How long have you been smoking and how often? Do you still enjoy it? 7 years, overall it kinda sucks but I still get a kick out of it every now and then.
I've been smoking since I was a teen. I love it. The discrimination in this forum against smokers is weird. I keep it to myself and am respectful not to smoke around others.
The discrimination against smokers implies them not being respectful around others, which way too many smokers simply are. At least this is my guessI've been smoking since I was a teen. I love it.

Most are terrible about considering the non-smokers around them or that people may have breathing problems, and the smell lingers if they smoke all the time. I can't be around one of my mom's friends because I can't breathe when she's in the room, it's that bad. Alot of the people at my work also smoke, and whenever I pass by the smoke break area I have to hold my breath or I start coughing like crazy for a few minutes.I've been smoking since I was a teen.

I've been smoking for 5 years, from age 16 to age 21, and even back then I knew it was a stupid thing to do. It accomplishes nothing and costs just way too much money.
Smoked for 18 years and then gave up, haven't had a single one since then which is coming up on 4 years and I still miss it.
Main reason I gave up was money, I was smoking between 20 - 40 a day at the end so was spending close to £400 a month just on something that's was essentially killing me.
God damn though do I miss a coffee and a smoke in the morning.
You might not, but millions do.I've been smoking since I was a teen. I love it. The discrimination in this forum against smokers is weird. I keep it to myself and am respectful not to smoke around others.
Been smoking long enough to see the price here go from $5 a packet to $25. This is the year I've finally decided I actually want to quit.
good for you.. Price is an issue.. if it hadn't been for this:
I would not smoke anymore.. the taxes on cigarettes have gone up and up and up.. but somehow filters, tobacco and machine have not changed as much.
I am also lucky that I have friends who fly a lot, so they buy me cheap (tax free) cigarettes.
Could someone tell me why they smoke on a regular basis, exactly?
I've tried smoking some time ago but the gag-inducing taste and the dehydration isn't worth the extremely short energy boost you get. The act of smoking itself feels a bit relaxing, but the horrible taste, the dehydration, the ashes... It's really not worth it.
A kick out of smoking? What kind of kick? It gives you nothing. Not a god damn thing. Not even a buzz. I have been addicted to that shit for decades and i can't say how happy i am that i finally quit (some years ago now). It's as addictive as heroin but it gives you nothing. At least drugs give you something.How long have you been smoking and how often? Do you still enjoy it? 7 years, overall it kinda sucks but I still get a kick out of it every now and then.
Yeah I roll my own. Tobacco went from $10 for a 50gm pouch to, I shit you not, $70AUD. And a few years ago they introduced a duty free limit of "one unopened packet of 25 cigarettes, or 25gm tobacco, and one open packet."
Because they're addicted. It's one of those things that really has no actual benefits until you are addicted to it and then they have the ability to calm you, make you feel a bit better. I smoked from my mid teens to early twenties before I gave up, smoking is probably my only regret in life, it's a disgusting habit and a complete waste of money imo. If other people want to smoke that's fine, just keep it away from me, nothing worse than walking down the street or waiting at a crossing having to breathe in someone's second hand smoke.
And that how cigarettes fool so many people. It's never calming you or making you feel better. It's actually constantly making you stressed out because of the addiction. Having a cigarette only calms you because it's giving you some short-lived release from that constant addiction. It's a vicious loop.
shit man totally off topic but you have the DOPEST avatar man.Few years. Been trying to quit lately but somehow I've jumped up to around 20 a day :(
