Do you smoke?

[Melman Giraffe]

Just want to get an idea of how many people smoke on PH.
I smoke 20 a day and seem to be in the minority!

[AlexKP]

I smoke cigars and mini-cigars. Not cigarettes.

Does that skew your poll?

[funkyol]

You've missed off of the list:

'social / occasionally" i.e. only sometimes when out for some beers - which is me

[DamoLLb]

Ex-smoker.

Never looked backed. Richer, healthier, happier.

Then you smoke less than 10

I used to smoke 30 per day until 6 weeks ago on Monday when I found the E-cig and I have not had one since but jesus do I miss it.

I gave up because it caused me some checst pain and at 40 I didnt want to take the chance.

Hmm, I do qual research and a poll like this with no differentiation between someone who smokes say 5 a day (not me), and once a month if that (me) doesn't really work...

[Schmeeky]

Gave up on Xmas Day, and am much better for it!

[LukeBird]

Smoke cigars every now and then.
Haven't had one in months though...

How did you stop?

Really wouldn't mind, but like smoking too much. I think you have to want to stop - and I just don't. Bah.

Have you been out on the lash since with your smoker buddies though?

Thats the only time I have a crafty one - I packed up October time after smoking a couple of rollups a day.

[ChrisJG]

Last smoked in the early hours of new years day.

easyway course

landlord tried it a few years ago and he stopped soI gave it a go

it's fully refundable if you continue to smoke and for me it paid for itself in 4 weeks

Me too, although I did have one last night.

[Carl_Spackler]

Used to be in the less than 10 category for 15years, but just couldn't stop, bought a e-cig in the middle of January and haven't had one since.

Although because of the e-cig everyone around me still has me branded as a smoker, despite me explaining to them on a regular basis it isn't smoking.

Yes, lots, and it's never been a problem. Staying inside where it's nice and warm is nice as well!

[Morningside]

I think you should have added 'Ex smoker' to your poll.

[Don]

I smoke a fine cigar once a decade. With a few cognacs, preferably.

That's often enough.
