Do you smoke?

[MissMischief]

No.

Smoking is a good way of shaving years off your life and introducing a whole host of serious long-term health problems.

[HELLBANIAN]

The smoke of cannabis even worse - and the brain loss.

There is no brain loss, it just numbs your brain cells unlike alcohol which kills them.

Never understood the anti marijuana people around here. It makes me calm, focused, eat, sleep and if you make ointments out of it or oils it can even be used for your skin etc. And even works for people with epilepsy, cancer etc. By far beats tobacco which has no benefits other than making your dick shrink, your skin yellow, your throat messed up etc.

Also regular industry hemp can be used to make clothes and build houses. It's a great plant. I don't give a shit if people call me drug addict because of it because I'm not. I just see it's benefits as I'm interested in health. And I wish I can move to a country where it's legal and start cultivating it. I most likely wouldn't be here then. It makes me function better.

Each to their own.

I quit smoking a while back. Best decision, I've ever taken !

[Benyzero]

Not anymore. I light a cigarette sometime but once a day or so only since three months now.

[Tannhauser]

Last March was my fifth anniversary (years) of quitting smoking

[Dušan]

No, for some reason smoking never attracted me. Maybe I smoked 2-3 cigarettes in my entire life, and I didn't like it.
My vices are coffee and alcohol.

[Jana]

Not anymore. I light a cigarette sometime but once a day or so only since three months now.

Same here. I practically quit this summer, and it's good I did.

[calxpal]

I don't

No, I do not smoke :

How much our happiness depends upon our spirits, and these again upon our state of health, may be seen by comparing the influence which the same external circumstances or events have upon us when we are well and strong with the effects which they have when we are depressed and troubled with ill-health. It is not what things are objectively and in themselves, but what they are for us, in our way of looking at them, that makes us happy or the reverse. As Epictetus says, Men are not influenced by things, but by their thoughts about things. And, in general, nine-tenths of our happiness depends upon health alone. With health, everything is a source of pleasure; without it, nothing else, whatever it may be, is enjoyable; even the other personal blessings,—a great mind, a happy temperament—are degraded and dwarfed for want of it. So it is really with good reason that, when two people meet, the first thing they do is to inquire after each other's health, and to express the hope that it is good; for good health is by far the most important element in human happiness. It follows from all this that the greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness, whatever it may be, for gain, advancement, learning or fame, let alone, then, for fleeting sensual pleasures. Everything else should rather be postponed to it. --Arthur Schopenhauer

Smoking's great, I miss it. I smoke an occasional cigar now if I can afford it and find a place to smoke it...

I quite smoking regularly twenty years ago or so, when I found that I felt horrible after a Army PT run--I could barely pass our PT test runs. After I quit, it was significantly better. But still, I miss it, but only good cigarettes (Luck Strike filters, Camel unfiltered, and I'll have them socially if someone else has them...)
