Is it like "Good job me, you got laid! Have a reward for making it through that!" or something?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

More like rewarding yourself for doing it well, assuming you think you did.

I smoke. Mayfair, Marlboro, Camel, Winstons. Any of those would be fine. I only smoke at most five a day, and some days not even that many. It's mostly on the weekends that I tend to hit five a day. With that small of a habit, it's not too expensive, and I really don't care about the health threat.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I tried it a few years back, but that's about it. About half of my friends smoke and I guess I don't mind the smell, which isn't really a good thing, but I could be doing worse things. Though, I really like the smell of unlit ciggarettes.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ah this thread again. Currently I am still smoking. Mostly Marb Reds, Skydancer Menthols (Native American brand around here cause of all the reservations) and Djarum Blacks if I have a lot of money. Trying to quit though.

That's right! I was trying to remember who else around here was a clove junkie. SUP.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Haha yes cloves are a pretty good reward :P

Do you smoke?

How do you feel about smokers? How do you feel about them smoking in your presence?

No I don't smoke or drink.

I have no ill or good feelings towards smokers. We can say I have a neutral feeling about them. I treat them the way I would treat any other person. They are all aware of the health risks at which they place themselves in when they smoke - the buttom line being is smoking can be relaxing for them.

Smoking in my presence has one problem. My lungs can get really screwed up when I'm around them too long. It starts to hurt and I end up coughing like a mad man. This is why I don't smoke/drink/smoke pot, etc because my body really cannot handle that stuff. There are some who will not smoke in my presence and they are some who assume I don't mind. Either way I will deal with it because I will not be around them 24/7.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm a smoker. When I first started it was Camel filters all the way. It's been about 4 years since I started smoking, and theres been many phases. After Camel filters it was: Marb Mediums, Marb Milds (the only menthol I ever really liked), Daves, Daves lights, and now Camel Lights. My smoking habbits have got much 'better' of the years. I'm down to about a pack a week, and only when I drink. I normally end up smoking a half a pack Friday night, and the other half on Saturday night.

Packs are about $5.00 on average here in Washington. The tax here is semi-high, but that isn't even the bad part. As of about a month ago, there is NO smoking indoors anywhere in Seattle. Considering I only smoke when I drink now this really sucks because you can't even drink at bars anymore, you have to finish your drink and walk outside (25 feet from any public door, open or not) just to smoke. Yet I still do it...

The smell and cure of oral fixation is just too comforting for me to give them up completely.

I've been in the process of quitting for about oh...6 months now, following rehabilitation for my passed meth addiction. I don't like smoking but it has had a bit of a hold on my nerves. On a trip, I easily went through 12 packs a day. On sober days, about 2 packs a day. With hard work, I'm now down to one cigarette every 2 or 3 days. Brand & Make of choice: Marlboro 27's. It's been a day since my last smoke. I'm going for it, this time.

Yesterday, I was craving so badly that I bought a pack, lit one, then threw the rest of the pack away. I'm trying to quit just as badly as I need a drag. I figure that if I keep wasting five dollars for every one cigarette, I'll get the picture.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I don't smoke b/c of the smell. For me if I start smelling a lot of the smoke I start to feel a little bit nauseated and light headed. I have many friends and family members who smoke but I have no problem with them. I just don't like the smell of smoke. Plain and simple.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I have been smoking since I was 15... I started on Mar. Reds because that's all my friends and I love smoking those ever since. My poison of choice, is the Red 100's.

I'm not really into any of those fancy flavor ones like the 27's or the Camel Twisted Flavor ones. Maybe its just me, but when i smoke those, i feel like I'm barely inhaling any of the smoke compared to smoking just regular smokes.

I have tried quiting way too many times and I have come to the conclusion that I won't be able to quit, but I have cut down from a few packs a week to maybe a pack a month. Not a bad drop if I do say so myself.

You smoked 12 packs a day??!! How do you even have enough time to smoke that many cigarettes in a day? That's 240 smokes, so you would have to smoke 10 an hour or 1 ever 6 minutes for a FULL 24 hours. I don't know how fast you can suck them down, but it takes me 3-5 minutes to smoke a cigarette. How much did that cost you?

FELIPE NO

Nah, I don't smoke, but I have plenty of family who have the common huff and puff there, but nothing addicting. My aunt, on the other hand, is a common smoker and now shes beginning to have lung cancer. Oops, her fault.

I can't stand the taste or the smell of the cloves... i mean, i like the taste at 1st but the after taste is killer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Crystal Meth. Speed. Tweak. Made. Me. Do. Things. Fast. And. Mindlessly. I never counted but it was probably more like one a minute for a couple of hours, then I'd fall asleep. Cost me $60 every other day on Cigarettes plus the $60 every other day for speed. I had a really good job at a casino I ended up losing because of the mood swings and coma-like sleeping binges.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ive smoked for 3 years now, and never really minded being around it. i smoke about a hald a pack a day, basic lights. If i really want to treat myself (and im not broke), ill buy a pack of salem black labels. basics are 2.70 a pack here, the salems a little over 4 bucks a pack.

I do have a question though, what exactly do clove cigs taste like? Seem to be pretty popular around here, and im up for trying anything. Any suggestions to brand? price? flavor (if aplicable)?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, if it's helping you kick the meth addiction I'd say go ahead and smoke. You can always quit later, when you're better.

How ya doing, buddy?

I appreciate your support. I don't tell too many people irl why I have the smoking habit. Appearing to be a faddist smoker is the better of two evils, I guess. I'm going to have one now, actually. *logs out*
