Never smoked. Made up my mind before I was a teen and it stuck. Probably helped that we lived miles from town, so no peer pressure or access to smokes.

I know what you mean there link. I had to sit in a truck that only had two doors and no backseat to it. The guy that I was with was probably in his 60s or so. I had a 45 minute or so ride with him and he smoked pretty much the whole way. Didn't have the windows cracked either. Now that is terrible. I don't smoke and I can pretty much care less if someone does I just don't like to inhale it. I went to a nascar race (bristol TN) and a ton of people in the stands smoke, you are pretty much covered in the stuff.

I tried quitting like 4 times and managed to not smoke 6 months in a row but then it came over me. I think I smoke whenever I feel to have stress. it can be 5 cigs per day but worst case its up to 30...

for those who didn't start smoking yet: keep it up! its not worth it!

I been smoking on average 3 cigs a day only because on weekends i drink and go crazy so i smoke more otherwise id probably average 1 or 2 a week. I dont know I think the addiction is trying to creep up on me. I should probably snuff it out before it gets out of hand but its social on drinking days for me.

No. Never. I can sympathise with the OP, I never knew my grandparents, and that was all down to smoking. It's an addictive drug and a killer.

I really hate smoking but I will never hate a smoker. If you smoke it's your thing. Just ask me to join you even after I say "Ummh, thank you but no thanks".

Also, if you say you don't smoke yet you hang around smoker, might as well light up with them. If you must do something, please do it well!

I find it very polite and considerate if someone I'm with asks if I wouldn't mind if he lights up around me.

Actually (pronounced ectchewleigh) there is a link, Nicotine makes the digestive system inefficient so stopping the cigarettes and eating the same will make you put on weight. True

Haha, i just remembered a documentary I saw years ago titled "Lucky Smoker".

Who is a Lucky Smoker? It said is it a smoker who dies from a non-smoking-related cause.

I'm not sure if this does not include 'smoking accidents' like fire and such.
