Do you smoke??

If so, why? Smoking is bad and it causes all sorts of health problems. A few of my family members have died because of problems that were caused by smoking. My dad used to smoke but he quit about 6 years ago after smoking for 10 years. He realized he needed to quit, so he did. Anyway, if you are a smoker, why did you start, and do you realize that it is bad for you and that you could potentially have severe health problems later on??? Also, have you ever thought about quitting or have you tried to quit?

EDIT: BTW I have never smoked, and I don't plan on ever starting. :)

I have an addiction to air.

I just can't seem to stop, i need help :cry:

I smoked from when I was 18 until I was 20. I quit, and haven't smoked in about 5 months. Luckily my caffeine addiction overpowers any nicotine addiction.DarkPrinceXC

I thought I was the only one!!!

No i don't but might as well cuz just about all my friends do! :?Curlyfrii87

Dude come on! Why give in like that? Instead of doing it to fit in, you should convince your friends to quit smoking. Trust me, you can probably convince them to quit. As a matter of fact, 2 of my friends used to smoke, but I convinced them to stop.

I started a support group for that. We have T-Shirts and meet every Thursday.

Nope. I had a grandpa die of cancer due to smoking, and then my grandma died of other problems due to smoking. I know it kills, and I will never do it.

Believe me, if someone smokes, chances are they know it, and continue to do it because they enjoy it. Let people smoke if they want to.iMuffins

Never have, never will.

But I won't judge the people who do, it's their choice.

Exactly. I'm not saying that people who do smoke are bad people. It's their choice, and they can do what they want. I have just always wondered why people start smoking when they know what kind of negative effects it can have.

I only smoke hookah when I'm hanging out with friends at a hookah lounge. Its not something I do regularly. CommanderShiro

Smoking is worth it so when you do quit and something bad happens you can be like "Picked a hell of a day to quit smoking!" and light up! Cancer? Totally worth it to let out that line....

Joking aside, yes I smoke, have done for 5 years. It's my own stupid mistake for ever getting addicted and I have lost family members because they smoked. I'll pay my dues though:P

I used to, but I quit.

My friends always use to make fun of me because I run cross country / track and I smoke. :| So that was real nice of them. :P

Buddy of mine has a hookah. its great.

I've never smoked a cigarette though I occasionally smoke a pipe or cigar. I realize it's not healthy and that I shouldn't, I just simply enjoy going out into the woods with a pipe to read. It's enjoyable and relaxing to me.

Many smoke cigarettes for the fix though I smoke pipes instead due to the lack of additives and because of all the work required to smoke a pipe. It's much more difficult to chain smoke with a pipe. I'm too lazy to carry around all the stuff for a pipe anyway. I typically only smoke about once every two weeks though occasionally upwards of twice a week.

Cigars are also too expensive for my college student self to smoke outside of special occasions. Pipe smoking is also a lot cheaper than smoking cigarettes which is nice (unless you collect expensive pipes).

Also, I do not plan to smoke forever as I only plan to while I'm single.
