are u a smoker?

Question

are u a smoker? why do u smoke? if u not a smoker, why not?

Answer 1

I am (but am in the process of not).

I started when I joined the military (a long time ago) and noticed that smokers got a smoke break, while the non-smokers had to pick up trash. I thought I would do it for 8 weeks then quit. . . 23 years later and I am still trying to quit.

(I know, what a lazy, selfish reason to start smoking but cut me some slack - I was 18 and lazy and selfish)

Answer 2

I am not a smoker. I tried it once years ago and it made me feel dizzy and I vomited. I thought to myself if this made me sick, then its not healthy.

I don't smoke for a few reasons. It smells really gross and that smell gets into your hair and clothes. Plus it does cause medical problems. My Dad doesn't smoke, but he had a heart attack due to second hand smoke from my Mom. All the doctors thought he was a smoker because his arteries were so bad, This proved to me that second hand smoke can harm you too.

Answer 3

I Sure do. I started to be cool when I was in high school. Now I'd love to quit but every time I try I am unsuccessful. Reasons I'd like to quit: So I don't develop health problems, I stink, my dog is allergic and people look at smokers like they are trash. I do enjoy it though so I guess I just don't want to quit bad enough. I live in Ohio and they just passed a state wide smoking ban.

Answer 4

i am....i smoke to keep me from being 400 pounds...people frown upon obesity, yet they wonder why so many people suffer from eating disorders. Now they would rather you get out and run 100 miles than to smoke. Public bans on smoking...i guess when they stop selling cigarettes I'll have to stop eating because obesity is our #1 concern here. Sorry about the rant i just think higher officials should worry about taxes and things instead of what we weigh and wheather or not we are killing ourselves by smoking.

Answer 5

YES! I'm a smoker! LOL

Why do i smoke? I started out smoking 3-4yrs back. B'coz my workmates smoke and when we go clubbing, it seems like the only thing to do since I can't dance.

Now? I can't stop. well ... also b'coz I don't want to quit. Long story ...

Answer 6

Yes I am a smoker. I love smoking. I enjoy it, I find it relaxing and I guess I am also hopelessly hooked.

Answer 7

I stopped cold turkey in 2000 after 24 years of sucking in the wicked weed.
I used to hand roll my smokes and I used Drum tobacco or even pipe tobacco because the strongest cigarettes on the market didn't satisfy me. When I was a kid, I even smoked small, very dry, pieces of driftwood and unpainted wicker(yep!driftwood and wicker).
I went through a vicious choking/coughing spell in that year that caused a large vessel in my throat and sinus to explode. This was brought on by smoking and was terrifying because they had to do 3 hours of surgery to sew the throat vein back together and then had to cauterize the sinus vein.
I looked at my 11 years old son, my 8 year old stepson, my beatiful wife, and told myself then and there that I wasn't going to put them through the pain of strangling to death in front of them while gasping for air.
It's been 8 years without and I sure can breathe easier.

Answer 8

Im a smoker. I love to smoke I enjoy it. It relaxes me! (Its the way I was raised I assure you) im 25 if you wanted to know age!

Answer 9

I only smoke when I drink and thats not very often. I smoke when I drink because I like the taste and the overall effect. I don't smoke on a regular basis because I don't like the taste if that makes sense.

Answer 10
