I smoke, and it's my only bad habit.

I smoke, but hand-rolled. This kind of tobacco is not so dangerous, specially bcos it's mainly tobacco, without the hundreds of substances added by cigarette makers... (I specially enjoy Van Nelle Mild).

my mom and dad both smoked a l o t but have since quit, but I grew up with it, and that totally turned me off to it.

I've tried it once or twice and coughed a lot - they didn't agree with me. I'm probably allergic as well.

I had 3 cigarettes in my entire life (I bought them when I was 12 and just really wanted to see what it was like). They tasted good (I had menthol) but seeemed like quite a waste of money, i didn't even bother to finish the rest of the pack.

Quitting, quitting, quitting. And man, I really want a cigarette. Right now, I could walk across the street and the nice man at the liquor store would be happy to sell me some and I could stand out on the porch of my office in the sunshine and the cool breezes and enjoy sucking that beautiful smoke into my lungs and feeling the twitchiness and the doginess all melt away and life would be so much better than it is right now, but then I'll just keep going throught this heinous withdrawal process and it'll never get better and have I mentioned that I'd really like to smoke RIGHT NOW?!

I despise them, even though I smoke a cigar about one a month. I hate it when I go to a bar and when I come home I smell like smoke. Even in the morning when I jump in the shower I smell. And I don't smoke cigarettes either. I also think people's breath smell pretty bad as well. I do not condemn anyone for smoking. If you are trying to quit I commend you. It's a difficult habit for many people.

Never smoked tobacco, never will. Marijuana's much better for you.

I never got the nicotine rush when I tried it, so I really couldn't see why you'd bother.

Asthma made this an easy decision... I really like the smell of pipe smoke, though... brings back childhood memories of my professor uncle.

I have one family (friends) that I smoke with and they live out of state. I only see them every 2-5 years, and then I smoke a pack of Salems. I quit as soon as I board the plane.

I absolutely despise cigarettes. However, I did try exactly ONE puff while drunk in order to make a friend of mine shut up at a party.

I smoke very occasionally, perhaps 10 cigarettes in the past 5 or 6 years. I actually enjoy the experience when i do. this usually occurs when i've had some alcohol, but not always. playing with the lit cigarette is fun, and i usually get an interesting little buzz.

I tried a few cigarettes in Jr. High - High School; fortunately never enough to develop an addiction. I probably smoked more "other substances" than tobacco, but haven't done any smoking in years.

I like cloves, but normal tobacco? Not a habit I'd even want to take a chance on starting. I did try a puff on one once, and luckily hated it.

My father smoked when I was growing up. (He finally quit, cold turkey, on about his fifth try a few years ago.) I simply -cannot- understand the appeal.

They say that if your parents smoke, you are also more likely to smoke. But I gotta tell ya, cleaning yellow grime off of windows and walls and ... well, everything else, sure guaranteed that I would never try it ...

Medtech will probably be able to fix me by the time I'm likely to die of cancer. If not, well hey, if you can't have a good and fulfilling life in 50 years, you're not likely to have one in 70.

I can't say I've even been a smoker, really... I've had cigarrettes on occasion, and for a while it was just a social kind of thing that went with drinking wine. Now if you see me smoke, it probably means something very =very= bad is going on.

I used to smoke a pack or so a day, then quit and since then I have smoked when I wanted to... Mainly during parties.

It was a social thing when I was 14, everyone else did. But I'm too into sports and outdoors, and quickly stopped. I'm really glad I did, seeing what my friends are going through now.

Occasional. which seems to confuse a lot of people. I can do it or not depending on my mood or desire. I will go months (or years) then smoke a pack, or do one a week, or one a day for a couple months. I generally smoke when I drink as well (keep all them vices together).

I don't smoke, never have, I don't have much intrest to do so, I don't realy see the point, I can live without. I won't jump on you if you do though. I don't think anyone is ever going to try and get me to with force so I think that is how it's going to be.

One of my parents smoked for the first decade of my life, so I was a second hand smoker. I wish it were banned in public parks as well as all the indoor places where the public can go.

I'm trying to quit, and I'm right around the 3 week mark, and it's BAD. ***Hey, Will, no one has yet complained about my range of answers for this question! ***It's now been about a month and a half, and the bad part is over (like anybody cares, but even so). ***In case anyone cares, I just changed my answer to "I used to smoke, but I quit." Quite a milestone for me. ***Well, jeez, it won't have been permanent until I die, but I've been tempted pretty badly lately and managed to resist.

My soon-to-be mother-in-law quit about the same time I did, and she suddenly got very sick - severe allergies and a lung infection. Ironic, isn't it?

I have had three grandparents die because of smoking. I watched all their suffering and decided I don't want to go that way.

I used to "smoke" (didn't inhale) menthol cigarettes in junior high school when I was with a particular clique of girls. Then one of them burned a hole in my bedroom curtains when we were hanging out, and my mom convinced me that smoking was indeed hazardous to my health [but not in the traditional sense  * smile * ] *** wow, steve, I don't know anyone who was hooked who has been able to permanently stop smoking. That's pretty cool. *** um, I was just saying that's cool.
