I've had cigarettes on maybe half a dozen different occasions throughout the years. If somebody offered me one right now I'd consider it. But luckily never got into it.

One to two cigs a year.

Never smoked a filtered cigarette, but have smoked tobacco along with other stuff.

Nope.  Never tried.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It occurs to me that smart people would not be inclined to pick up the dirty habit.

I smoked for around 19 years, probably averaged about half a pack a day over that time, maybe more.  I quit just over 3 years ago.  The last couple of years I smoked I absolutely hated it and quit for multiple months at least 3 times.  The last one finally took.  I do occasionally think a smoke sounds good but never anywhere near actually doing it again.

What's fun that isn't?

Only a handful in a typical year and so far none in '11, so never formed the habit.

Like the esteemed Admiral Yi, I smoke Winstons.  :smoke:

Started around 15 off and on, started buying packs around 16-17, really got going around 18-19, and it's been a "No Bull" life for me ever since...   :sleep:

Never touched the cig, nor the marijuana, nor anything you can smoke, except for some cigars when I was younger.  Seeing my friends using pot discouraged me from being like them.  Seeing my father smoke discouraged me from being like him.  Running naked in the street is not for me.  Coughing my lungs at 5:00 am every morning is not for me either.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Disgustingly vile habit!  :mad:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.
