Smoker?

I do not smoke indoors, period.
I do this for the sake of my birds and my fiance' above all else.
Yes, it is also for the sake of the cats and dog, but birds have one of the most delicate respiratory systems there are.
I do not use chemicals in the house, or non-stick cookware for the same reason.
After smoking, I will not touch the animals until after my hands are thoroughly scrubbed, as nicotine can be easily absorbed through the skin.
I started smoking when I was 11, I quit briefly when I was 22 (I'm approaching 37 now), my weight ballooned to just over 200 pounds on my 5 foot 2 inch frame.
I figured at that time it was better to take up smoking until I could find a good way to combat the oral fixation.
I think in my case, a combination of hypnosis and the patch would work.

Non-smoker and always will be after seeing both Grandpas suffer from lung cancer and emphysema!
Grandma died of lung cancer, dad's first wife almost died at about the same time but managed to survive, if she is a bit frail now. Both were heavy smokers.
I never wanted to smoke anyway, made my parents quit when I was 5. I'm not sure if I have a particularly strong olfactory sense or something, but just a wiff makes me gag.

Never touched one, never will. Cant stand the smell of them, dont want the health problems. One of my friends used to smoke and she quit by everytime she smoked one she would do something nasty or something she did not enjoy. (I think she drank a teaspoon of vinegar or something.) She said she started associating the ciggs with the vinegar and eventully they started to taste like it. I have no clue if it would work for other people, all I know is that is what she did.
yes, good point!! when i drove from california to oklahoma, i didnt smoke because my cats were in the car with me. i think i had three the entire trip and they were outside at rest area's...
we always smoke outback or in the garage.
I'm an ex smoker. I really only smoked because I worked in a very stressful bar and everyone else was smoking. Our manager actually let us smoke while we worked so I was like "Hell yeah!!!"
I gave up smoking a year and a half ago and took up working out. BIG difference!!!
I highly reccommend it!!!
...forgot to add----I will have the occasional few when I've had a few brews
Just the opposite here, dh has been smoking about 20 years, and "trying to quit" since we met (13 yrs ago!). And I try not to nag. If I thought it would help him quit, I would nag like crazy! But I know it won't, so I just try to be supportive most of the time.
Not me, I don't smoke. Hubby, Joe, does. We tried to get him to quit a week ago and he turned into Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde. Needless to say, he bought a pack of cigarettes. I'm hoping he tries again, though.
Not a smoker. When I was little I was always horribly sick and went to the doctors. I found out I was allergic to smoke. Both me and my mom get sick when we are around it.
im a smoker and so is my husband.ive tried to quit a few times,but as charlie was still smoking i gave it up as a bad job.
i noticed when i was quitting my sense of smell came back,which was nice for flowers n perfume,but u go into a shop and yuck some ppl just dont do personal hygene big yuck.

Smoker here.. Almost ashamed to admit it
.
Although I never smoke in the house because of the kids and kitties.
People often ask me why I don't quit and I always answer with the same thing "Because I want my children to live"
I have two boys 3 1/2 and 7 1/2 and believe me, If I didn't smoke, I would lose it!

my bf smokes and I can taste it but it's not bad. It's his choice.
Never have done and never will do. I was always so worried about my dad who was a smoker when I was growing up and would tell him about the health problems and how it would be better if he stopped. I'm so happy that he gave up
