Do you smoke?

[Rebel7]

I used to, started at age 17 but not so much like 2 or 3 cigarettes per day. Its been almost two years now I've stopped smoking, out of a incident. I was at a party quite drunk but still able to walk on my own tho' feeling like me walking on air, was heading to the balcony to take some fresh air. Then there's this guy who walk over to me, pushed me against the wall hold my jaw with one hand and kissed me on me lips. that would be the first time kiss from a guy. a quick 5 second kiss..he had his tongue in me mouth and it was hell for me. That dude's a heavy smoker. The pungent smell of tobacco invaded my nose,mouth and throat...i sat there against the wall coughing . I smelled tobacco and tobacco was all i could smell for one day. That's how i quit smoking after this awful bad experience.

You were lucky after all!

Sadly I smoke too much, a very stupid addiction in my opinion

 

[Otage]

I smoke about 20/day. Been smoking for 6 years now. Well actually I was non-smoker for a year because of a job, but then I started again. I realice the health hazards but I still choose to smoke. I'm so used to that, that every cigarette is like a "peacefull moment", highlights in common day. I just love it.

 

[jeansGuyOZ]

No.

 

[MaximumT]

No, and I don't plan to start either. I don't see anything positive about it.

 

[Haplo]

No... I actually never even tried to, it feels meaningless to me considering every side of the issue...
Still, at my faculty there are a lot of smokers, so the only smoking I've done is passive...

that would be the first time kiss from a guy. a quick 5 second kiss..he had his tongue in me mouth and it was hell for me. That dude's a heavy smoker.

I'm sorry to hear that, it would have been a bad experience on its own, but also your first kiss from a guy? Damn, if that isn't bad luck then I don't know what is!
(Still, it got you to quit smoking, so you have your whole life to kiss whoever you want without worrying about the eventual health problems that might have appeared if you had kept smoking... :thinking: )

 

[Georgie]

No,im not smoking

 

[Rebel7]

It took me a while to forget about having a cigarette between the fingers, tossing it in the air and grabbing it back. And those rings you do with the smoke! Sure it was near impossible to stop abruptly. I'd get irritated when i would be in stress, cause smoking brought some relief. The advice of a friend who was into substance abuse was precious. What he advised me to do was to keep only one cigarette and resist the temptation of smoking it. I was to procrastinate every time i felt the urge to light it. And it went on for 5 days before i smoked it. Then i had to restart all over, for constantly a week i would smoke only one, before i could resist for a month. And now i don't even touch one.
But its said bad habit die hard, today whenever i have a pen in my hand i flip it just the way i did with a cigarette.

@Haplo : lol..i really like kissing but that guy was sort of blessing in disguise. I wouldn't want to choke someone like that just by a kiss.

 

[Casanova]

I'm asthmatic, so I've avoided cigarettes at all cost

When I was growing up, my parents were heavy smokers, and saw nothing wrong with smoking in the house, in the car, at the dinner table, constantly; breathing in this air had a very significant negative impact on my health. Now I definitely do not smoke and can't be around anyone (let alone kiss!) who does either.

I smoke. It's enjoyable. I've been forced to cut down somewhat due to finding myself in more and more situations in which burning one would be a faux pas. I sure do miss restaurants with smoking sections.

 

[haohiepboy]

More 80 percent Vietnamese men smoke. I smoked in three cases :

1) While I fell said

2) After meal if I ate seafood

2) After I had sex

 

[Alyrda]

no i dont i will not start with it

 

[larrywar]

Yes, I smoke. Been smoking now for 55 years, and I expect I'll be smoking on
my final day on earth. I look at it as an addiction now, since I can't really say I get much pleasure from it. And I do get a little pissed at how the US has now made us smokers into "Nicotine Outlaws." (I experienced discrimination a hell of a lot more as a smoker than I ever did as a gay man.)

 

[SonnyB]

Never picked up the habit.

 

[Rebel7]

May be you'll find this funny, but now whenever i smell cigarette smoke it makes me hungry. Not hunger to smoke but for food, and its worst i haven't had a meal.

 

[sympatico]

unfortunately yes

I am a smoker. First pipe, later cigars and now shag and cigars. I think that the campaign against smoking is a bit unrealistic. There is no question about the fact that smoking is unhealthy. People do a lot of things that are unhealthy. Drinking is unhealthy, getting overweight is unhealthy, lack of movement is unhealthy and, and, and.

Smoking is not a one way road to get lung cancer. More than 80% of the smokers don’t get it. However they can get other problems, like vasoconstriction, high blood pressure and heart disease. So smoking is not advisable.

Drinking is not a one way road to liver cancer. I don’t know a percentage, but seeing the alcohol consumption, you would expect liver transplants all around the clock in all hospitals. They don’t. But you can get other problems. So drinking is not advisable.

Overweight is one of the major problems nowadays. It causes diabetes, problems with your blood vessels, heart disease, high blood pressure and problems with your joints. Nearly all people over 50 who have severe overweight have one or more of these diseases. So overweight is not advisable.

Smoking is a not accepted habit in our society. Strangely drinking and overweight are accepted. Campaigns against unhealthy behavior should be more differentiated.

Happily none of my kids smoke and they don’t have overweight. Their drinking behavior could be better.

I gave up smoking cigarettes 12 years ago, I don't feel any healthier, except in my wallet. A packet of cigarettes in the UK is fast approaching £7.00

 

[XMan101]

No, more like £6 unless you smoke the very expensive brands.

I've smoked on & off for years and probably always will. I don't care about anybody's opinions, I don't smoke where it's not wanted, even at home if I have non-smokers around.

In fact your own house is the only place indoors you can legally smoke anymore, one reason contributing to the closure of so many pubs, not to mention the exhorbitant price of beer on top of things of course. Pubs ain't the same without the smokey atmosphere

Oddly enough, the first person I kissed properly was a smoker (many years ago) and it was before I smoked. I actually found the aroma sexy It wasn't a turn off for me at all. No, it wasn't the reason I started )
