    I smoke a pack a day, sometimes more, depending on what i'm doing. When i'm watching football, i usually light one after another, but the same applies for cans or bottles of beer. A football worldcup tournament which lasts for 4 weeks is extremely bad for my health i guess. :shake:

    I started smoking at the age of 12, and never quit since. Don't really feel the need to either, exept that if i finally should decide to quit, i'd save me a hell of a sum of cash at the end of a year, do the math.

    I suppose I should add both my parents were heavy smokers and for years I worked in an office with all others being heavy smokers, so I have inhaled a lot of second-hand smoke in my life. I have therefore been an involuntary smoker at times.

    My mother died of lung cancer when I was 22. She never got to meet my wife or my son. Needless to say I am very anti-smoking.

    I started out ocasionally, and now I'm a semi-frequent. I buy a pack every week (or every 10 days). Since I don't smoke inside the house, I'm able to keep myself from having more than 3 or 4 on a regular day.

    While typing this, I haven't smoked for almost 2 days. I'd be lying if I told you people I don't feel like going out and buying a pack.

    Adding to the topic - if you do smoke, which brand of cigarettes is your choice? Marlboro (blue or silver) does it for me. Regular ones (the red pack), as well as Camel, will make me feel dizzy.

    Jau, although not too much. Actually, only during parties or when sitting at the comp. Like now. It's just ever so pleasant.

    One pack while partying, otherwise around 10 a day.

    I started at 25 or so, when I quit smoking weed. :sosad: :rolleyes: Bah!
    Seeing how incredulously expensive it has become - and how everyone is going mental about smoking (can we say witch hunt?) - I might want to turn that around again. :grin: :shake:

    Meh.

    I hate smoking. Tried it when I was around 14 or so, most people do at that age, but it was only because everyone else did.
    My mum just gave up smoking after 33 years :grin: Go Mum! :thumb:

    Your draconic host thanks you for not smoking. :evil:

    We've all got one nasty habit or another, but most smokers put their addiction before the well-being of others by forcing them to choke on their smoke, which I have a major problem with. One of the few good things about our current government is introducing a ban on smoking in all public places. Unfortunately, they'll still allow smoking in special sealed chambers, which I have my doubts about, and there's also talks of bar owners and such being able to choose whether they'll allow smoking or not. Naturally, most of them are convinced that they'll go bankrupt if they can't keep their smoking clientèle and would rather continue allowing smoking, which negates the whole point of the ban, so I dearly hope that choosing won't be allowed. I guess thinking ahead a bit that by banning smoking they'll gain plenty of patrons who have purposefully stayed out of the stink dens before would be too much of a mental exercise...

    Mainly only Lamberts and Bensons, whichever is cheapest (if I'm buying), but if I get offered a fag I don't really care what brand it is!

    Anything menthol. If I'm begging for a smoke, I take what's offered.

    I like Macdonald (Quebec brand) and Gauloise (french brand), Peter Jackson (US, I think) isn't bad either.

    In my province, last year a law was passed to ban smoking in all public places, including restaurant and bars. Guess what? No bar that I regulary attented before the ban went in bankrupsy after it.

    Do I smoke? Nope. But I do watch the movie "Up in Smoke" with Cheech and Chong, whenever it comes on TV - Very funny stuff. Sorry, the title of this thread made me think of it....

    Indeed. There's a restaurant called J.T. Whitneys near me that I never went to because of the constant haze. But now that Madison (but not the suburbs) has a smoking ban, I can enjoy that burger they make that they positively smother in cheese. :yum: :yum:

    Started smoking on my 14th birthday, quit on my 44th after a doctor told me I could smoke or keep breathing. After figuring for a minute I caught on and quit. The dead don't smoke anyway. A carton (not a pack) of Chesterfields lasted between two and three days as of the time I quit.

    Anyone who dosen't smoke who starts is out of their minds.

    I smoked Chesterfields 'till november 2006.
    Never smoked since then. I's quite a relief not to have to buy a pack of sigarets, again.

    I used to smoke home-rolled mentholated cigarettes. I quit due to a bout of bronchitis (which kills both the ability to smoke and the craving, just trust me on that ;) ) and my docter (pointedly) telling me that I could avoid that in the future if I quit.

    Yes but mostly just out of habit, first cig in the morning, after every meal and in between when feeling like it and one before going to sleep.

    Slowing down the usage so it should be easier to quit someday. Usually a pack lasts for 2-3 days unless I'm drinking. Red Malboro is the way to go. :D
