Do you smoke?

How long have you been smoking for?

and what is your reason for smoking (despite knowing the health risks)?

I'm very curious, my dad is a smoker and has been smoking for most of his life despite knowing the risks. I don't think he will ever give it up. I think it helps calm him down and he has said it wakes him up during drives because he has to drive very, very far to work every single day and needs to stay alert.

Been vaping for a few years - got my new mod in the mail the other day (rx200s with cubis)

Once you switched over and learn how it all works etc it's infinitely better

Buy your dad a MVP or something - save his life!

I've never tried cigarettes, I don't think I ever will.

I've done weed a few times. I was just curious, wanted to know how it felt.

No
I never would in all honesty. Each to their own but I find it repelling.

We get it ... you vape
Want some Cuban cigars... but so bloody expensive :frown:
Smoking isn't worth it - you're sacrificing potentially 1/3 of your life.
I guess is pretty enjoyable (yummy, crazily addictive drugs), but the taste afterwards if incredibly disgusting.
My dad used to smoke and I was so worried for his health but now he has switched to electronic cigarettes. Maybe ask your dad to consider switching too if you are worried about his health. My dad didn't like them at first as he had been smoking real cigarettes since he was 15 but now he wouldn't even consider switching back.

Since we're on the topic, can you explain "vaping" to me?

I don't smoke that often but more often than not it is down to my clients
if they smoke then we'll have a smoke and a glass of scotch or cognac as we discuss a deal
it's those little touches that make them go to you as you're friendly and hospitable not just a corporate juggernaut
