Do you smoke? If so, why?

Cigarettes only. I would like to know why you smoke, does it make you feel better? More social?

Strictly against smoking
No.

I've tried it a few times and have never understood the appeal.

Edit: Also, I'd be interested hearing from people who are social smokers. I have a few friends who are social smokers and I don't quite understand it - if you're a regular smoker, I can sort of understand (nicotine is addictive, after all), but I don't understand why you would do it occassionally in social situations.

Used to. Gave up when I realized it was completely stupid.
Does weed count?
Yes, because it feels good.

What is there not to understand; the term is self-explanatory. It's for those who want an occasional fag without getting hooked, and it's good to get some fresh air and socialise every now and again, isn't it?

How does that work?

1. Walk outside

2. Have a fag; socialise.

Some people put weed and smoking cigarettes in the same basket, just saying.
It's only occasional. :dontknow:

I have tried it only once when I was young, it was disgusting.

I think breathing in toxic chemicals into your lungs negates the 'fresh air' you get.

I'm just a bit surprised that's all.

That being said, I can't really say anything, I've smoked weed a few times myself :colone:
