smoking

JawnDiablo - 8-25-2010 at 09:11 AM

do you or do you not smoke ?
cigarettes.
not reefers.
not cigars.
I'm not asking this as a means to judge you or any of that horseshit, just wondering.
it came up in conversation this morning.
besides, I am bored, unemployed and collecting information for no fucking reason.
I read a nice article on eels of all things today.
my life is getting more uninteresting by the minute.

XHonusWagnerX - 8-25-2010 at 09:14 AM

nope, I never have. No offense to anyone that does smoke, but I dont get it at all. I understand drinking (never done that either) more than smoking.

mattybar - 8-25-2010 at 09:17 AM

i smoke and wish i didn't.
sometimes i can go without it for days but as soon as i taste alcohol i need a smoke.

Johnny_Whistle - 8-25-2010 at 09:17 AM

I do. I'm not proud of it. I've quit before and always gone back, sometimes years later, usually due to some kind of stress. Thankfully, my daughter has never picked up the habit. Gonna take another run at quitting very very soon.

In 8th grade me and a bunch of friends tried we all had someone get us our own pack of cigarettes. I remembered trying it and just coughing and then smelling like cigarettes then never wanted it again. I couldn't give the cigarettes away fast enough.

Vanilla Gorilla - 8-25-2010 at 09:50 AM

I have a lot of friends that smoke and it doesn't bother me, i just don't let them smoke in my car or apartment. They finally passed a no smoking law in NC so people can't smoke in bars or restaurants, i don't mind people smoking in bars, but it is nice to be able to get home and not smell like cigarette smoke though.

I quit for the third time about 2 months ago. I only quit for health reasons. I really enjoy smoking.

BDx13 - 8-25-2010 at 10:26 AM

I tried it a couple times when i was 9 or 10 and the older kids i hung out with were doing it. I hated it. Never touched it again.

It was around that time my dad let me and my one of my friends try his Redman chewing tobacco. Fucking horrible. I'm seriously considering making my kids try it at that age just to make the same impression on them.

Everyone should smoke.It looks cool,and tastes satIsfyingly smooth.It calms you down and wakes you up at the same time.You got your Filtered,your Non-Filtered ( for REAL men,and old people)...You got 100's (for broads) and 120's (for selfish broads that talk a lot)...You got Menthols (For Blacks and Puerto Ricans...EXCEPT for Jamaicans and Haitians,who smoke Winston's and Marlboro's..NO,I DON'T KNOW WHY.IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.DON'T FUCK WITH THIS DELICATE BALANCE.JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.)...Cloves are for those weird looking kids that wear make-up.I don't believe they're gay,but in England they call cigarettes "fags"..FUCKIN' CRAZY,RIGHT?

I'm on and off when it comes to smoking. I have a pack sitting in my truck right now but haven't touched it in over a month.

haha I remember when me and some pals stole a tin of skoal from the wawa. I might have been 12. I accidentally swallowed it.
I could feel myself turning green....

and having sold cigs at a job for a short time, this is dead on accurate.

JawnDiablo - 8-25-2010 at 11:19 AM

I smoked when I was like 10.
I remember them being $1.10 a pack at the Arco station.
MY mom caught me and raised hell.
Smoked when I was a 15 year old "hammer" (only Gavin's gonna be hip to that phrase)...it wore off.
I smoke one here and there if I am beyond wasted.
The bars in Philly and many in the burbs have barred smoking.I always thought that smoking and drinking in a bar went together like scrapple and ketchup. Never had a real issue with it.
All I know is I\ couldn't afford it these days, in fact I saw a crackhead lookin guy this morning picking butts up, keeping some and discarding the others.

I got a kick out of seeing Paul smoking while singing when playing with Joe Coffee a few years ago. Never saw anyone do that.

Vanilla Gorilla - 8-25-2010 at 11:35 AM

My step brother use to use skoal and copenhagen snuff, i tried it got light headed and threw up. Ha stuff was nasty

JawnDiablo - 8-25-2010 at 11:47 AM

I do however enjoy a cigar here and there......

I actually had a good cigar for the first time last year on my birthday, my friend took me to a cigar bar, i don't remember what type of cigar it was but it was good and no one could even tell i had a cigar after, somehow there was no smell, unlike the other ones i thought were good in the past.

my grandmother died of lung cancer when I was 7 after being a life long smoker...
never touched em
it amazes me how many young cute girls I see smoking here in NOLA, but then again this places lives like there is no tomorrow
i wonder if they know something I don't

clevohardcore - 8-25-2010 at 02:02 PM

I don't. I tried when I was like 12 or so, but I really hated the smell and the dizzy headache you get when you first try. It was like your body is saying "NO, DONT DO THAT"

you nailed it. Especially the part about 120's for selfish broads that talk a lot. Today in 3 weeks cig free, really don't plan on going back, but I hope to enjoy a cigar every once in a while.

BKT - 8-25-2010 at 04:25 PM

Never have and never will. Its fucking gross.

BKT.

MattyA - 8-25-2010 at 04:37 PM

Parents still smoke, my clothes use to smell all the time. People thought I did smoke, took my forever to get the smell out of my clothes when I moved out. Although I do smoke a cigar every now and then.

necrobutcher - 8-25-2010 at 06:34 PM

Quit last Halloween. I have had a few fuck ups but nothing too bad. Now I just have the periodic cigar.

Spoiler - 8-25-2010 at 07:04 PM

I've never smoked cigs.

I do like a fine cigar from time to time though.

Thorp had some great cigars awhile back,he may still have some left if anyone is interested.

spyderdog - 8-25-2010 at 07:24 PM

ive been smoking 20 years, so im pretty sure im already gonna die a miserable death from it

I really wanted to get one or 2 of them when they were avail, but my dilema is, i live is a pretty small place and i know my lady would not be digging me smoking in the apartment.

Furly - 8-29-2010 at 12:58 PM

I picked the blank option. I quit over a year ago, but will still have a smoke once or twice a month when I'm out drinking. I hate the smell of my cloths in the AM, and I honestly think that's why I've stayed quit. If I just jumped right back in I don't think the smell would bother me as much since I would just smoke another butt.

Jason the Magnificent - 8-29-2010 at 04:41 PM

Hmm, $5 a pack for something that does nothing...glad I quit when they were like $12 a carton. Stinks to high hell. Smoke a reefer and at least get your stone on. Cigs just make you and everyone around you smell like weird secret government mind control chemicals.

that's always been my biggest argument for quitting. Try almost $6 a pack for a drug that doesn't get you high, makes you short of breath, weeze, smell bad, & causes cancer. But fuck, does it go well with a drink/meal/driving/walking/working/everything. Almost 4 weeks without one, I don't really want another. In this period I've had two bad dreams where I caught myself puffing on a cig...

Jason the Magnificent - 8-30-2010 at 06:16 AM

Yeah $5 a pack is bare bones. In the city they're between 7-12$ with all the Chicago taxes.

rollinpinmim - 8-31-2010 at 09:58 PM

You think $6 is expensive? My friends here in NY who smoke spend almost $10 for just one pack of cigarettes. The price alone should make them want to quit.

talked to some dude at a liquor store in LA a few years ago who said he paid $12 a pack at home in NYC. That's rediculous
