I tried it in a bar years ago because my flatmates at the time smoked, I inhaled some smoke blew it out, declared "this is easy, i feel nothing, whats the big deal guise?" Got told I was doing it wrong and to "inhale deep into my lungs" so I did that, and 15 minutes of watery eyed spluttering and later I decided smoking wasent for me :'(

In high school a couple of buddies got some cigars which we tried to smoke, an experience I'm not ready to repeat.

Tried smoking many cigarettes in a row with friends when I was about 10 years old, I turned green and got sick. Tried again a few years later... nothing. Never got addicted thank god.

Once in a while I smoke when I am wasted and a friend happens to be doing it, never even think about it sober though.

When I say wasted though, I mean I usually don't remember smoking the cig and only hear about it the next day. Guess that doesn't count.

I did back in college, probably smoked "regularly" (few a day for a few months) and just stopped / never felt like I needed more.

I experimented with a bunch of craps, never found anything to be addicting. Which lead me to believe that addiction happens to weak minded people.

Obama and his liberal infested agenda are why they are so addictive. 10 years ago tighter regulation was enforced but earmarked bills slipped in by liberals and their lobbyist cheerleaders. Now with his atrocious immigration and foreign policies we have communist cigars flooding our streets. Tobacco is going to be easier for kids to get their hands on starting yet another generation of cancer patients which will need trillions in funds to support their Healthcare costs. And guess who's going to foot the bill? You guessed it, the hard working conservative tax payer, and the liberals will once again destroy America from within.

pretty much the same for me. I smoked pretty regularly in college for a year then. Only did it when roommate and friends went for a smoke so I joined them. I never initiated it. When I switched colleges after first year and weren't with people that smoked I just stopped. Didn't even need them and realized a few months later I still had some packs I bought but never used. Just gave them to some hobo.

I experimented in high school but never got hooked. Anybody else?

The longer you do it the harder it is to quit. I started smoking when I was in my teens and was up to more than half a pack a day by my early 20s but then I quit cold turkey one day.

Are you by any chance a writer on the Glenn Beck comedy show?

No, I've never had the slightest desire to smoke. My parents smoked like chimneys when I was a kid (I'm 47 now), and it used to make me physically ill especially in the car - there's not much worse than riding for hours in a car with two chain smokers and the windows up. Even now I get a headache just smelling it on people's clothes. I'm a libertarian at heart and I'm disgusted at all the sin taxes being levied and the continuing banning of smoking, but deep inside I'm glad it's no longer permissible in public for personal reasons.

I have and still occasionally smoke various types of cigars and cigarillos. With proper cigars, I only rarely inhale fully and mostly keep it in the mouth. Otherwise, I inhale a lot.

And I've smoked cigarettes when drunk when a buddy smokes, as he is also a "smoke when drunk" type. I find nicotine pleasing. Very pleasing.

I had used snus for maybe four or five years, migrating from American dip to the first types of snus available at retail, to importing really good and very strong Swedish snus. I really enjoyed that. I didn't want to use it all my life and wanted to eventually stop, but dammit it was very enjoyable and it was never in my head that "I need to stop now, today."
I did take the opportunity to quit completely, throwing away maybe a roll and a half or so of snus that I had just recently imported, when I had my wisdom teeth taken out a couple years back. I didn't want to screw up the healing, and I figured, well since I have to "quit" for a week or so, might as well quit forever. Aside from wanting to enjoy nicotine from time to time, it was never a challenge, in fact, it was too easy.

As much as I have an addictive personality, I never felt that I was hopelessly addicted. And I stated at first, I continue to smoke Black and Milds or real cigars from time to time (and had before I started oral tobacco), and not once feel a need to light up constantly. It's that occasional, feel good thing, not a required input that I need all the time.

My use rate is perhaps once a month on average, quite often longer with perhaps a few times in some months.

My wife and I smoke socially. Maybe 1-2 cigarettes a week, typically on a Friday/Saturday night if I'm drinking with buddies. A single pack between the two of us lasts about a month. Never really progressed beyond that and I don't crave it during the week.

I didn't find smoking cocaine to be addictive at all. Being expensive and slightly difficult to procure was part of it, but mostly it was meh.

Smoking marijuana was somewhat addicting in the sense that it became a habit, but wasn't too hard to break over a few weeks. I was happy when I knew I had a fat sack at home and a sad/irritable when I didn't.

Tobacco was very addictive. Being able to get it so easily didn't help. Cigarettes are nasty but it still took years to quit. I chewed the gum and fortunately my jaw started to hurt so I was able to quit that to.

Dear diary, retards smoking is retarded.

I used to only smoke at bars since it goes so well with scotch. The smoking ban in LA when I was there was a good thing since it meant I really didnt have to smoke anymore so I kept some for post coital denouement.

Now I only smoke cigars once in a blue moon.

I've smoked, drank, taken various illicit drugs, and been prescribed OxyContin (for a shoulder surgery I had in college). I have never been addicted to anything. I might drink a couple beers one day a week.

At the campus bars. Beer in one hand, cigarette in the other. But after that, no. I'll smoke maybe 2 cigars a year these days. That's it.
