How many cigarettes do you smoke per day?

[Zelig]

Back to twenty. Anticipating the hell of a new New resolution.

I hate new years' resolutions.

The first week or two of January is the only time I take off from lifting throughout the year, because I can't stand the crowds at the gyms.

 

[Farm Boy]

Eh, any mental tool. I'm only slightly overstating. It's remarkably nasty. It's not like there is a crowd to fight.

If you didn't smoke as a late teen in the 90s, you were nobody

Well, i suppose i mostly started to smoke cause some other loner/bookreading people around me did. But i hated them as well, so i mostly smoked cause i associated it with being in a place i was not.

As for alcohol: don't drink (haven't for 14 years or something). Never drunk much either. I liked the rare glass of liquer or cognac at newyear's day

Hey i didnt smoke when i was a teen in the 90s and i was not a nobody!... wait... i was! So you are right after all...

Back then i tried to smoke and to drink many times as everybody else around did but it was quite a suffering for me. I found both tobacco and alcohol taste and effects extremely disgusting. It seems my body is good at self-defense and rejects any unhealthy habit. So i continued being a nobody, but a very healthy one at least.

Smoked what?

Shhh, ociffer, don't ask, man!

Don't smoke. Even if I felt inclined to pay this country's 80%+ vice tax, my lungs are made of tissue paper so I'd probably drop dead even more prematurely than the average smoker.

Ironically, the state makes money out of poisoning those whom it is supposed to protect.

I used to smoke about a pack every day (much more in a party) but I quit in June 2006 thanks to Leha, a poster in this forum. He once talked about how he quit smoking after reading Allen Carr, a guy I never heard about before. I 've bought the book the same day and quit with no pain at all after reading the book.

I read the synopsis of his views on wikipedia.
Meh.... seems very simplified and one-dimensional. On the other hand - there also is probably a lot of truth to it. And it definitely seems like a helpful attitude. Maybe I buy it for my farther. Since I'll stop next year anyway (mostly)

Smoked what?

cigarettes. I come from an area of the country where tobacco is grown. I'd usually only smoke when I was with friends.

 

[Mise]

I've heard a lot of good things about the Allen Carr book from various people IRL. I bought it for a friend once but I'm pretty sure she never opened it.

I've never smoked. I sometimes wonder whether my parents having smoked has something to do with me having somewhat weak lungs. Dad was a 4 pack a day man for a few decades. Had his last cig less than a week before he died.

Second-hand smoke. Yes, it can sometimes have a profoundly detrimental effect on the nonsmokers around them. In my opinion, it should be illegal to smoke in the presence of children.

Little late for that to do me any good now.

I don't smoke. I prefer to kill myself in other ways, like with unhealthy food.

I really regret the day when I start smoking. Really bad decision.

I surely have couple of vices but I do enjoy them. I may be wrong but I think I would find it intolerable to do something I really regret....

I understand this. And it took me far too long to actually succeed in stopping the habit. And I don't regret stopping definitively. It really improved life for me considerably.

As a smoker, I couldn't go two hours without hankering after my next cigarette (assuming I was awake). It ruined a lot of things for me.

It's very pleasant to just get on with life without forever wondering where the nearest tobacconist is. And it's a lot cheaper.

It is, I cannot agree more with you.

I'm smoking for a very long time. I cannot imagine how can I enjoy a good movie without my cigarette, enjoy a good part of my reading without cigarette, writing crucial part of my paper without cigarette, or viewing stunning scenery without burning my cigarette. It seems there will be something missing and incomplete without it.

However this thread is one of many things in these recent days that motivated me to try to do all of those things without my cigarette, one of it is I caught high fever from Wednesday.

This day I only smoke 4 cigarette, yesterday only 1, I really hope I can entirely stop smoking, we will see if I have enough will God willing I can stop. Btw thanks for the thread and poll, the image that I'm the only one who smoke more than 20 cigar a day makes me feel really pathetic, and that's really motivate me.

 

[Kyriakos]

^I am sure there are many others in the general area who smoke more than 20 a day...

Besides, americans are nerds. Don't count their vote

 

[Antilogic]

None, I prefer the bottle and fried food.

 

[Takhisis]

There is other food?

1-2. The rest of my nicotine is derived from e-cig. Someday it may be 0 everyday and I'll just vape instead of smoke, but for now I do rather enjoy that rare Camel.

What kind of e-cig do you use?

I tried to use an e-cig once and it was just a crappy little cigarette-shaped thing. The battery wouldn't last me a day and I had to buy lots of cartridges and it just generally sucked.

About 8 months ago I got a nice big itazte MVP 2 battery with Pro Tank 2 tanks/cartridges and it's a huge difference between it and the old one I used. I now rarely smoke cigarettes (mostly special occasions) and am pretty much on the e-cig full time. I quite enjoy it and I feel much better than I did when I was smoking heavily.

I've been thinking about building a dripper mod but that gets rather costly and time consuming. Even still, the difference in pleasure between a good dripper mod and what I use is almost the same as the difference between what I use now and the old crappy e-cig I once owned.

 

[H4run]

I bought e-cigs and it makes me cough each time I smoke it, it hurts my throat too. I wonder if I use it wrong, if only it's not affected my throat badly I will use it for alternative. And it also have a bad effect on my chest, I think the liquid that they gave me contain high nicotine.

used to smoke cigarettes, but i have not smoked one in 370 days now........I went to vaping.

Probably, i use 16% nicotine, anything higher than that is pretty harsh.

 

[Smellincoffee]

I have tried cigarettes a time or two, but the point of it is UTTERLY beyond me. I don't feel any different, and I constantly have to bother with it.

Whiskey, on the other hand...
