How often do you smoke cigarettes/illegal substances?

[ringmastery]

Have you done so in the past? How did you quit?

[Fovea]

1. I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.

Right up to the day I had a stroke and two heart attacks. Quit cold turkey.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

2. i smoke cigs off and on

usually when i am working on a project. normally i will smoke about 10 cigarettes a week.

as for illegal substances, i try to smoke them daily. i just ran out and mr. man has left town so, i won't be somking much anytime soon i beleive.

if only it was possible for me to freely grow plants in my yard. stupid stupid laws.

i usually smoke the illegal substances through a water bong, so it is atleast filtered a tad.

3. cigs-2packs a day. Illegal-1 cuban monte christo a week

[wysimdnwyg]

4. Used to smoke a pack a day

Quit about four years ago. Best thing I ever did was to quit smoking. Also the hardest thing I ever did.

I got the flu in January of 2000 and quit. In May, I got rear-ended in my new truck and started smoking again. Two weeks later, I got the flu again. Haven't smoked since.

5. Clean as a whistle, now.

Nothing legal or illegal has entered my lungs for at least 8 years.

I quit cigs slowly, by moving to a pipe. The pipe became such a pain in the ass that there was no instant gratification, and eventually I discovered that I really didn't like breathing in smoke, so I just stopped.

All other substances, smoked, drank, or otherwise ingested, went out the door when I first had kids. I figured that they deserved a sober dad, something I never had.

15. right on, good for you

good loving parents are a blessing, my family/upbringing was riddled with alcoholism, so I know! I do think pot should be de-criminalized however.

17. Absolutely

The idea of people doing prison time over smoking pot, dealing pot, and especially paraphenalia, is about the dumbest thing of which I can think.

Prison should be for people who are a danger to society.

How many dangerous potheads do YOU know? lol

[Droopy]

6. I smoke a pack a day on average

I've tried to quit several times with no success. It's a damnable habit that is almost impossible to get rid of.

[rock]

7. 1/2 pack a day

I love it and don't want to quit.

[RebelOne]

11. I hear that.

For me, it would be easier to quit eating than smoking.

[tjwash]

13. keep on trying...

...I quit three times, the first for 6 months, again for 8 months, and now I have been smober for 5 years now. The big problem is after about six months or so, you tend to think you have it beaten, and can have just one cig to relieve stress. Does not work that way.

The hell with the patch, the gum, or all of that other crap they try to give you to keep you addicted to the nicotine, do it cold turkey. You'll thank yourself later....

[Bertha Venation]

8. Never, never, and never.

:shrug:

[RebelOne]

9. Cigarettes only.

1-1/2 packs a day.

[BiggJawn]

10. Never. Not for over a year now.

3-17-03 was my quit date. I started a thread about it earlier this week.
I was a pack-and-a-half a day smoker.

No "weed". Makes me puke.

[Burma Jones]

12. Used to do both

Quit Cigs when I had my appendix out and had the benefit of being in the hospital for three days.

Quit doob pretty much the same time 'cause doob made me want to smoke cigs.

[silverlib]

14. I quite Monday at 2 p.m.

And I am in a O)#@( bad mood. I sent the teenager away for Spring Break so she wouldn't have to suffer. I was up to 2 1/2 packs day minimum, associated with working at a computer from home.

I'm on patches, illegal Internet obtained Prozac, peppermint candy and sugar free gum.

I have an "Out (of Patience)" sign hanging on my door.

[abracadabra]

16. NADA--used to smoke both- but now it doesn't make sense

Tammy Faye--just found out yesterday--in-operable LUNG Cancer--
Just think--
Just for choosing corporate packaged machine rolled temporary relief for life's minor stress you could end up

ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OUT OF YOUR MIND

when the doc gives the bad news--

Talk about uncomfortable stress then !!
Too late then.

It's EZ 2 QUIT-
if I can do it anyone can--
I just decided--put my foot down--took a stand--
thinking about priorities helps-- deciding to care for my body and my loved ones inspired me to stay off the smoke-

Feels SO much better after the lungs start to recover--energy up too-
only takes about a week then you're over the hump!


PRESTO- Abracadabra--
done deal

do it for us-
-we'll need all smokers around when the shit hits the fan
and military law is in effect--
we'll need every last one of us to be alive to fight back!!!

18. I smoke illegal substances everyday

But only natural stuff that grows from the ground and I don't mean opium.

[UnAmericanJoe]

19. Won't touch disgusting cigarettes

But I smoke mj semi-daily.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Wouldn't they both be disgusting then?

I can't see how cigarettes can be disgusting and yet pot not.. This has always bothered me. :shrug:

[UnAmericanJoe]

21. They put a lot more in cigarettes than just tobacco.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Anything which puts harmful smoke in one's lungs is disgusting.

They are both basically the same. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

:hi:

[UnAmericanJoe]

26. Anything which puts harmful smoke in ones lungs is UNHEALTHY

Not necessarily disgusting.
Disgusting is clearly a judgment call.

And they are not both basically the same. They have completely different chemical make ups.

Unhealthy for your lungs? Almost certainly.
Donuts are unhealthy for my figure but that surely doesn't make them disgusting.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. No but donuts don't make your clothes smell disgusting either.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Spin it however, they are the same thing. :shrug:

[UnAmericanJoe]

34. When did the smell become the issue?

Who is the one doing the spinning?

My point is that something being disgusting is clearly subjective. You think all kinds of smoke are, I do not...

aww fuck it. I'm gonna go get high.
:evilgrin:

[DrWeird]

22. Because tobacco stinks.

Pot smells good.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. It stinks to me. Turns my stomache as a matter of fact. They are

both equally disgusting. :shrug: It's smoke in lungs.

[DrWeird]

28. "It's smoke in lungs."

So is incense. You never burn that?

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. No, but if I did I wouldn't be sucking on the stick.

Oh gosh that sounds like a double entendre, doesn't it? ;)

[MAlibdem]

23. cigar once a month or so...

...liquor is illegal for me...once or twice a week in excess (binge)

weed every once in a while, but i think im not gonna do it anymore, it really fucks me up...for days

[MrSlayer]

30. Pack and a half of Marlboro and 3 bong hits a day.

I like smoke.

[President_G_W_Bush]

31. I prefer to watch other people smoking

[gyopsy]

32. Don't smoke

Not ever never ever. :scared:

[Jade Fox]

33. Not nearly as often as I'd like to.

:smoke:
