do you smoke?

[lynnestankard]

I used to smoke many years ago and quite about 3 years before Diane was born. Even after this long time I do occassionaly get the urge to have a cigarette!! I don't though!

Don still smokes and has tried many times to give up - he once managed about 10 months and then started again. He's tried the chewing gum, the patches and the fake cigarettes. I'm still hoping he will stop one day - the sooner the better!!

I never have smoked and never will. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. I get a sore throat and headachey when I'm around too much.

I do know its a hard thing to quit and I wish everyone the best of luck!!

Popcornbird - Wait until you get to college, you'll see more smoking than you've ever seen in your life. I've never noticed more men smokers than women. Would be interesting to see statistics on that.

More smoking in college than highschool? Oh lord.

I do not smoke, although I have had a few cigars... one after our wedding, a Cuban, while we were on our honeymoon and one after dinner each of the 2 times I have been to Emeril's restaruant in FL.

NO Never even tried one. My mom smoked. Died of lung cancer at 56 years old. She quit cold turkey, at the end (and even though it was too late, she COULD breath better during those last months, so that was some comfort) But let me tell any smokers out there............
Dying of lung diseaseSUCKS You don't want to do it and you don't want to watch it.!!

Nope, I don't smoke, and neither do my parents, and I am very thankful for that. They used to smoke when they were in High School, but they quit when they started having kids.

Smoking is just disgusting! How can anyone destroy their own health like that just because of a stupid addiction?!?! I never smoked, nor will I EVER even try to. Its a disgusting habit. No one in my family smokes so I'm grateful for that. Smoking is a big no no for me.

I gave up nearly three years ago (on July 20) after smoking for 37 years. Just over two years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. I haven`t escaped unscathed but at least I escaped.

My mom smoked. Died of lung cancer at 56 years old. She quit cold turkey, at the end (and even though it was too late, she COULD breath better during those last months, so that was some comfort)............

My Mum too Jen, only difference was she was sixtyfour. You would have thought I would have learned then. Yes, I was addicted to the damn things and it was so very hard to quit, even now I dare not have just half a cigarette because I know I will be back to square one.
I applaud all those who never have nor will smoke, and to those who do, I have been there, it is so hard to quit I know, but please keep trying, you can do it, really.
