    Hey I hear that it's down to like 22% of people that smoke and I know we have a wide range of folks here so I was trying to get a little poll going.

    Also I don't understand why folks smoke, when I was a kid I smoked some packs but never understood what the point was I mean it's not like it gives you a buzz. Atleast dip or chew gives you a buzz.

    I smoked about half a pack a day (more on weekends) from 16-19, and then quit cold turkey because I realized it was stupid. Have had a few since then but basically haven't smoked in almost 10 years.

    I stopped on November 21st. Had a couple a few weeks ago at the bar (in Katy where they still allow smoking) and will smoke to my heart's desire this weekend in New Orleans.

    Then I'm done.

    Don't smoke cigs never have, never will. I think once you get past the 13-18 ages without ever smoking you never start, but I might be wrong

    Smoked as much as a pack a day from 16 to 24. I will buy a pack now and again and it will last me weeks.

    im approaching 39 hours of no smokes. Its not really that hard to quit once you decide and tough out the first couple of days. WHats hard though is drinking and long car drives. Im not drinking for a week or 2 just to be sure. However, Im going on a 7 hour road trip next week :eek:

    Smoked throughout the 90’s while I was in college (thanks to the need for late night study breaks) and after that as well (thanks to the need to get out of the busy office for a few minutes every few hours).

    I quit cold-turkey for Y2K. I haven’t had a puff from a cigarette since 11:59pm December 31st, 1999. And I’ve never looked back.

    That's why I'm smoking this weekend. Luckily, I have a girlfriend who will not put up with it at all.

    I've never smoked, but I used to go outside and talk with my boss while he smoked. From watching him, it seemed like a great way to meet random people.

    Smoked for even years, quit then started back up just for weekends. I smoke Fri, Sat and Sun and don't smoke during the work days. Don't get cravings either.

    I enjoy a good cigar and hookah, but I don't smoke regularly.
