I guess I will be the first one to answer...
YES, I DO IT
I mean, its just dried up mucus. Sometimes it mixes with blood when inner-nasal tissue breaks open and bleeds. Supposely, it exists to...
a) Lubricate the nasal cavity and throat.
b) To trap dust and germs introduced into the body by the nose.
Now, I think its really your parents and public opinion that make it gross for you to do it. I mean logically, yes, you should not do it. Anything you expell from your body should be disposed of.
I actually like the taste, which is really frigging disgusting but hey, you said be honest. Im not proud of my habit. But what started me to do it is have this thing where I go crazy if I feel there is anything in my nose. So I have to pick to get it out. Like if I have a half dislodged booger in there, I can't even think or focus until it is gone. Drives me bonkers. Depending on if I am alone or not, I wil eat it.
I read an article that if you eat them, it will actually higher your immune system over time by ingesting boogers with dust and germs. I have been doing this for as long as I remember. Maybe since 4. I am 27 now and you know, I do actually never get sick. Maybe twice in the last 5 years. So hey, maybe they are right. But I wouldn't start eatting your boggers after you become an adult if you haven't done it before. Especially if you get sick on a usual basis anyway. Your body may not be used to it and you may get sick.
You asked for honesty, here it is.

No, I don´t do that man. I don´t even think I did that when I was a kid because I have a strong gag reflex. If I see anything on tv that uses saliva, spit, vomit, or whatever else to make a laugh, I gag, and feel like I want to ralph all over the place...so basically if I CAUGHT somebody doing that I would make a sharp sharp 180 and wish I had never met them. Peace.

I have not got any doubt which you're obtainable you in simple terms won't admit it.

next time you're at traffic lights, have a look to see how many drivers are picking their noses and doing unmentionable things with their pickings, it's always the posh, sophisticated ones
