    It might seem profound to do your plan but it would probably better to quit as soon as your wife discovers she's pregnant.
    I'll read the research in a bit but 'wife' why can't I get my 'girlfriend' or a 'ONS' pregnant? or do I have to wait until I have wife?

    No of course you don't, but I assumed you were a respectable gentleman.

    Ha, I am not respectable and to have a child out of wedlock is nothing new in this family :lol:

    Yeap. Very randomly. Whenever the stuff and combustion thingy is around and if I feel like it. At the moment, not, because of the sport I'm doing (catching flying monkeys.)

    I smoke about 5 a day. I know it's **** for my health, but it's my health. I'll probably quit before uni though because the self righteous non smokers do get on my nerves.

    EDIT: Lol, point confirmed.
    I didn't read this whole thread, but the point it YOU smoking isn't just affecting YOUR health. Heard about that horrible thing called second hand smoke? People like you piss me off. I bet you're one of those people who stand right outside the doors of a shop/pub/restaurant so it's like walking onto the stage of Stars in Their Eyes. Horrible.

    To answer the OP's question: no I don't smoke. It's disgusting, it stinks, it makes you look old and tired, and it's crap for your health and the health of those around you. The smoking in Nottingham was so bad it made me throat seize up.

    I answered this up above. I smoke in my back garden only, nobody is affected. Don't jump to conclusions, it makes you look like an *******.

    My neighbour smokes in the garden and it still makes me feel ill. And I doubt you've only ever smoked in your garden, unless you're some sort of hermit.

    That's unfortunate for you, he is entitled to smoke on his own property. I don't bring my cigarettes out of the house because I don't get to spend time to properly enjoy them and I end up aimlessly smoking much more than normal. It's not uncommon for people to do this.

    I have tried it a few times, I used to be really anti smoking and not see the point in it but it can actually be quite pleasant. I would not ever be a full time smoker but I might occasionally enjoy one from time to time.

    I generally don't like the smoke coming from smokers because I can't stand it, and I have nose allergy, which the smoke might cause blockage in my nose. I can never understand why people find themselves more attractive when they smoke. lol

    They are worse than tobacco, you're definitely a smoker.

    Tick yes in the poll

    Re: Do you smoke?
    I played around with cigarettes (and the odd cigar) when I was an undergrad - gave up because I decided they were an expensive waste of time.

    As a non-smoker I'm relaxed pretty much all the time, and I don't need to light up to feel better. And I have the peace of mind that I'm not slowly damaging my lungs, increasing my risk of various cancers, or causing similar health problems to those around me. Also I'm saving hundreds of quid per year, which I can put towards holidays, nice meals out etc.

    And I've hardly ever met an older smoker who didn't wish they could give up.

    Just gave up last Wednesday, quite suddenly and without any previous thought of doing it. So yeah, none since Wednesday. I was smoking about 5 a day.

    :nah:

    Tried once, but I coughed the whole night long :sadnod:

    Never looked back since
    Why would you even try?

    Pretty much the 2 main reason you do not smoke is because it is unhealthy and costly. So why would you even try it? You know it is addictive so by trying you only lose out. Either you continue to not smoke, or you do smoke. So you are not better off, but can be worse off.

    ps ive never met someone who said they liked their first cigarette anyway.
