Thankfully, Scotland has now banned smoking in all enclosed public places. What a difference.




    
I am no advocate of smoking, but there is no conclusive evidence of any harm being caused by second hand smoke. I f you check it out, you can see that the facts have been twisted in order to serve propaganda.
                                       
 
 
I have no clue when it comes to the whole second hand smoke thing...but I pray that it DOSN'T cause much harm. I used to stop and chat everyday with a friend of mine who smoked, there would be wiffs of smoke coming out of my mouth when I spoke. lol
 
Smoking has been banned in public places where I live to and it is really different, especially in restaurants. Oh and to answer the question, No I have never smoked once.....guess I'm just a square as well.

I have smoked since I was 16 an average about 10-15 cigarettes per day. I quit for good on 1 may 2004, after reading (don't laugh at me!) a book called "Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by certain J. Carr. I know, it sounds rediculous, but anyway, I don't and never will smoke again anything (not only tobacco) because it makes me disgust. You call it auto-suggestion, placebo, willpower, faith or whatever but it helped me. Lamp

Only when I'm with freinds and one is offered, I have never bought any for myself.

Everyone once and a while I have a small crave for one but I don't let it get to me.
My favorite kind are Camel wides. Such a great taste. Big smile

"Have you gotten any cigarettes..." Good song!

Anyway, I don't smoke and don't plan on ever doing so.

If you want a good song on the subject, what about "Cigarettes" by City Boy (a musch underestimated & relatively unknown band) on "Book Early".

Cigarettes that you leave unlit
You'd better smoke it - before you choke on it!"

Used to smoke North State, Lucky Strikes and Chesterfield, quit ten years ago (has few slips few years ago whilst being too drunk). It's a stupid habit, getting a stronger addiction than from most of the drugs, and not even getting the highs or any visions out of it. Dead

As I was a child, I tried a cigarette and I nearly puked. LOL

But that that doesn't count, right? WinkBig smile

But since that day, I have never smoked any cigarette again and I'm sure I won't do it again in my life...

Anyway, I also don't drink more than one or two beers...

Why all that? Because drugs are bad! LOL (no seriously guys, that's the truthStern Smile)

I'm afraid I'm sadder than you - I'm 43, and was a vehement anti smoker until aged 25, when I started one night through boredom (long story...); probably the worst decision I ever made in my life!

Actually, as it's lunchtime & sunny, I think I'll just nip out of the office for a few minutes...

I don't buy them, but if I am with people and they are free, then I sometimes go for it. I prefer cloves to tobacco, well pretty much anything to tobacco really.
