Do You Smoke?

[DennyCrane]

Edibles only for me.

Unfortunately edibles are hard to come by in Missouri, being illegal and all.

Denny Crane has resources.

 

[FINFAN]

nope

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Hey now, I never actually said "pot." I said "other plant matter." You drew that conclusion on your own!

Could be cloves for all you know (wink wink).

Or salvia, I suppose.

 

[Kitty 34]

I smoked for about 10 years but quit over 20 some years ago.

Sounds like it's time for a trip to Disneyland... If you know what I mean

 

[mnrose]

Never smoked a cigarette in my life. 58 years old.

Denver is closer, and you don't have to have a card.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

No and I've never had any interest in any of it.

My grandparents chain smoked for years and years and years. My grandfather, who passed in 2009, did have emphsema. Both were also alcoholics. My grandmother is still alive though.

One of my sister-in-laws smokes. One of my best friend smokes though she's much more considerate of other people around her and the impact smoking has on them than my sister-in-law.

I've know friends that smoked and did other things (heroin, salvia, etc). My one and only rule was don't ask me to do what you are doing.

Not any more. I was a kid/preteen when I smoked. Thanks dad for passing that lovely thing on to your kids. I distinctly remember my brothers hiding cigarettes they got from our dad (they were probably 11 and 13 and I was 10) under a brick in their windowsill and then when mom was off doing errands we would all take turns puffing it. My grandpa had his first battle with smoking related cancer around the time I was 13 and that scared me enough to never touch another cigarette, cigarillo or cigar. My brothers on the other hand went on to inherit the chain smoking. I did smoke 1 cigarillo with friend on a cross country car trip my freshman year of college but nothing since then.

Now other stuff nope. Tried it twice and both times got very ill so said never again. I have a few friends who do it for medical reasons but still have never done it again since those first two times were not pleasant experiences.

Remember California legalized rec use in the last election. No more med cards required.

 

[tvguy]

No. My dad died 50 years ago when I was 9 from lung cancer. He smoked. My mom smoked, but quit 30 years ago, and died of lung cancer 4 years ago.
Given what we have known about smoking for years and years , I have a tough time understanding how anyone under the age of about 80 would even consider starting smoking.

 

[Magpie]

I've never smoked, and neither has my husband.

My mom smoked, so I grew up perfectly comfortable with the smell. Back then, she seemed very elegant in the way she did it, blowing the smoke right up her nose. But the second time she was in hospital getting a tumor removed (I was in middle school at the time), a doctor came upon her having a smoke and lost it. Gave my mum a blast of it, saying, "Why should I even BOTHER treating you, if you're just going to throw it all away?" It made an impression on my mum. It took her about a year to quit, but she did it.

That was back in the 80's. She's now in her seventies, and still going strong.

My husband's mother and father weren't so lucky. They both smoked, well into the 90's, and they've both now died of lung cancer.

My son has messed around a bit with vaping, but he's wise enough not to do it in front of me or his father. Our daughter doesn't even drink, so I would be honestly shocked if she ever took up smoking. It's really not her thing.

 

[JaneBanks]

My husband and I quit smoking cigarettes 5 years ago this month! I smoked the other stuff in my 20s but I started getting panic attacks out of the blue from smoking it so I quit that as well. My husband on the other hand...

 

[dish rag]

I don't smoke tobacco, but I do smoke a different kind of plant.

Nah, I'm a little smarter than that.

I've never smoked and I don't understand why people still start either. My MIL finally gave up smoking after she had lung cancer surgery when she was 80 years old. I have seen first hand how hard it is for people to quit, my DH smoked for many years but quit when I told him no way would I date a smoker. I drive patients to appointments for the Cancer Society, and several of them obviously still smoke. It's sad to me.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Nope, never. Thankfully no one among my family and friends has for decades either (if they did at all).

I remember my mom advising me not to date a smoker because kissing him would be like licking an ashtray (yuck!).

It makes me sad to see younger people smoking, especially teens.

 

[Minnesota!]

Quit 1/21/2001, standing outside MCO after a fantastic trip to Disney.

I had been smoking since about age 13, maybe a little earlier. Hard to remember.

 

[Klayfish]

So you've said before. Several times.

No kidding.
