i dont think smoking is a particularly a bad thing, sorta think the media hypes it up to be this massive killer. but yeah, started smoking by a "social smoke". haha, i think i just think i have built up a habit of having a cig when i drink. think i might have to go and try them camel lights if them camel filters are discontinued.
this package change also means, i cant get them 10 packs of sterling fresh taste (cheapest) or golden leaf 7g.
i tend to have about 2 rollies a day. tend to go for golden leaf cause it is the cheapest haha, but sometimes i treat myself with American Spirits. but i tend to have more if i go out, like i could have up to 5 at a night out.

so it does vary quite a bit.
Yeah, doesn't sound like too many. You planning to quit?

not really had a thought about quitting. probably will do sometime in the future if they get too expensive. but it's always handy to have a packet of rolling tobacco on you, if you know what i mean.
former smoker for five years. that's the problem with fags, it is so nice to have just one, more, but then you can't stop. trust me cold turkey is the best way to give up. and once you stop, don't look back!
out of interest, how did you give up then, cold turkey completely or patches/gum too? how were the withdrawal symptoms etc??

i normally use the gum, but i once tried zyoban and it seemed to help for a while. also read allan carr's easy way to give up smoking but it is still difficult. you have to make the point of setting a resolution never to smoke again, from a set date, then stick to it.
How long does it take you to smoke a fag and when you're finished do you just drop it on the floor?
Normally about 4 minutes. If I'm at home (outside) or sitting outside of a pub or cafe then I often use an ash tray, but if I'm at a bus stop or just smoking on the street I often just drop it tbh because often there isn't anywhere else.
I have answered that question about 5 times but basically because 1) I need to because it's addictive 2) I sort of quite enjoy it. I have begun to reduce the number I smoke though in an attempt to quit.

When you started, how many fags did you smoke a day? Also, did you smoke in school and if so how did you fit them in around lessons?
When I first started I smoked pretty on and off, some days I wouldn't have one and then another day I would have 2-3. Within 6 month-1 year I began to reguarly smoke 4 or 5 a day and if I went to a party or something I might have had more. I didn't smoke in school initially but when it became more regular I sort of needed to. As I have said, I would often have one before school, one at morning break, one at lunch, one after school and one in the evening so it wasn't really too bad to fit it in around lessons.
