A person should never quit smoking. Everyone should smoke, especially children. Think of all the wonderful benefits of smoking. My son's 7 and he's up to a pack a day. I'm trying to get him to smoke more. My goal is to have him smoking 2 packs a day by the end of the year. |

Don't even start. |

Just before they actually start would be smart. |

I would have never thought Zang was the creator of this survey. |

In my defense. I kept reading it as 'what is a good age to start smoking. That is why I asked for the 'never' option. |
LJD   | | posted 11-Sep-2006 1:54am |
The best thing is to never start smoking. I've never smoked in my life, and I've heard it is a tough habit to break, but can be stopped... |
| Venetian2416 | | posted 11-Sep-2006 2:22am |
Anytime. Preferably earlier on in life but it's up to the smoker. |
| Melf | | posted 11-Sep-2006 2:44am |
What kind of a dumb question is this? |
| clare | | (reply to Zang) posted 11-Sep-2006 3:52am |
Congratulations. I don't think I've come across a survey before now that shows all zeros on the options. |
| clare | | (reply to RGirl) posted 11-Sep-2006 3:54am |
It did say "start smoking" originally. It looks like he was getting a lot of requests to add a "never" option, which he did, but then he changed the question too. |
| kirst | | posted 11-Sep-2006 6:16am |
Now. Smoking cigarettes is a really ignorant habit. Quit now!
Silly options on this survey as well. I don't think many under 10's smoke. |
bill  | | posted 11-Sep-2006 7:27am |
This smells like a Zang survey... reminds me of the "When did you stop beating your wife?" question... I tried to make a survey about that, but I chickened-out when I got resistance to it in qual. |

I believe that the question was different when you requested that option, and it made sense. Zang is just being zangy these days

Before you start. |
| Lahdee | | posted 11-Sep-2006 9:40am |
 Other. The day a person starts is a good age to quit. |
| mve17 | | posted 11-Sep-2006 11:06am |
2 or less..
You mean years old?
TWO years old??

That would be because the original version actually said that.

What I meant is that none of the boxes had been checked. There have been some checked now, so I guess my previous comment is pointless. |

Oh. I didn't see that. I thought you meant "lots of options with zeros"... |
| Galomorro | | posted 11-Sep-2006 12:11pm |
Anytime. Just don't start in the first place. Why do kids think it is so "cool" to smoke? First of all, think of all the money you could be spending on other things, not to mention it's an unhealthy habit, smells bad, and turns other people off when they have to walk thru a crowd of people outside smoking on the sidewalk. |
| clare | | (reply to Zang) posted 11-Sep-2006 12:22pm |

I don't think there is a certain age. Whenever you feel ready to. For me it was 19.
However, it's better never to start. |

Good ideas. You also should burn pot in the babie's room to help quiet the rugrat down for sleep.

but you're the admin. Can't you just bypass qual. |

Whenever I step out of line, everyone gives me crap about it... I almost got lynched for banning verouge. It's hard to get away with anything in a public forum. |

Why on earth would you do that instead of making a new survey? They are two completely different surveys. |
| llamamama | | posted 11-Sep-2006 4:14pm |
Never. You shouldn't have started to begin with. |
| Maarten | | posted 11-Sep-2006 7:41pm |
Another Zang survey? |

@Bill: What?? You banned Verouge??? |
| Zang | | (reply to RGirl) posted 11-Sep-2006 8:02pm |
Something irked me about having to include an option for "Never". I could see that I wasn't going to get it out without one, so I merely changed the question in a subtle way... |
| IncredibAl | | posted 11-Sep-2006 8:24pm |

It's always a good time to quit doing unhealthy things to your body. |

3 months BEFORE you think about smoking your first butt. Smoking has got to be the most stupid activity known to man. |

perhaps |
| RGirl | | (reply to Zang) posted 11-Sep-2006 9:53pm |
But the only logical answer to 'What is a good age to start smoking?' is 'never'. |
| Zang | | (reply to RGirl) posted 12-Sep-2006 3:00am |
Well, (if you want to bring "logic" into it) I suppose it depends on one's priorities... |

Don't start and you won't have to worry about trying to quit. |
| chumpsrock | | posted 11-Oct-2006 12:33am |
I quit when I was 15. Of course I never got addicted or anything. Smoking is the most unhealthy (yet publically accepted) thing that a person can do. I absolutely hate it. |

> Smoking is the most unhealthy (yet

I suppose public acceptance varies by locality. It certainly isn't considered acceptable around here. I'd venture to say that using an automobile is the most unhealthy thing a person can do. More people are killed and injured from automobile accidents than any other individual cause. Next to that would probably be eating an unhealthy diet.
