tried it once, horribleness. No offense to those that smoke but if you're near me, go kill yourself somewhere else xD

Nope--my dad did when I was little and it put me off the stuff for good--our backyard smelled TERRIBLE...
He quit cold-turkey, though, because he had a surgery and the doctor said, "Quit. No nicotine patches, no NOTHING. JUST QUIT."
So now he's addicted to mint gum .
My sister does because my dad did and she's about 20 years older than me...*sigh* I think she has some kind of lung disease now, but I'm not sure...

Never a whiff, and I hate the smell of smoke. Even campfire smoke smells better.

I used to smoke for a year, from freshman year to the the start of sophomore!

I've been completely 100% clean for a year.

One day I was like, "Hmm... I don't feel like it."

And I quit. Wasn't hard. ^_^

I have some family memebers who are heavy smokers. I have friends who have but now don't. I have friends who smoke other stuff. Psychos. Even though I'm practically surrounded by smokers, I'll try ti not smoke any cigars, cigarettes, etc.

No. I just can't stand the smell. My grandpa used to smoke, and it was almost impossible for me to be around him. But he quit, so now nobody in my family smokes.

Default Re: Who smokes?

About a year and a half ago I smoked a few cigars. Damn they tasted and smelled good. It was kind of expensive though (some were around 15 bucks a stogie), not to mention bad for my health. That and it was also the middle of winter and in my neck of the woods it drops to about -40° C so standing outside in that weather takes some of the enjoyment out of it.

I could probably count the number of cigars I smoked on both hands and I don't really plan to smoke again. I wouldn't turn one down if it was a special occasion or something.

I've tried it a couple times and I will smoke one now and then, but for the most part I try to stay away from them. My dad's lung collapsed when I was little so that's a pretty good deterrent. Plus, I don't like the way it makes your clothes and car smell. Yuck.

No, I think it's a disgusting habit and it's a big turn off for me. But I don't judge others for it because it's their choice to do what they want, just don't do it near me.

I love the smell of campfire smoke, it's a little weird but I love standing in the smoke so I smell nice for the next few days... I love camping.
Anything besides campfire smoke I can't stand, I'd never date anyone who does and fortunately none of my family smokes. Just walking by someone smoking makes me cough for a while afterwards so I probably wouldn't even be able to start.
