I like the way cigs taste and the smell doesn't usually offend me.

Smokers themselves can be obnoxious. Nonsmokers can be obnoxious too. I smoke sometimes but I'm not obnoxious about it.

On and off for four years up until this June, but even at my most habitual (senior year of college), it was no more than like five cigarettes a day. When I started, I smoked Benson & Hedges Ultra Light 100 Menthols (!), because, uh, that's what my girlfriend smoked. Then I switched to Parliament Lights; they seemed like a solid brand without being as ubiquitous (and thus lame) as Camel or Marlboro. Also, I always had a soft spot for Parliaments, even before I started smoking, since I read they were Christina Ricci's brand of choice. After that, I smoked American Spirit Lights, happy to support the independent tobacco companies until someone told me that Philip Morris owned them, too. Whatever. I gave up because I was having weird heartbeat problems, and I wanted to play it safe (I also gave up caffeine). Ultimately, not that big of a deal -- it was never a huge part of my life. But man, there are definitely times I'd like one. Even if it's just to take a break and go outside with someone. I love smoke-break conversations.

I quit two years ago, but I'm still all in favour of it, and still like it, so I pinch one off friends now and then. I really enjoy those cigarettes, and I am feeling HUGELY stressed right now (house purchase problems) and feel tempted to buy my first pack since 2001.

I dont understand how one can get thru 3 pax a day with a job. COuld you smoke on the job? Did you take smokos every half an hour?

I smoked a lot when I was a cook at a really gross restaurant. I felt like a big badass stirring the vat of spinach-and-artichoke crud with my arm while smoking a cigarette with my non-dipped hand. Also see: smoking while playing pool and smoking while changing a tire.

20 a day weekends/fridays, about 5 otherwise unless i'm out (rare except the kino).

Smoking during sex is great too, although it renders powerless the expression, "There's smoke comin' outta ya now, baby!"

thee only thing smellier than a smoker's car (w/r/.t whoever mentioined this upthread) is a dog-owners car.

I don't smoke, but occasionally am tempted to buy a lump ov h4sh, and stick it up my bum*

I've never smoked regularly ever, but once that 2nd or 3rd beverage settles in me belly, Nick sheds the secret identity to become Captain BumASmoke. If you bum me an American Spirit I'll be your best friend for life.

I'm a little (okay, A LOT) ashamed of this, but earlier this summer I attempted to start smoking cigs semi-regularly because I wanted to raspy-ize my singing voice. I think it may have worked...only now, if I want to hold a note out for more than like 5 measures, I'm fucked.

Day 29 of no-smoke new world.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

Good going Mr Mann - keep with it.

Hey ho. Right now I'm all over rollups of the Drum Light variety, with rolled rizla card filters, of which I smoke 5 a day normally, though this shoots through the stratosphere on nights out and weekends. I walk the path of the tramp for various corpor-ideological reasons, among them the fact that the smoke lasts longer (so theoretically I smoke less), they’re less convenient to smoke (so theoretically I smoke less), and they rip a hole in my throat of I over indulge (so theoretically I smoke less). I got well into menthol filters a month or so back but realised that they made smoking too easy so I junked them again. I do mix it up with straights every now and then, and go for Gauloises Blondes Reds first, or Lucky Lights and at a push Silk Sluts but I only do straights for like a week before reverting back to the finger-stainers. I want to give up badly but I seem to only be able to manage two months and then my brain starts pulling all sorts of dirty tricks on me, convincing me that I’ve beaten the habit; "so have a cigarette to celebrate" it whispers like a fucko. The best bit is that I always listen.

Alex K (Alex K), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 15:16 (twenty years ago) link

i smoke about 1/2 to 2/3 of a pack a day. if i'm drunk, i'm capable of smoking a pack and a half in a night. i smoke camel lights, but my all-time favorite is chesterfield lights which are unavailalbe in nyc. i've smoked for about 10 years, and i stopped once for six weeks. it was going really well, then my friend died and that was the end of it.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 15:18 (twenty years ago) link

also i've been smoking on and off since i was 12 (!) which makes it 13 years now (!!). i have quit, but never for very long. (no longer than six months for sure.)

haha jess stop being me already.

Allyzay, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

Labia, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:17 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah I do that too.

And yeah, I think they are right about the mouth thing, my mouth has been hurting lately.

Allyzay, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:25 (twenty years ago) link

I smoke about 1/2 a pack a day of Kentucky's Best. It's a brand put out by a farmer's coop that's just north of where I live. No chemicals, good smoke, supports local farmers and not tobacco conglomerates, and only $1.79 a pack!

I tried to quit for the first time a couple of months ago, because my then-girlfriend was quitting. It was an act of solidarity that ultimately lead to us breaking up. The tipping point was the severe crankiness.

I like smoking, but imagine I'll stop when I move away from Kentucky into an area where it's not socially mandatory.

Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:29 (twenty years ago) link

I used to smoke about 20 a day & more at the w/e's. I quit about 4 or 5 years ago though which i am so grateful for now. I do miss it still though occassionally. J used to smoke which never used to bother me, but he has been given up for 11 months now.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

packs in the US are only 20, right? in Canada, they're 25. That's right. TwentyFIVE!
Hardcore.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:31 (twenty years ago) link

a pack? do you mean carton?

Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:34 (twenty years ago) link

20 cigs to a pack, I mean

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:35 (twenty years ago) link

i had my first smoke after Reagan was shot. the whole family was crowded around the television. i snuck out back and fired up one of my monms Benson and hedges. i love to smoke. i quit sometimes for a few months or so. i do not smoke in bed or around other people. whick means i basically smoke in trees and in my house
if you want to get to know me, it helps if you are a smoker (this has been told to me before, but i think its a big lie)

kephm, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:41 (twenty years ago) link

I used to have a reputation for getting people who had quit smoking to start up again, because I enjoyed it so much and I looked so fucking cool.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

I remember when I was living at home (about 16) & there was a big argument in my house & i went in the garden and had a sneaky ciggie.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

i remember when I had a lit cigarette in my mouth and I inhaled, and then I felt really good.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:44 (twenty years ago) link

Stop it now!

I saw an infomercial selling a software to quit smoking. It was quite ingenious, somesort of a schedule to gradually increase the time between each cigarettes til one quits. Anyone know the name of this thing? Smoking kills too much! A software like this have to be available under a GNU General Public License

Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:52 (twenty years ago) link

could you please fuck off to one of those threads you just linked. k, thnx.

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 16:55 (twenty years ago) link

I said what had to say: smoking is a turn off. thank you and good bye.

i want to quit. i'm ready to quit.

Unless you're smoking a cigarette as you read, you've quit! You're not smoking, therefore you are no longer a smoker. All you have to do is not buy any cigarettes and not smoke any cigarettes.

I have faith in you.

nine months pass...

So I've been curious about these "fire-safe" cigarettes which are going to replace the normal ones in 2011. Do they really taste any different?

ten months pass...

GODDAMN I miss smoking. Yeah, it was a filthy habit, and I was lucky to be able to quit without angst, and it was a part of clubs where these days I can't smoke, but....

Popular Beat Combo Platter (j.lu), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 03:58 (thirteen years ago) link

Unless I drink, I can only smoke two a day: one before work and one in the early evening, after dinner and wine. Boy, I love those two fags.

Heez, Sunday, 14 April 2024 11:50 (two weeks ago) link

don't know how people can maintain this kind of iron discipline one-cig-a-day regime. When I'm fiending for nicotine it's impossible to concentrate on anything, my vision goes all fucked up and I become extremely heightened and irritable. I feel like quitting vaping now. I bought some 25mg nicotine patches, but am struggling to get myself in a serious and intentful fucking off nicotine altogether frame of mind.

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Sunday, 14 April 2024 12:02 (two weeks ago) link

Until 2013 I smoked two a day, with the morning cigarette the only one not dependent on booze. I vowed to cut it the moment I got a cold -- which I promptly did a week later.

I smoked two last night because I drank and smoked a bit of pot.

the talented mr pimply (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 14 April 2024 12:11 (two weeks ago) link

I had a one cigarette a day phase last year, but it doesn't really count because I was additionally vaping.

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Sunday, 14 April 2024 12:18 (two weeks ago) link

the ability to be able to enjoy one glass of wine or maybe a bit more, but a moderate and sensible snifter of booze, one cigarette - then savour the moment until you do it again the next day. I'll never have it.

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Sunday, 14 April 2024 12:29 (two weeks ago) link

do you do this daily?

the talented mr pimply (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 14 April 2024 12:42 (two weeks ago) link

ugh sorry for being edgy

Colonel Poo, Sunday, 14 April 2024 12:47 (two weeks ago) link

xp

I wish I could, but I tend to finish off a bottle of wine if I open it and vape quite heavily throughout the day. But I have managed to possess the discipline to not drink until after 8 pm. That's a slight improvement.
