie. more then ten breaths or so in a smoky environment), my lungs begin to fill with mucous. If I breathe much more smoke, I die.

Damn asthma.

I find cigarettes to have a smell that makes me sick, not with cigars though. Cigars have something about them that I find appealing, it might be the fact that they are hand made in Cuba and all natural (my dad smokes Cubans).

Well, I WAS on fire, but a nice person smothered it with a blanket a few minutes ago.

To return to the original context, I haven't smoked a day in my life. Abstinence is key to me.

Post graduation road trip to Seattle to visit some friends, it was about 3:00am and we were driving through Oregon, I needed something to keep myself awake so I reached over and grabbed my buddies pack of Camel Wides.

I still smoke on occasion, mainly at social events or once or twice a week during my lunch breaks but I never really got addicted. I'll go weeks on end without a cigar or cigarette and then buy a pack, split it with my friends and go about my business when it's gone.

On a more personal note, I have to admit I really hate the anti-smoker propaganda that goes on these days. I'm not saying you should start smoking or anything but treating smokers like they're the villainous scum of the earth isn't really the kind of social behavior we should be promoting.

Never have and hopefully never will. I have a huge problem with normal substances being addictive...

I tried it once to see what the big deal was, then realized it I enjoyed it.

The act of smoking is very relaxing(along with the nicotine) for me, plus it fill gaps in my day.
