Yes, not as much as i did at one time. Had just about quit 11 years ago but then my son got cancer and nerves put me back and have not tried real hard about quiting since he passed. Maybe some day.

I'm 46 going on 47 and I have never in my life smoked. Sometimes I feel like I do when I walk by someone that is smoking. I can't stand the smell then I feel like I smell like cigarettes. Does this happen to you too?  ???

Started when I was 16 (to be cool like the rest of the kids we hung out with).  Smoked for many years, but have not smoked since 1999!!  :thumbsup:  Used the patch and it was easy.

 :)No, and I quit less than a year ago and still going strong ;) I have had thoughts of smoking but the main thing is I am trying to be a good example for my two kids. They look up to me and I want them to take care of their health.

Smoking is bad for your health and second hand smoke affects other people around you too.

I do not smoke, but I'm one of those odd people who actually enjoys the smell of it.

I have been smoke-free for 41 years and I don't intend to start. to be honest, your body is a temple for Jesus, so why would you put nicotine and other substances
into His house?

Post by: wccohn on February 04, 2013, 07:39:56 pm
No I have never smoked a cigarette in my entire life and I do not intend to start such a disgusting habit. They are so expensive and especially since I live in New York I would not be able to afford them anyway.
Title: Re: do you smoke
Post by: jtwillie1 on February 04, 2013, 07:41:24 pm
Yep, I smoke daily. Want to quit, but just can't. I calculated I smoke $35 worth of cigarettes a week. How much do I smoke a month or year or 5 years? I'm embarrassed, you do the math.
Title: Re: do you smoke
Post by: rusgiftsaolcom on February 04, 2013, 07:45:37 pm
No I do not smoke and hope I never take up the habit. Sometimes I call myself a secondhand smoker because my neighbors smoke comes into my apartment. I had to buy a air purifier for my bedroom.

Sounds like a great idea.

Yes, I used to smoke until I switched myself over to an electronic cigarette.
I love it ... I still get to smoke but without all the harmful tobacco smoke and chemicals.

I've been using an e cig for about a year and have no desire to go back to the real thing.

I do not smoke.  It is something I never tried or ever wanted to try.

My dad smoked when I was little.  I hated it.  I hated the smell.  I hated the way he looked when he smoked.

I do not smoke, but it seems like smoking is much more socially acceptable where I live now than when I lived in California.

I work in a casino around smoke and I really hate it. My clothes always stink so badly, my eyes burn and my throat hurts sometimes. I really wish there was no smoking allowed inside. People come up to the desk smoking all the time even though we have signs that say not to.
Some people put their cigarettes out, but most don't.
I think it's very rude...kinda like talking on your cell phone at a customer service counter/cash register. No regard for the employee trying to help you.

Absolutely not!  Back when I was in my early twenties I played around with it for about a month and it just wasn't for me.  When I realized that it wasn't for me, I was like "you mean people waist their money on this"

I don't smoke. I really don't like the second hand smoke from others. My dad died of lung cancer and he smokoed all of his life so I'm not really into it at all.

No, I don't smoke.  My Granny passed from COPD and pulmonary fibrosis, which are smoking related conditions.  I will never touch cigarettes!

I quit the  habit over 40 years ago!  Do you suppose my lungs are back to normal yet :confused1:  The only way I could quit was to do it when I made a change in my daily routing.  IT WORKED

When I was a kid I was curious about smoking so I tried it with some people I knew and we all started coughing so much that we gave up trying. A couple years later I tried again and the same thing happened so I made up my mind never to try it again. I thought it might be interesting to try it and see why adults did it, but after those experiences I was turned off. Plus the health risks made me know it wasn't worth it for my body.

I hope you are able to quit aggie. I hope everything works out for you.  :)

Nope, although I do have a cigarette once or twice a year when I travel for the hell of it.

Post by: jowbow on February 05, 2013, 01:41:28 pm
I have smoked for 27 years.  I was smoking 2 packs a day until I found out I was pregnant with my son and went down to 10 cigarettes a day that day.  I did quit once for about 10 days.  I have tried the patch and found out I can’t use it because of the adhesive leaves a rash on my skin.   The gum and lozenges leave blisters in my mouth.  I refuse to take   Chantix or any other medication that have a warning about depression due to the fact I have depression.   I am trying the e-cig now.

I don't smoke. Other people's smoke gets in your clothes, hair, everything....yucky, Plus a pack of those things are ridiculous.

I tried smoking, it was bad for me...my parents use to smoke and when we would be in the car riding they would have all the windows up and the smoke was all over the car and I would have my shirt over my face...I hate the smell of Winston cigarettes...I get hoarse and asthma when I'm around certain kinds of smokes...

I only tried one time a very long time ago and the net result was that I hated it.  That was the one and only time.  I cannot see how people can actually like it.

No. Never have. My father did, but he quit in 1992, my mother used snuff up until two weeks before she passed away, my three brothers smoke. I am the only one in my family that has never done anything. Good for me. LOL.

I do not smoke now but I use to.  I smoked for 45 years and quit 6 years ago.  I feel so much better and have a lot of more money than I did then.  Wish I had never smoked.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I don't smoke.  I used to when I turned 18 because I thought it was cool.  Now I think it is disgusting.  It stinks and is a waste of money and is awful for you.  I was so happy when my husband quit smoking.
