you have smokers and non-smokers. How about the person that has smoked for years, but given up several times, are they a semi-smoker?

No such thing as a semi smoker. You are either a smoker or a non smoker.

Well when I was young I smoked about 30 a day for a number of years. Now I smoke about 7 a day. My medical records list me as a 'trivial smoker'. If I get a cold or something I do stop for a while but generally drift back into it. Just one of those things like keeping your weight down. I'll never be a size 8 but I've never gone over a 14. I suppose I've just got a no-panic attitude.

Well, if they gave up but started again, they are still smokers. I know a few people that may only smoke like one cigarette a day. I think they would be more likely to qualify for "semi-smoker" status.

A smoker is a smoker until they decide to totally quit. And, do totally quit. According to vital statistics, a person is considered a non-smoker (when they quit smoking) 15 yrs. after they quit smoking. I understand it being hard to quit, but please do, completely.

An ex- alcoholic is often refered to as an alcoholic not currently drinking. This signifies that he is still an alcoholic. Perhaps it would be appropriate to similarly call this individual a smoker who is not currently smoking?

No they're an indecisive idiot with no willpower! Yes I smoke by the way and I have never tried to give up because I enjoy it and will not stop because someone tells me to. Ooh, I think I'll have a smoke!

If they ahave given it up several times, they have never given it up at all. They are fooling themselves. That's like saying someone is a little bit pregnant. Either you is or you ain't!

Once you smoke that first cigarette, its going to be difficult to stop... "Its a mental thing". Smoking cigarettes is almost like being addicted to a drug.... your body is going to keep wanting the nicotine..... that's why its so hard to stop smoking.

I say, just quit and become a NON-SMOKER and don't worry about labels. QUIT NOW -- It's only harder if you wait!
