    Default Cig Smokers (and others), why do you smoke?

    Why do you smoke? What turns you to it? Why do you say you want to stop, but can't? What is it about the cigs that attracts you? Do some of you feel cool? Do you like your breath?

    Serious questions. Serious business.

    Ok, I have never smoked, but when you say taste, kinda like clean pussy or orange sherbert from the V?

    Many people don't brush or chew gum, rather they rinse with spit and think it helps.

    not that kind of taste, its not something i can describe to a fruit or something.

    Its just the way your lungs feel, and the buzz you get. Its like one big giant WOOOOOO SAAAAAAAWWWWW

    It's probably one of the greatest feelings next to getting good head after a great meal....it's not something one can describe in any specific way other than a relaxing habit...

    Eh. I don't even remember why I started smoking however, I'd love to quit.

    I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do that, but I did it to my dad. When he got sick I begged him to stop smoking. He would leave the room and I would put out cigs, toss the packs in the trash, and hide the lighters. Not only do thye stink, but they are bad for you.

    As your GF did, he would get another pack.

    I used to smoke cigs, and at that time there was no better feeling than the one you'd get after lighting one up after a great meal. And after you smoke a blunt. And after sex.

    You won't understand how good it feels unless you have smoked it before and have been addicted to it. so its pointless to try and explain it to you.

    Its extremely hard to quit after you have been smoking for some time, but it can be done since i dont smoke anymore.

    Wow, sounds pretty passionate. I always wanted to try, but my dad smoked his whole life after the age of 17. He went to the Air Force right out of highschool. Even as I got older he deterred me from them.

    Is there a point when the relaxation feeling becomes numb and you are jsut smoking to smoke?

    If you don't smoke now, don't start....I started out as a once in a blue moon kind of smoker and evolved into a full fledged smoker with homicidal tendencies if I don't get my nicotine...and yes, there are times when you smoke just to smoke...I do usually when I'm at home watching tv or messing around online....and I generally smoke more if I've been drinking.

    True, I mostly smoke out of boredom. Like right now I haven't had a cig to smoke in about 3 days, but I just started wanting one because I read this thread, and because I'm bored out my god damn mind. No TV (I don't like to watch tv, there is rarely anything good on before 8pm), no computer (my boot/start up files are corrupted and hp didn't send me a vista cd so i could repair the motherfuckers so now i'm stuck downloading vista hoping i can boot from a jump drive to repair the shit, on my backup laptop, lulz), nothing to fuckin do.....i feel like smoking a cig.

    I used to only smoke when I drank, I loved the taste of beer and cigarettes. They just accent each other like buckets of awesome.

    But mostly... I just smoke out of boredom.

    I can't stand the smell, my eyes burn, and I cough till no end. My desire to try cigs, weed, snort coke, etc has long been gone. The drugy phase that lots of people tiptoe in, I avoided.

    Seriously though, if I could find a way to quit smoking that would minimize the withdrawal feelings then I'd be all for it....That cold turkey shit won't work for me...Been there, failed miserably.

    gum, chew a piece while smoking and gum will take on some of the nicotine. and just start easing yourself off of them from there.
