What percentage of you all smoke cig's?

There is a thread about a guy quitting smoking (cigarettes). It seems as though a lot of you smoke cigarettes. I was just wondering if you could all let me know if you do or not. I am just curious. Just so you know, I do not smoke cigarettes, unless I am really drunk of course, but rarely even then.

I've never smoked a cigarette. Smoking is bad for you.

i smoked for about 3 years only like 5-10 a day, nothing huge like a lot of guys on here but still tough to quit

i've been "clean" for 2.5 months or so

I can count on one hand the number of cigarettes I have smoked in my life.

Never smoked a cigarette; I was smart and went straight for the patch.

Having lived around Cigarette chain smokers, I couldn't stand the smell of them. So in my latter years of seeking a College education I had to try one while at the bar when my cigar was nubbed. My first impression was how could any one smoke something so foul and put it out. Never tried one again.

I smoked part of one in high school. Never again.

**LeojVS** · 03-13-2007, 02:28 AM

I tried to smoke one when I didnt have any cigars left.

Never again

I haven't smoked 'ettes since primary school (when I was about 12... maybe 25 years ago). Even then it was probably only about a pack in total.

Though I have been smoking a few cigarillos recently, so a few people at work now think I smoke 'ettes.

Same for me but only quit in July '06. Slipped a couple of times since then, but only minor ones.

Thanks for the info, i thought maybe people were more likely to smoke cigars if they previously or currently smoked cigarettes but it does not seem that way. Of myself and my cigar smoking friends only one of six was previously a sreious cigarette smoker.

As for me, I was smoking about a pack a day when I quit on New Years Eve '98. I think it's the only resolution I've managed to stick with.

**Loudpipes78** · 03-13-2007, 10:09 AM

Usually only when I'm really drunk and have no cigars left.

I had one last night at the Predator's game... EW!!!! I can say so far in 2007 I've had a total of 2 and both wanted to make me not do it again for a while.

I'm in the same boat as drew, I can count them on one hand.

Reminds me of a time when I was 14-15. I grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone, and kids could still go to the store and buy tobacco "for the parents". All of my friends were dipping Skoal at the time, and so I decided to try it out. I went out on the back patio and put a pinch in, almost instantly, I became sick. About an hour later my dad came home and peeped in at me laying across my bed, in my ill state, I did hide the can too well. He saw it and put 2+2 together. Only thing he said "You better get better soon, your'e going to finish that can tonight before you throw it away". He's a great dad, I only realized this in the last 10 or so years.

Back on topic, I smoked for 8-9 years, half to three quarters packs per day. About 3 months ago, I was too lazy to walk 30 feet inside the store where I was fueling up and buy a pack, quit right then.
