Sounds like my situation. I quit in February 2007, and started again a year later for reasons only a good psychiatrist could fathom. At the moment I'm smoking around 10 a day if I dont drink, around 20 if I do.

I generally hate cigarettes. I like a cigar every blue moon....

Hookah about every 2 weeks average. Shisha is probably the best thing to smoke if you're gonna do it. Mmmm.

Tried salvia 2 weeks ago. It just gave me a headache. It was low quality though, I guess.

That's not all, though. I could never get into pot except whenever I mooch off my friend. I don't have that kind of money. LOL

Same as me Andy - those prog curries just wouldn't be the same without relaxing after a meal by sucking on a fag, would they?

I know what you mean. Long gone are the days when you can ask if it's ok to 'bum a fag'

Oh well. The last time we met up I was at the point where I was having the occassional ciggie with a drink. So, days would pass in between fags. But, one leads to another to another to another, and before you know it you're back to square 1. I really thought I'd cracked it last year, and I've been pretty upset with myself for being so weak. I will quit again, though. I'll do it as many times as it takes. It's a rotten habit.

My parents are from the Carrollton, KY area, which has bunches of tobacco curing warehouses.  They smoked, I think pretty much all my grandparents and most of my relatives did or do.  Being on a few road trips as a kid in smoke filled cars actually conditioned me against it.  As a young teen I did take a puff off one out of curiosity.  Gack.  Pretty much cured me of any interest in taking up the habit.

The only way you'll get me to smoke is to set me on fire. Tongue

I tried smoking once, due to a kind of 'peer pressure', when I was about 14, while I was on a French exchange trip...
 
it was truly a pathetic sight to behold...I coughed my guts up, my eyes watered and I could hardly breathe..Ouch
 
I still remember the disdainful cries of 'just inhale the bloody thing' from all the attractive girls in my year, who had congtregated at the back of the bus to observe the sad spectacle...Unhappy
 
Although I was never quite socially accepted again, I ended up having more spare cash to spend on Rush CDs...Big smile
 
Which in turn, made me even less socially acceptable...Embarrassed

I used to in my 20's but gave up as part of saving for my first house. They say in these parts that there is nothing worse than a reformed smoker. That's true - I can't stand the things now and I get really narked when I go into town and walk through clouds of fag smoke. The UK now has a smoking ban in public buildings so all the smokers congregate outside building entrances. It's flipping awful having to walk through the haze - and the litter they create is just disgusting. Still who am I to complain if smokers like torching a fiver everytime they buy a packet. I'd rather spend my cash on a decent CD or two.Smile
 
Which by definition excludes Rush CDs SmileWink

Is it even possible that you can breathe a hot or warm colloid into you lungs and it be good for you?  Maybe in the future.

I quit smoking for the last time in 2002, this time for good. In my peak period (1984) I came to 33 cigarettes a day - Dead. I've never become a fanatic non-smoker, but I'm glad to have my lungs clean...

Believe it or not, I 100% agree with you - responsible establishments at least have decent ash-trays outside, but those which don't are disgusting to walk past.

One good thing about the smoking ban in pubs though is that I no longer smell like an ash-tray when I get home...



Hmmm - reading this thread has given me an idea... see you in 5 minutes
