I am a smoker. I respect those that don't and will smoke somewhere. However, at my house, I will smoke. I smoke in my car. My hangout is a smoking place. As I respect those that don't smoke, I expect the same in return

Never was a cigarette smoker. Participated in a regular all day routine of Skoal since my first pinch at age 9. Quit cold turkey bout 4 months ago. Chew tabacco, chew tabacco spit. waving

Smoking for 48 years now.
Sometimes I am smoking and don't even realize it.
Tried to quit a number of times, made it to a week once.
I ended up convincing myself that I wanted a cigarette not that I needed a cigarette. LOL...Delusional, I know.

I can go hours without one if I am in a place where smoking is not allowed (Dr offices, hospital, etc) but I light up as soon as I can, sometimes without even thinking about it.

Currently, I smoke about a pack per day. Sometimes more, if I am writing or playing a game. Sometimes less, if I am watching a movie or cooking.

I'm smoking as I type this.

I keep my ashtrays empty and wash them frequently.
I have smoked 6 cigarettes so far today, not counting the one I am smoking now.

It is a nasty habit that is not good for me.
I have tried patches, gum and hypnotism.
Even once gave group therapy a try.

I don't WANT to smoke anymore.
However, I don't really drink,
I'm not getting laid,
I hardly eat,
I barely ever swear,
Smoking is like one of my last bad habits that refuses to let go of me.
Its a compulsion in every sense of the word.

Plus, to top it all off....I think I am allergic to cigarette smoke.

I don't smoke and I support smoke free incentives ..

smoking is like a game of Russian roulette with your health .. and the health of those around you ..

. I am sure in the future there will be more deterrents .. the burden on the health system from smoking related admissions is already overwhelming and will only worsen as populations age .

I have a few bad habits ... one is smoking ...

I stopped yrs ago for a few mnth ... but stopped the meds went right back ...tried again they did not work ... other meds gave me bad side effects ...

I give lots of credit to those who have stopped ... it is not easy ...

but I figure I have two outlets and honestly I do not want to stop either ... but that is my choice ...
