It Wandered In From the Wastes
Are there many smokers on this forum? I've always wondered why do people smoke :?: It gives no benefits and it doesn't benefit anyone except the tobacco companies, so why smoke?

EDIT: added a poll, that's the last time I'm doing that, though... - signed, Kharn, so shut up Ratty
 
I don't smoke, never have, and hopefully never will. Anyway, I get the odd bout of asthma so smoking would bring it on.
By the way, the price of cigarettes has just gone up rather sharply this week in France, so newsagents were on strike because a fairly large part of their profit is made on the sale of fags. On the other hand, it seems that the notoriously grumpy French people don't need much of an excuse to go on strike.
As an aside note, how about adding a poll to this topic?
- Smokes regularly.
- Smokes occasionally.
- Has quit.
- Has tried smoking a few times.
- Has never smoked.
 
Smoke somewhere between 1/2 and 1 1/2 packs a day, Camel Lights. Didn't start smoking until I was 22 - a lot of my friends smoked, and I just thought "Ah, what the hell, I'll try it". Smoked 2 cigarettes and immediately ran into the bathroom and puked for 15 minutes. Think I would've learned my lesson.......

As for why I still smoke....honestly, I just like it. It's a nice calming thing to do when I'm stressed out, and it's just pretty relaxing to go sit outside and stare off into space while smoking - kind of a little meditation break during the day. I only drink about once a month and don't have any other vices, so I don't feel like it's too bad a thing. Of course, the possiblity of getting cancer always scares me a bit.......
 
I'm an antismoking fascist. I never smoked and I never will smoke - SonR seems to have forgotten to add an option for people like me.
 
/me rolls his own smokes.

But I never smoke more than five a day because of that. And somedays it's only one or two. It's well below the one or two packs a day habit some sickly losers have.
 
Every saturday I buy 10 Camels, witch lasts the rest of the week.

I smoke simply because it feels good.
 
I have taken one deap breath of a ciggarete, and never more, i don´t snuse either, but i´m very happy my brother started snusing instead of smoking. GO snus.
 
I smoke 24 to 26 of these.

I`m addicted of course, so i just smoke them, with no real reason, except when i go to an open room we have in the back, closed to the rest of the flat, where i can smoke and look at the stars and trees, just letting myself go. That and smoking while drinking an expresso at a good coffee shop, southern europe style or french style, with a good newspaper or book, are my small but dearest lonely pleasures in life.
 
"Snusing"? What the hey is this?

American Spirits

The best organic tobacco in the world.

A big can of nicotine happiness. One and a half of these got me through the entire summer. All for 15 buckaroos.

Unfortunately...

About one package of Marlboro Lights a day. I used to smoke Van Nelle Mild Tobacco (the best tobacco in the world, and you can quote me on that), but I couldn't stop rolling and smoking that delicious stuff, so I had to do something (change brands).

Anyway, I'm still thinking about quitting. I hope to fall in love with a cute girl one day who will ask me to quit smoking because she simply hates it. It's a stupid thought, but I just can't pull it off by myself. Sometimes, I wake up and destroy all of the cigarettes in the house (I hold them under the faucet and drown the bastards), but after an hour or so, I start to think about how shitty my life is and how I don't have any real pleasures besides cigarettes, and then I hurry to the grocery store or the supermarket or whatever and I buy a new pack of cigarettes and start smoking again.

Smoking is a pretty cool thing to do too, I must admit. I like them old movies from the fifties and the sixties in which the actors smoked like hell ("Diner" is soooooooooooooo cool when it comes to smoking). But I also have to admit this: it's unhealthy (cancer, cancer, cancer, cancer, ...), it's smells like shit (especially Marlboro Lights), and it makes your mouth feel like something rotten.

* lights another one *

Hehe. Sorry, can't help it. I really need that cute girl I mentioned before.
 
Yuck.
I've tried smoking and got hooked when I was a kid, like 15 or something to "look old and tough", smoked for a year and stopped.
Frankly, I dunno what people see in these things: they don't make you high (which could be a reason,not a justification as to why people smoke), they smell like shit and taste ugly, not to mention how a smoking girl's mouth tastes. *pukes* *pukes* *pukes*
 
I am with Ratty on this one. I am too, an anti-smoking NAZI. I hate the smell and the people who throw their smoke on my face are going to have trouble with me.

True, but smoke a pack of reds a day and you'll see why people switch to lights.
