I tried cigarettes in highschool because all my friends picked up smoking. SOOOOOOO glad I stayed away from that. They're all hooked and I have fresh breath. It's so nice. My dad tries to quit every year. Then he starts chewing on these little cigars. Then he lights one and says "well it's better than a cigarette" and before we know it he's back on the marlboro's.

Sounds like my dad...chews Nic gum; suck nic losenges; tokes stogies; takes zyban AND then has the nerve to chew, suck, toke and swallow all at the same time! I know... sounds kinda kinky, but the only thing left is to learn to spit!

I dont smoke, my husband does. I really HATE it. He's not allowed to smoke in the house now though, so he stands leaning half-way out the front door. Iowa winters are cold, but he doesnt complain too much, he knows my breathing can be weird at times so he respects my request. I really hope he quits, maybe when our Visa Journey is over, he's too stressed right now.

Or maybe when we're in England in April. We'll be staying with my parents and they are totally against smoking and he'll not be smoking anywhere near the house there, so that might help.

It is funny to see soembody in London say they will quit once they get to a place where ciggs are so much cheaper.

I don`t smoke but my wife does. I might start once i am in America and it will be cheaper.

No kidding. I don't know what the prices are in London, but in Western Canada they're $6-9.50 for a pack. Down in Texas they're $1.50 to $4.25 per pack. I looked at the last time they raised the cigarette tax in Texas. It was 1991. They seem to raise it on an almost yearly basis here. They thought about raising the tax rate on it last year in Texas, but the right wing government said it would be too hard on the poor if they did (now that's strange to hear).

Oddly enough, Houston is one of the warmest cities in the USA....Smoking is allowed inside restaurants.

Vancouver is not crazy cold, but chilly enough in the winter time, and everybody goes outside.

I used to smoke. For 20 years. Had a few brief smoke-free periods in there but didn't really put them down until last August. Nani and I decided that we'll work on our first baby towards the end of last year and I put the smokes down a few months prior. Just don't want my kids to grow up amongst smokers as I did.

No, never, icky... cigarette smoke is the foulest substance on earth and I can't imagine ever wanting to put it into my lungs even if I wasn't allergic to it!

Wow, I cant believe that someone could smoke 40 or 60 smokes a day. That is alot.

How can a person smoke so much if they are working.

We both smoke here. I smoke maybe 6 a day, Roger smokes about 20 a day.

I hate the smell of smoke first thing in the morning too. That just gags me and I am a smoker since 8th grade. I am now 42. Thats alot of smoking.

I have never smoked but hubby does.... both his brothers smoke, his dad smokes and his aunt smokes .... He usually only smokes at work but sometimes if we are with his family on the weekends he will sneak in a cig or two

I really want him to quit.... I can't stand the smell of smoke and I get headaches from the smell too....

I smoked for two years in high school, and quit nearly 12 years ago.

Good thing I did too, becuase my fiance can't stand cigarette smoke.

I don't smoke...never have, and I guess it's a good thing since I have asthma. My babe smokes, but he's not a heavy smoker and he smokes outside. He says he wants to quit and I'm behind him. Either way, I'll love him forever

I don't smoke. Of course I've tried and all.... at parties and stuff but I never needed a cigarett and have never owned a pack or a lighter

Dave started smoking when he came to Brazil because my mom smokes and it was just easy for him to have her cigarettes.... But then he stopped over a year ago and doesn't plan on starting again!
