Do you smoke?

[wolfsoul]

Nope. I can't have any sort of smoke around me -- it gives me a bad headache. I even have to hold my breath when cars go by me because the smoke just makes me sick.

I had my first cigarette when I was three LOL. My parents both smoked, so I thought it was cool. I was out on the patio with my dad (I still remember this), and I asked him for a smoke. He said "You won't like it." I told him I would. He lit a smoke and gave it to me. I think he expected me to inhale or burn myself and learn my lesson -- but I didn't. I put it in my mouth. I wasn't sure what to do with it. It was boring, so I gave it back to him. Haven't wanted to smoke since.

Yes, My husband and I both do. We tried quitting a couple of weeks ago but we blew it so we are going to try not smoking again on Saturday. I hate being a smoker!! It's such a nast unhealthy habit. Wish me luck with it. I really want to make it this time.

Nope. I never have and never will. Smoking disgusts me.

Ditto. Both my parents smoke and sometimes I feel like I can't get away from it! It's at a point where my throat, nose..etc burn when I'm too close.

My bf and I do. I went a long time without smoking until Dan and I seperated. My bf and I plan on quitting soon though. I need too for my health. I absolutely HATE feeling like I need a cigarette.

My dad smoked from age 14 to 46 and he still chews nicorette constantly. I am allergic to it and he always smoked around me. He has been trying to quit since I was very small. My mom "secretly smokes outside w/ the dog and I have to make sure I know exaclty where he is when she's outside because it makes me SSOSOOOSOOO mad that she not only harms herself, but has to harm my dog too. Several times I have told her about people smoking around Niño at the park and she gets all sielent. I think she knows I know.

I never will!!!!!!

I make it a habit to NOT smoke around those who don't, even around those who do I stand far away as I don't want them breathing smoke in. I guess I just have more respect than other smokers do. Being a smoker myself, I still hate when people blow it into my face.

I have a goal to quit smoking by July.

Not any more, I smoked from age 16 to 23, and was a chain smoker, I gave up to have my first child, and have never smoked since and WILL NEVER AGAIN.

When I was 23, I gave in to peer pressure and took up light smoking. That is, one pack would last me 2 weeks and that's when the cost of 55 cents a pack. I was still living at home and didn't want my parents to know so I did all the common things....breath fresheners, etc.

That "stage" only lasted about 6 months because at that time I met "Al" and he literally said...choose between me or the cigarettes. That was in 1975 and I've never picked up another cigarette since.

I now work for the Cancer Society and sometimes when smokers here that, they shy away, like they expect me to give them a lecture or something. I hate it when that happens.

Smoking is choice and I have NO right to judge those that do smoke. I have some very good friends who smoke and I love them to bits.

My only rule is no smoking in my home (not even on the deck) or in my car.

NO!!! I am probably the only kid in my high school who has not smoked a cigarette (or a joint for that matter). I will NEVER take a puff, it is so disgusting, I couldn't even imagine me smoking. My mom was a heavy smoker when I was little. All I remember is the house being dark and dingy with smoke, everything smokey, yellow and stinky, dry skin and hair- it was repulsive.

Plus, I have horrible second-hand asthma (since my mom smoked whilst she was pregnant), if I took a puff it would probably a horrible asthma attack. Cigarette smoke also gives me HORRIBLE migranes if I am around it for too long.

I refuse to date a smoker too...kissing an ashtray is not my thing....

[rizzy]

I have never tried it and I dont plan on it. I cant stand second hand smoke and like Karen said its like slow sucicide, I believe. I also highly encourage anyone who does smoke to do anything to quit.

I'm another one who never has and never will.

[gkristian]

To this point in my life i haven't smoked and i probebly won't ever smoke.
