Smoke 'em if you got 'em (or not...)

[Fierce Critter]

Seems like every picture I see of a DGN'er there's a cigarette involved. Just curious as to the ratio of smokers to non-smokers in our little peer group.

The last line is qualified as such to eliminate those of us who experimented as kids, etc. Even I smoked a handful in my time, but was never a "smoker".

[phee]

I never have smoked a single cigarrete, not even a drag...CRACK on the other hand....

[JaneDead]

wow really? not even one try or desire too?

[phee]

Not even one try...I tease my fiance about starting to smoke if she doesn't quit.

[JaneDead]

i have off and on for years. i am the classic "social smoker".

[gothicmom]

I fooled around with them when I was 19. I bought my last pack the night I met my husband. Thankfully he never saw me with a cig in my fingers or would have never met!

[Fierce Critter]

Jon lied (we met online) and said he didn't smoke. Once we got together face-to-face, the truth came out.

I was pretty pissed - I'm militant anti-smoking, particularly since I've been borderline asthmatic since the late 80's. Doesn't take much to tip me into wheezing territory.

I'd make him brush his teeth after every cigarette or I wouldn't kiss him.

He quit cold-turkey within about 4 months. Hasn't smoked a single cigarette in 6 years. Huzzah, Jon! :grin:

In retrospect, it was a good lie. I might not have bothered with him otherwise.

[Shade Everdark]

I smoke.

I am killing myself, one stick at a time.

Happy Emphysema, everybody!

[Nienna]

Ditto Shade Everdark!

I'm a severe asthmatic..... I smoke socially.. on breaks at work and at the club.. almost never at home unless I'm upset.. maybe 2 packs a week at MOST..... and I willl continue this indefinately... because I feel no addiction to it.. I can (and have) stop for months.

[JaneDead]

^^ yeah i don't feel addiction to it either. never have. i stop for years at a time then pick it up again when i am around people who smoke heavily. it starts with me bumming some then buying my own for when i go out. my husband is annoyed that i "smoke" again cuz i will "bum" them from him now. he says you are not a smoker we can't afford for you to smoke too. well then quit and i won't take them from you. :

[Nienna]

*L* hah hah hah... good answer! Cause you can't really afford for him to smoke either..

[Vater Araignee]

im going bye bye

[Head Wreck]

i never smoked cigarettes or cigars.

and i hate tobaco smoke.

i cant eat if theres an ashtray in sight.

but i am freedom of choice so i dont stop people, just dont mind me ducking out of the way of smoke

[TheLordShaper]

I can't say I’m a cigarette smoker but I do love an occasional cigar or clove from time to time. I haven't ever really smoked outside of social situations but I see nothing wrong with it for those that do. I'm more adept to light a cigar up over an Irish whisky at a local pub then anything.

I smoked for 11 years, but I quit a few years back and haven't touched one since.

[Head Wreck]

tbh. never smoked tobaco but weed was one of my vices i'm glad to have kicked along with boose.

[Brenda Starrr]

I have not had a cigarrette in a whole week. I'm not using anything. I just sort of decided to give it a try. I think I'm doing okay (so far), but we'll see.

[JaneDead]

i am slowing down on the smoking myself. i just don't really want to do it anymore. at least not for now.

[Brenda Starrr]

Don't get me wrong: If there are cocktails, I might just be smoking. Either that, or trying to kiss everyone. Or, maybe both.

[Ginevra]

Brenda, as one who's tried to quit many times myself, I wish you the best of luck.

[Brenda Starrr]

Thank you, Ginerva. So far, so good. I have a birthday party to go to, so we'll see what happens once I get a drink in my hands!

[Scary Guy]

Tobacco no

Weed on occasion

[Fierce Critter]

Interesting. I thought you were straightedge, SG?

It helps with his glaucoma :

[Scary Guy]

What glaucoma?

Oh it must be working or something I guess

No I just don't drink or smoke. I'll take all the weed and sex I can get. Though weed for me is more of a social thing when I do it.
