when i was about 12, i started smoking weed regularly(i know u said not weed) but people i smoked with used to have a cigarette after. at first i said no and such, and they never pushed it on me, then one day decided ill give it a shot. i smoked kinda on and off for about a year, and then once i stooped smoking weed, i stooped smoking cigarettes, and luckily i never got too addicted so it kinda just left, ever since i just said forget it to smoking, pretty happy i did though.

never smoked , never even tried one , same with alcohol and drugs , for me it was all about priorities , I could drink and smoke like my friends or I could have a fast car and bike :) or it could be that I am a control freak , the thought of something inanimate having control over me scares the shit outa me .

I'm the same way.
Ive only tried a few things (cigarettes and alcohol) mostly just to be able to say that I did and I don't want to again.
The control freak in me hates that I'm not "me" when I do.

I think the reason I never smoke is the same - too much wanting to stay in control of my own thoughts and being stubborn and puritanically 'Good'. heh

I've become even more aware of the risks apart from dying from it. My dad (who did smoke when he was younger, but gave it up around 30) lost his hand to cancer 6 years ago, and then his arm a year later when it recurred.

It was a terrible loss for him being an Accordionist, though he didn't die from cancer but had to cope without his arm since. Perhaps from his earlier smoking, the sun or random chance, who's knows.

All I know is that my family didn't have a history of Cancer until now - so I'm even more wary of the other lingering ailments than death from smoking.

But, I know many friends who have enjoyed smoking - I learnt to live with others choices for themselves and so I don't get on a high horse no more. =) We all do something unhealthy for us.

You're fortunate for having such a high self control.

I know a lot of people are quitting... haha. At least where I live. We heading to $8 plus per pack. I put it in perspective for some kids (who just started driving) last night... 4 gallons of gas per pack. And if you smoke more than a pack a day... fuck. And on top of that, if you don't have a job... it's an expensive habit
(I sell cigarettes everyday as part of my job haha)

I used to. I don't know why. I just did. I was alone and seriously disappointed the first time. haha. I think the only reason I kept doing it is because I am a hand to mouth person - I always am messing with something. Never addicted to the nicotine. =/
Then again, people tell me not to do things and I'm going to do them for myself to understand why I shouldn't (even if the risk is obvious).
But that all stopped after my grandma went to the hospital to have 4 heart attacks in less than a week and immediately have several surgeries (directly related to her smoking since she was 13).

Fun tidbit of info for ya:
At least in the states, it doesn't say anywhere that smoking may cause cancer, just low birth weight and defects in pregnant women... the lobbyists have been doing good work breaking the obvious correlation cause once they connect it, they may or may not be open for massive law suits. Big tobacco wouldn't want that!
It's fucking rediculous. I like what other countries do with their warning labels. Very creative.

I first started smoking every once in a while with my freinds, my freind matt and i would go to the bathroom during our last period class and stand on the toilets and blow smoke into the vents, and it worked like that for a while, then we started smoking before school in the woods near the school or in this spot we found near the back parking lot. Then my mom found cigs in my pocket and said she was cool with me smoking cause she started around 14, so i would smoke every day more and more. But then i decided to quit for a very important reason :).
I kinda relapsed though and tried to smoke a few when i was stressed, but it gave me a headache and all of a sudden I hated the taste of cigarettes.And I havent smoked since.

i dunno ive tried it before and dont mind it. ive got higher priorities than smoking, like girls for instance. i dont mind it and ill mabey smoke socially a little, but nothing more than that. i dont like the fact that my parents smoke though. they're being good and trying to quit. they just started the chantix stuff. it seems to work. i dunno ppl smoke because they think it makes them look "cool" [i dont], and ppl think that it is "what the cool kidz do" [again, i don't think so]. some guys do it b/c their gf likes it or something. some do it b/c it makes them "high", and wow, are you fucking weak if a cigarette gets you high! they dont make me high one bit. some do it b/c they want to "rebel" against their parents and such.

JUST A LITTLE NOTE:
Do you know how much you support the government when you smoke?
I love how these "Anarchists" smoke, and they are so against the government. DUH !!!! The dumbas* f*ckers think that smoking is supposed to be "against the government", when many $$$ goes to the government when you buy a pack of cigarettes. I am a true anarchist, therefore i dont smoke [much]. i hope some ppl will realize this eventually.

"Everybody in this time and age knows that it's gonna kill you"

Bullshit. Like a vast range of things, it can but there are many people who suck back cigs like there's no tomorrow and suffer only the non fatal problems like diminished lung capacity for example.
Scare tactics from our great governments seem to be working.

I smoke because i enjoy the smoke trails that dance from the tip. I enjoy the image. I enjoy the fact its a fuck you to all this scare mongering. I enjoy the taste of many cigs and many rolling papers.
But the main reason i smoke is because its attractive to me visually, sort of a fetish, although i could enjoy it equally as much without smoking as the most attractive part is females smoking.

I smoke daily.
I smoke rolling tobacco.
I smoke alone or with friends.

First time was with a group of friends at the age of 12. It was naughty, adult and cool. I've not stopped in 13 years.
