I haven't smoked for 5 years now, but when i did, i was a social smoker always in the pub with a cigarette in one hand and and a glass of whisky in the other lol.

I was only smoking for about a year but i had to stop cos smoking made me feel sick all the time, as for the brands i just smoked what i could get, i didn't have ID back then so i gave money to other people to get cigarettes for me, and just had whatever they came back with.

I've been smoking since I was 16. Pretty heavily.

Favorite brand is Players, or the illegal smokes you get off the native reserves in bags of 200 for $25 bucks if you know the right people.

I'm against smoking. If someone wants to smoke, fine, but I'd prefer not around me as I'd be second-hand smoking. If any of my friends or people I loved and cared about smoked, I'd try to get them off it as well. See, it's not an urban myth that you can die from Cancer if you smoke. It's happened, and it's happened a lot. Some may be immune to that, but not everyone is that lucky.. you can get it in the later years of your life if you haven't gotten it yet.

My dad smokes and the smell of it makes me utterly sick. Not only that, but female smokers look even tackier than male smokers do, and I don't really want to embarrass myself like that... I'd be ashamed to see people I know smoking and would probably pretend not to know them until they chucked that cancerstick away.
Call it childish, but I don't need anymore health difficulties.

The smell and second hand smoking is disgusting, and death via smoking runs down both sides of my family. (Mothers' mum, fathers' brother, fathers' sister is currently dying due to smoking.)

I can't stand smoking. Lots of people at school used to smoke around the back of the PE block at break and lunch, and they'd always stink of it. No matter how much perfume or gum they chewed would stop them from stinking like fags. I don't know what brand they smoked, but it stunck worse than most brands too. My friend has a few a day - maybe one or two. But its still very bad for you, no matter how much you smoke.

My mum and step-dad both smoke. Its... sad that they need to smoke to be relaxed, or in a sociable mood. Yeah, your relaxed and sociable, but is it worth it if you know its going to kill you? Ha, my mum smokes and really shouts at me if I only joke about the idea of me smoking. I don't get it: if its THAT bad, then why do you do it in the first place?

My mums friends mum smokes more than a few packets a day, and... Well. She just looks so tiny, and ill. Smoking has pretty much taken her already - shes been in and out more times than I've had hot dinners in the last few years. She says she doesn't care, which to me is a little selfish - think of all the people you are going to leave and upset. No one wants to die by that kind of choice.

Yes I smoke and I smoke way more then I should. Right now I have cut back to 3/4 of a pack a day. Heck its better then the pack and a half I was smoking a few months ago and the 2 packs a year ago. So yes I want to say "I am a social smoker" but there I do not fit. So in turn to your second question (actually your first) Malboro Red 100s, the ultimant cowboy killer...

Well. I quit smoking at the start of this year and have been tobacco free for 7 months now.

But back when i did i used to chain smoke Marlboros(Yay cowboy killers!). Smooth shorts and Red 100s. usually back to back or a the same time.



(I feel healthier since i quit. )

I'm still young, but I will never smoke. Not only is it bad for you, but the smell is just horrible! Thankfully, no one in my family smokes because they're all against it. I don't know how people can put up with that awful smell! When someone around me smokes, I get far away as possible!

Yeah, my mum banned my dad from smoking in the house, which I'm grateful for! He smokes about tweleve a day and he always stinks! Not only that, but his teeth were brown from tar and long-term alcohol use. After he gave up alcohol, he's taken more care of his teeth, but he still needs them bleached if he wants to get rid of the yellow/browny tar crap jammed up them. Yuuuck!

Smoking is banned in a lot of places here, thankfully.

Ahhhh..... a guy after my own heart... or should a say with the same lungs as me? Either way, Yes, I smoke, bout half to 3/4 a pack a day, sometimes less, sometimes more... depends on if I'm drunk or in the process of getting there.... Marlboro 100's baby... that's flavor country... and coincidentally, my arch-nemisis in the FF realms.... damn over grown plants with bad breath...
