| I agree, I tend to only smoke socially. I rarely smoke when I am alone,
and when I am sick or something, I donīt smoke at all (for days or
soemtimes weeks) so I donīt think I am addicted. Also, I DO think people
who smoke tend to be more outgoing, like I said, I have met some very cool
people that I otherwise never would have interacted with standing outside
smoking a cigareete, it really is an ice breaker of some sort. I know it
sounds weird, but the best way I can equate it is with some kind of little
club or something, if that makes sense... ____________________

Damn...I know I smoke way to much. Usually a pack a day, but after a
particularly bad day, I can get up there...and when Iīm drinking, shit. All
in all I think because of all that smoking I have a shelf life of like
fifteen minutes.
I donīt really care about smoking tax and all that junk, what I do care
about is when Iīm indulging in my favorite vice, some moron has to come up
and tell me, "You know thats bad for you?" usually Iīll pull a drew carey,
scream and smash the shit out of the cigarette then thank them
profusely...until they get the dripping sarcasm. As long as no one directly
tries to interfere with my habits, I donīt have a problem, but if someone
tries to steal my little cancer-stick, Iīll go apeshit. Itīs my flaw, and
Iīll keep it dammit.

| lol, thats cute. I used to date this guy who was WAY against my smoking
habit, and he would always nag at me about it, so to make him understand,
one day, I did the SAME thing to him...he has a few really bad habits, like
his nail biting habit ("Donīt you know you can give yourself an INFECTION?
That can kill you!") and his Gobstopper habit ("Those are soo bad for you,
you can break a tooth, you can choke!") and his habit of sitting three
inches away form the computer screen for days at a time ("Youīll go blind,
youīll get cancer, youīll DIE!") I annoyed the hell out of myself, but my
effect on him was way more profound, and now he bites his toungue whenever
he finds himself about to say something about my smoking. ____________________

I only smoke socially (or when Iīm really pissed), and only cloves... I
think that tabacco cigarettes taste and smell horrible, but since smoking
is allowed in every bar and club, I guess itīs just something you get used
to.
On the plus side, my one pack of cloves a month will kill me faster than
your 4 packs of marlboroīs a week.
And there are so many better things to smoke than cigarettes anyway...

in my nose, one in my mouth, inhale, and well...heh, the one time I
actually did that I had six Nic Patches on and was chewinī on that

I am one of the few that likes the smell of burning tobacco...ooooo...
My fav place to smoke is the bathtub. Vodka sour, pack of smokes, a book
and a steamin hot porcelain pot to boil in and Iīm good as gold.
I know Iīm addicted, but I quit once and a while just to make sure I still
can. BUt I donīt WANT to quit...itīs not the addiction, itīs the LOVE of
my cigarettes, the excuse for a quick break, and high fives to my brothas
that KNOW what Iīm talking about when I say "smoke like a whore" when Iīm
drinking...holy shit...cigarette in one hand, booze in the other. Like
peas and carrots...garlic toast and pizza sauce...jeffery dahmer and power
drills....
Oh and sweetie, you think cloves are safe? WRONGO! Ask me about the time
I was coughing up blood in a bar bathroom.....
Donīt think I donīt miss them...I do...I LOVE my little saemporna
blacks....*sniff*
They just make my lungs come out in little clots at inconvenient times.
They will to yours too, give it time.
I donīt like being taxed for it, but hell, itīs a luxury...a luxury I have
to pay out the nose for, but if I canīt afford it I wonīt do it.
The thing that irks me is the righteous indignation over smoking. Alcohol
is good old american fun....what little junior hasnīt taken a sip of
grandpaīs beer at a family picnic? Or had a sip of wine at mommy and
daddyīs dinner party? BUT Christ on a STICK if you let junior take a puff
of your smoke...Thatīs abuse!
Never mind that alcohol kills thousands every year in auto accidents,
causes fights and breaks up families (itīs addictive too, kids!), alters
your brain and makes you unable to function at the level of an untrained
chimp...it can make you violent, stupid, reckless. But itīs just BOOZE!
Itīs as american as apple pie and charles manson! Itīs those damned
smokers that are the trouble..damn smokers and their cigarettes...
Jesus people how many of you have ever seen a roadsign that said "please
donīt smoke and drive: in memory of joe blow"?
I say leave us be...
In the famous words of dennis leary:
"Iīm TRACHEOTOMY MAN!!! I want tracheotomies ALL around my neck so I can
smoke SIX fucking cigarettes at once! HEY KIDS IīM TRACHEOTOMY MAN! LOOK
AT ME!" ____________________

| Heh, donīt get me started on cloves, I bloody love the things, but we used
to half-joke that weīd chain smoke cloves at the club all night and then go
home and chain smoke regular cigarettes to patch the holes ni our lungs
with tar. Then weīd go out and use the cloves to punch holes in the tar so
we could get enough air to dance again...I say half joke because of how
frighteningly true it was. ____________________

cloves are the true personification of evil in this world...delightful,
tasty, aromatic, alluring, and mean as fuck. I did the chainsmoke cloves
at the bar...then chainsmoke cloves at home....there is nothing more
terrifying than NOT hearing what they do to you and all of a sudden
coughing a bloodclot into a napkin...and then running to the bathroom and
coughing blood in the sink. I was like "OH JESUS my LUNGS are coming
out!"
So I started patching up my lungs with tar 
Iīm actually thinking of quitting *sniffle* I just think of how much money
I spend on them and how I could blow it on tattoos instead. The thing is I
donīt WANT to quit. I like smoking. A LOT.
But as my ass grows bigger for unaccountable reasons (less physically
active job? Probably..) Iīve been wanting to take liberties with the
apartment workout room and pool (the pool comes AFTER I get back to my
regular size, of course) so I assume itīd be hard to get in shape while
smoking a half a pack a day.
I donīt wanna stop...*sniffle* woe is me.
Until then, SMOKE ON BROTHERS! ____________________

| I have never really smoked cloves, so I am afraid I camīt say anything
about that, but I will say that i agree 100% with bettie (except the whole
being addicted thing) If I smoked more then I do, I might quit, but I see
it as a luxery, one that I can afford (even if I DO bitch everytime they
raise the tax here in good old New York State) You know whats funny? I
walk around here and everywhere you look there are no smoking signs and ads
on tv, like those moronic truth commercials, but I just got back from
Canada, and I thought I was great, you can smoke everywhere, not just bars,
but resturants (even like burger kings), hotel lobbys, shops, everywhere,
and EVERYONE smokes. I donīt think i saw more than five no smoking signs
the whole time, it was great! I take back every bad thing I ever said
about Canada, my money is worth assloads, I can drink legally, and I can
smoke everywhere, plus for some odd reason I kept getting hit on because my
"accent" was cute... ____________________

you guys are so silly
The thing I hate are the TRUTH ads...they remind me to light up. I tried
quitting but those stupid activist kids on television kept up their
brainwashing messages that had an adverse effect on me and made me want to
smoke to spite them.
The OTHER thing I hate is the typical "non smoker" attitude...like the
tattooist I go to says "Some straight edge kid comes to MY shop for a
tattoo and sees me smoking outside and said īman, you know that smoking is
fucking bad for your health manī and he said īno, coming to MY place of
BUSINESS and telling ME what to do is bad for your healthī"
Iīm not a kid, I KNOW what it does...and I made a conscious adult descision
to say "to hell with it".
Man, the thing that irks me is the whole deal that not only are cigarette
companies NOT allowed to advertise on tv (unlike alcohol) radio (unlike
alcohol) rarely on billboards (unlike alcohol) PLUS after taking away their
advertising rights, they have to FUND ANTI SMOKING advertisements...so in
essence they are required to campaign against their own product. How is
that fair? I can understand not being able to use cartoons, as I can also
see how that is sort of trying to cater to children who will be future
smokers, but jesus!
Everyone has this big beef with "big tobbacco" but how many die yearly in
cigarette related automobile accidents? How many people die yearly in
cigarette induced rages because someone had "one too many" and in their
niccotine induced blure and loss of reason killed someone?
They make cigarettes out to be the devil...they want to ENLARGE the warning
and put it on front, like we didntī see it already....
~pulls out a pack, sees a gigantic warning on the front ~
OH MY GOD, THESE THINGS ARE BAD FOR YOU?!
Hell, my favorite brand is "black death"
Itīs got a skull in a tophat smoking a cigarette on the front of a black
and silver pack and it says "I like īem and Iīm gonna SMOKE īem!"
Iīve got a cigarette tin that has a huge nail on it and a banner that says
"another nail in the coffin" too, so you can imagine MY take on it... ____________________

In okinawa, smoking is so not a big deal, here, damn near everyone
smokes...you can smoke in church, in resteraunts, in the mall...shit,
anywhere. Most people here have done it since they turned seventeen, and
for some weird reason, Okinawans have like the longest natural lifespan,
averaging to late ninties, early hundreds. Hrmm...
In any case, they got the cigs over here that are in a solid black box
with a little silver deathīs head moth embossed on the cover. No warning,
nothing...no filter either. Iīve been smoking for a long time, but one of
those little bastards damn near made me pass out. You can only get them
over at Gate Two town, and as far as I understand, they donīt have an
actual name, and theyīre mostly tobacco...I think, regardless Iīm gonnaī
try and score a couple before I come back home next time on leave. ____________________

| Something that really irks me is that they show adds and commercials for
alcohol but they banned showing commercials and adds for cigarettes. Plus,
why do some people think its alright to offer their child, or another
person a sip of beer or something, but if they take one hit off of a
cigarette it is one of the worst things ever? Iīm so confused! :-? ____________________

The kid sipping the beer is explainable. A kid, given a sip of alcohol,
will either grimace slightly, or like it. He will not get drunk (unless its
like 140 proof or something. Do not let your kids sip this)
However, if you give that same kid a cigarette, chances are he will choke.
A coughing child is a lot more displeasing than a kid simply not liking the
taste of something.
Pertaining to alcohol and tobacco on the whole, tobacco loses for its
addictive reputation. Most people drink for recreational purposes. They
have a drink every now and then, with friends. They donīt need it to get
through their crummy day. However, the stereotypical smoker -needs- his/her
tobacco. Heīs addicted. And that is disdainful to the general public.
Also, over the years, smoking has lost its romantic image. Alcohol has more
or less kept its romantic image, and so tobacco loses.
By the way, if I -were- going to smoke, Iīd use a bong... Its more fun
walking around with a water bong than just a cigarette. (dreams of koolaid
in a water bong)

Coming from a former Washington resident, now living in Oregon I have to
say wow!
The prices on even Marlboroīs (which are nasty but cheaper than Camels now)
are about $1.50 less just coming across the state line. Washingtonīs
tobacco tax raised all cigarettes to over $5 a pack. In Oregon I can still
get name brands for about $3.50. It rules. ____________________

i had been a smoker for ten or eleven years 'till recently. i had breathed
in a fungus (nothing to do with the ciggs) which pretty much destroyed my
lungs for life. i was in the hospital for a month, three weeks of that in
a coma, so i had pretty much no choice in the matter when it came to
quitting. pretty nice considering "kicking the butt" is so hard to do.
i no longer have to deal with the costliness or the stinky clothes.
woohoo!
i dont mind smokers (though now i *do* see just how much it stinks) i just
think more of them need to be considerate of other people, smokers or non.
