I would like to ask how many of you smoke? As a smoker myself I am curious what kind of a cross section do we have here. If you are a smoker have you ever tried to quit or will you just continue till you die like me.
I AM A SMOKER AND I ENJOY THEM. I HAVE TRIED CUTTING DOWN SOME BUT NOT QUITTING. I FOUND THAT EVEN CUTTING DOWN DOESNT WORK WHEN DAILY STRESS COMES BACK TO SLAP YOU IN THE FACE. I SMOKE JUST AS MUCH NOW IF NOT MORE.
I am a smoker and I have tried quitting. I have given up on quitting for the time being, though. I gave up drugs and booze, I figure I deserve one bad habit...lol.
I smoked for twenty years and was up to about three packs a day but I quit about 28 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed my cigarettes but decided that I had pushed my luck as far as I dared. Had I not quit then I'd probably be dead today as I have health problems of which I was unaware at the time.
People say they'll smoke till they die and a few do, but most actually quit about the time that their emphysema is so bad they have to go on oxygen. My sister in law and brother in law fit that perfectly. They are now both on oxygen!
I always was one of those I'll have a cigarette at a party or a club. I never actually bought cigarettes, so one day I just stopped. Both my mother and my husband were chainsmokers - 2-3 packs a day. My mom quit, when the doctor told her in no uncertain terms she had too. It was hard for her at around 65. She had tried several times - even quit for 5 years once - it was very hard for her to quit. My husband never quit, but had no problems with it. My son smokes, but has cut down.
I lit up last year and it literally made me sick. I've probably inhaled enough smoke by working in our bar - restaurant and being around heavy smokers all my life that I am a smoker by association.
Smoker's rights? Well, seems that went the way of Marijuana.

I will very occasionally have a clove cig but I wouldn't say I'm a smoker. I tried it when my friends did as teens and didn't get anything out of it.
I don't mind if people smoke as long as it's in a well ventilated area or outside. A smoker that asks before lighting up is a person with real manners.
I am not a smoker. But I use to smoke. I quit about 10 years ago and haven't smoked since. But my husband smokes 3 packs a day..I say in another ten years he won't be able to breathe.
I do not smoke either....never have, never will, which is good because I have asthma, too. My older sister smoked for 40+ years and almost died from it. She is on oxygen now and will be for the rest of her life. She quit cold turkey when she was in intensive care in the hospital.
Yeah, I'm a smoker. I have tried a lot of times to quit. I am currently down to 6 a day, not packs, and I'm trying to get the nerve to give it totally up.

I'm a non-smoker.
im no quitter either, Rodney
I am a non-smoker although my health has damaged by exposure to second-hand smoke. Smoking is not a right.
