Do you smoke?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Cigars, but not since May because it's too damn hot outside.

[Gustaf]

I never smoked tobacco.

[Sbane]

To those who clearly misunderstood my point here - I don't personally give a sh**t what people do on their own, or to themselves, or their lungs.  My point was that it is extremely rude to do it around other people who don't smoke.  The increased risk of cancer is one thing; having my hair and clothes smell like a dumpster due to somebody else's habit is just unacceptable.  Would you like it if I spat all over you at a party, and then got all affronted when asked to stop?

I can see why you would have strong feelings on this..you do live in Las Vegas. I must say I find all the smoking in the casinos to be very annoying and inconsiderate of other people. I think smoking can be something social, obviously so in the case of weed but it can be with cigarettes as well. Just take it outside.

Rude people are going to do rude things whether they smoke or don't. Making generalizations beyond that doesn't do any good.

[Modernity has failed us]

Weed daily and hookah every couple months.

That's a hardcore way to live.

[TeePee4Prez]

Quit.

Question for those in this thread - opinion of e-cigarettes? Dorky and healthy or a scam?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

No, and cigarette smoking should be banned in all public venues.

[Donerail]

No, and cigarette smoking should be banned in all public venues.

Yes, this.

The amazing thing is the smokers who aren't generally rude people, and yet don't even realize their behavior is antisocial, or worse, dont even care.  I don't get the cognitive dissonance of these people.

[Alcon]

I don't really get cigarette smoking.  I totally get trying marijuana, but I don't get what would attract someone to trying cigarettes in the first place.  I'm not trying to project my own feelings here, it's just hard to imagine someone saying "hey, that looks like fun, and the possibility of addiction is worth it."

[dead0man]

It's a mild stimulant and you look cool.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

No, and I absolutely hate being around it.

[Alcon]

"Mild stimulant" isn't really that impressive of a pedigree, is all I'm saying.  But it does look pretty awesome

Never tried them, but everyone I know who has tried them says they're a pretty good alternative to regular cigarettes.

I'm rather torn on this issue. Why not just have designated smoking areas in most public venues? That'd seem like a good alternative.

[Platypus]

If i'm not smoking whilst your breastfeeding, or drinking whilst driving on the same highway as you, or shoiting up at the local kfc while you're waiting for the loo... It doesn't really matter as long as I'm happy with my choices. Kindasorta. Because if I get cirrhodis or hiv or lung cancer, you have to pay for my treatment. A bit of it, anyway. Which doesn't really matter, because you get a lifetime of feeling morally superior to me.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Don't smoke tobacco products youngins.

[Modernity has failed us]

Don't smoke tobacco products youngins.

Smoke weed instead?

[fezzyfestoon]

Quite the opposite, my friend.

If you can deal with the legal realities, I'd much rather see somebody smoke pot than cigarettes. Nicotine is a much more addictive and deadly drug.

[Beet]

I haven't smoked in 4 years but have nothing against smoking.

[they don't love you like i love you]

And I really can not think of a single good reason to smoke tobacco. Like seriously, none. If I had to experiment with some drugs, I would seriously rather do heroin or meth, at least those give you some cool side effects. Tobacco is the most pointless thing ever to use.

And suddenly your "accidental gay date" thread makes a lot more sense.
