      Tried about half a pack when I was 17(47 years ago), decided I hated the stuff and wouldn't do it simply to be cool and have not had one since then.
      I did do pot a few times during my college days in the 60's, but well who didn't back then?

        You should add an option for HELLL NNOO!!!!

        Smoked for 34 yrs , until my lung collapsed in '99 !

        Why do you ask ??

        If you do smoke , quit before it ruins your health . NO ... no one likes smoking , it's just your nicotine addicted brain telling that you like it !
        If you're lucky like me ... they'll Chain your azz to a hospital bed for four days w/a plastic tube hanging out of your chest and give you a little time to think it over . Or ,maybe you'll get oral cancer and they'll just chop off your lower jaw and feed you though a tube .... ( I passed on that ). Kicker for me was when the Doc said that if my lung wouldn't stay UP .... that he could make a 5 in. incision below my left shoulder blade and just go in and STAPLE my lung to my ribs to help keep it UP !! Haven't seen him since that time .... go figure !


        Any other questions ?

        This RANT brought to you by the letters WTF .

          Why isnt chew a question? Too much redneck? I only started when I moved to KC 10 yrs ago, but have cut down quite a bit in the last couple yrs. I dont chew during the day anymore. Only at night after a good buzz, and if I dont drink I dont chew.

                I've quit smoking so many times it is unreal. I am a big-time nicotine addict. I quit for about 5 years in the 1990s after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. She said, 'we have to make sure one of us is around to finish raising our sons.' they're all grown and gone and my wife has been cancer-free for many years. I started back, quit with the patches, started back, quit with nicotine gum, started back, quit using nicotine gum....etc..etc...Long story shorter, I have now been addicted to nicotine gum for many years. I have to figure out a way to get off of it because it's been driving up my blood pressure.

                as for the green stuff, have also smoked that off and on since the late 1960s.

                  What gets me garth is when we are smoking tobacco the medical community considers nicotine a poison, but when they sell us the patches or gum then nicotine is considered a "medicine." These Jackassed doctors think quitting tobacco is no more than giving up chewing gum, also since we pay so much for our tobacco they think they can charge the same for thier junk science cures (patches and gum). If we were junkies we could get methadone treatments for free!

                  TOUCHDOWN FAT BOY!

                    good point, checkers! the nicotine is at least as addictive as opioid drugs such as heroin...some studies have indicated it's even more addictive. I'm off to the gym now. I have to balance out my unhealthy addictions with at least some healthy lifestyle factors. Otherwise I'll be dead in about 3 1/2 weeks.

                          After watching my grandfather drink Thanksgiving dinner through a tube coming out of his stomach at a young age, I really never had the taste for that nasty shit.

                            Was a 2 pack (Salems) a day smoker for 25 years. Quit November 30, 1997 after getting a scare that I thought I had throat cancer. Thank God it wasn't but it convinced me to quit.

                              On Columbus day 1993 , my son who was four saw me light up a marlboro light and asked me , Daddy when are you going to quit smoking? I told him one of these days. He looked up at me and said, Cause I don't want you to die. I put the butt out and I haven't had one since !
