How often do you have to smoke to be considered a smoker?

Question

I am mainly talking about health forms when they ask if you are a smoker.

Answer 1

If you are smoking on any kind of regular basis then you are a smoker. I think anything more then three cigarettes a week would make you a 'smoker' as long as it's consistent. It's more about how much you smoke rather than how long you have been doing it. I considered myself a 'real' smoker once I got up to about a pack a week after about a year of smoking on and off.

Answer 2

If you smoke even one a day and HAVE to have a smoke to calm down, then you're a smoker.

If you smoke a few times a year, then I Would call you more of a part-time smoker.

Answer 3

One cigarette...

Not being a smartalec here. For insurance reasons, if you say you are not a smoker, and you get into an accident or for whatever reason have to go to the doctor and they take a chest xray and find you've been smoking, even one, your insurance can be revoked.

Don't smoke.

Answer 4

If you smoke at all, you're considered a smoker.

Answer 5

Once you started to smoke, you are a smoker, no doubt.

Answer 6

I don't think they'd consider 3-6 a month a smoker... Lots of people only light up with a drink or such... Now if you're an alcoholic..... hmmm....LOL @;~}

Answer 7

Answer 8

you are a smoker if you feel the need to smoke everyday
as you are craving the nicotine.

Answer 9

Answer 10

You either smoke, don't smoke, used to but quit. One puff and you smoke. That's like saying I did smoke that cigarette but I didn't inhale. Which is it?
