Don't smoke...have, never will again. I used to smoke weed about a year or so ago. But I just took a good long look at where my life was going and quit. Now at work they call me Smokey, since I'm the ONLY one who doesn't smoke. :)
 
Yeah i smoke..... not proud of it and not ashamed either.

I don't smoke much these days, sometimes go a week or so without smoking often won't smoke for a couple of days. Main reason is i found that smoking and cycling don't mix too well.

I normally smoke roll ups if i do smoke, Drum or Old Holbourn and i use lightweight Rizzla's.

I never smoke at work, i figure they pay me for a full day not one peppered with "fag breaks".
 
I do smoke but working up to the day i quit again

Again i mean i quit before and lasted nearly two years but started again but this time i will succeed
 
Meh, all the adults in my house smoke [4 of them] so I probably have the lungs of someone who has smoked for aout 4 years.

I hate people that must smoke around people who despise it.

Boom, working in a restaurant with the long hours, I can see the stress. Plus when the diner sends his steak back for the second time, you can flip a few ashes on it to show how well done it is...!

Yeah! That will be one of the hardest things about quitting and while driving too. When the rush has slowed down in the restaurant it's always a great thing to go outside and have a cig and relax yourself.
And there are many frustrating happenings at work that need a cig break after they have been resolved, or not resolved.
I smoke the most while at work, if it's a slow day, then you get board and need to pass the time somehow.

You will be suprised when you are able to taste your food again.

Yes, and as working as a Chef, taste is an important sense. However, smokers do tend to make flavors that are very bold and full bodied and that is a bonus when putting out a good product.

Good point Slip, but here in the Food and Beverage Industry, everyone has a vice! Being a smoker is more accepted, but excessive cig breaks that are interfering with getting your work completed are something that I wont tollerate. I can't tell you how many times I have gone out to the smoking area to scold an employee and tell them to get back to work!


Smokings my only vice left. I don't do any drugs and I haven't had a drop of alcohol for over 2 1/2 years now!
 
I'm sick of smoking. I can't run as far anymore, I have no stamina what so ever. Yet, I still smoke. I don't like smoking but, I still do. I think that they taste like ****. Well for those who smoke lets talk about what brands you have tried or currently smoke? I started out taking some from dad after he goes to sleep. He smokes Marlboro reds. I have tried so many kinds. I have had Salem, Salem lights, Virginia Slim menthol lights(I couldn't handle the Normal Marlboros at first), Newport, Newport lights, and some cigarttes called 555 (Imported from England). The 555 accualy don't taste that bad compared to other cigarettes. Right now I smoke Marlboro Menthol lights. Well acually since my friend doesn't like menthol I smoke Marlboro lights when I'm with him. So, I guess I alternate between Marlboro Menthol lights and just plain lights. What about the rest of the smokers on GTP?

But I have to laugh at smokers...I see them eating fruits and healthy stuff like that's gonna offset the bad effects of smoking...also saw a guy in a Sebring throw a sig out the window, and it landed on the convertable top(he had it up) and as we are watching it burns through it and goes back in the car lol...we got away from him...probably caught the thing on fire.

My cousin bought a used Subaru wagon from a fellow who smoked. A burn in the cargo area of the wagon is from the smoker throwing the cigarette out the window, the cigarette getting blown back into the car, and catching the rear of the car on fire.

After that, he realised he needed a Honda. :D

oh man, thats sucks.. that must be horrible. I couldnt imagine living with one smoker, let alone 4
 
Ugh, no smoking for me. I honestly find it hard to believe anyone could directly inhale smoke like that - it's hard enough for me to keep from choking when walking by someone who is lighting up! :yuck:
 
Cigars aren't that bad. Cigs though taste ****ty. I'm kinda liking these Cigars. My uncle I went to see in Cali came to our house to stay and we enjoyed a Cigar last night sitting out on the porch watching the cars pass. I don't think I should try anymore though. I might get hooked and I can't afford the habit.
 
Among my "big life questions"; The first being who was the first dude to lick the back of that exotic tree frog, and experience the halucinations....
The second is whose idea was it to pluck this big a$$, foul-smelling, dirty leaf, Roll it semi-tightly, set it on fire, then breathe thru it?
Sounds kinda silly when you look at it that way, huh?
 
I started smoking when I was 15, at boarding school. I did it because back then I was in kinda the same situation MazKid is in now, and I thought that if I smoked, other people would be impressed, and I'd get liked more.

However, I didn't really enjoy it that much, although the rush of doing something that was against the rules was quite cool.

But if you were caught smoking by the teachers, it was an automatic one-week suspension, so your parents had to come and pick you up. Mum doesn't drive very much, so I knew that it would be my Dad that picked me up and drove me the 1hr journey from school to home. During which time I'd get to explain why I'd been suspended.

Funnily enough, it didn't really seem worth it after that logic kicked in, and I quit, still before I was 16 - the legal age for smoking in the UK. Now I'm knocking on the door of 30, and I still think from time to time, when I'm getting really exasperated with the world, that I'd like to smoke, but I just talk myself out of it.

That said, I drink too much at the moment. Oh well, with so many vices on offer, one man's meat is another man's poison...
 
yeah i smoke. I wish i had never started, but now i enjoy a cigarette.
I have cut down alot in the last year since living with slip; we have made a pact that we will both stop when i am 35.
It's my vice and all my mates smoke to, so it's sort of a social thing within my circle of friends, which makes it harder to stop.
I smoke handrolled cigs and prefer the lighter/mild tobacco when we can get it. Although they are still bad for you; they do not contain half of the chemicals that are in pre-packed cigs.
 
Dude-My 3 can beat a lot of stuff out there, you would be surprised...

And at my dad's shop, some of the guys there smoke, and take breaks every 15 minutes, and get nothing done. Also when they take a lot of breaks, they screw up even more, but that does get my dad more cars to fix...but 1 time a guy was smoking and working on a 2nd gen RX-7, dropped his cig as he was changing the fuel filter, and you can imagine what happened next...burnt the car pretty well. He didn't even get fired cause the boss at that time was a lowlife like the rest of them...
 
I don't smoke. I've never smoked, and never intend to smoke

I was a passive smoker (breathing in other peoples) because my parent used to, and because of this I have asthma.

I'm glad they've stopped.
 
I think this is kind of funny. Even though it does apply to me. By the way I'm talking about the picture if you didn't know it.

Kinda ironic comeing from a smoker...

I have athesma so I never started, but whenever I work, I take the same breaks as everyone, I just insist that I get a 15 minute smoke break like everyone else, I just don't smoke.
 
I smoke and I'm ashamed too :o

I would really love to quit this habit I have had for the last 13 years of my life it's a dirty, smelly, expensive habit! I have tried to quit but I am a complete failure :cry:
I try not to smoke too much around my children, though sometimes that is unavoidable, they say they will never smoke and want me to quit I am determined I will quit , though I might need some help from my doctor, I depend on my ciggies to keep my cool when I'm stressed and see me through the day :rolleyes:

I want to have more energy, I want to taste my food, I want to have more money, I want to smell fresh and I want to live longer I suppose only I can do these things. I am 27 now and I have promised myself that I will quit before I turn 30 though that just sounds like the usual story of a gutless person to afraid to make the change right now, I know yeah I'm gutless :(


Good on the kids who have the good sense to not pick up that 1st cig , keep it that way! I wish I had done the same ;)
