Are you a smoker?

Are you a smoker? If so how much do you smoke?
I used to smoke American Spirits, and I'd smoke only at night and about 7-8 every night. If I was drinking with friends I'd smoke more.
I then switched to an electronic cig and I am still smoking it and I like it more than the traditional cigs.
I like it because it doesn't smell and there is no need for ashtrays and lighters etc Plus, I can smoke it everywhere, for example when I stayed at a hotel I 'd smoke it every night.
Now, after a year of smoking the electronic cigarette, whenever I try to smoke a traditional cigarette I can't take more than one puff, they all taste disgusting.

Traditional cigs have polymers in them (Fire Safe Cigarettes). It's a near universal norm, these days, hence the bad taste (or at least contributing to it -- it has a metallic taste and can cause headaches/nausea).

I smoke usually around 5-10 cigarettes a day (roll my own from bulk tobacco/home grown stock) since I started cutting back for financial reasons.

I've tried cigarettes and canabis. Cigarettes only give a temporary pleasure, and canabis makes me too soft.

So I don't see the point in it.

I prefer being happy all the time without needing anything.

My school bullies tried to get me hooked to it many times, but they failed in getting me addicted to it.

No, I have no filthy butt-sucking addictions.

Regrettably, yes. I've been smoking for over twenty-five years, and I burn through roughly a pack per day. Stupid, self-destructive addiction, but I keep on lighting up. [hangs head in shame]

I bought an e-cigarette kit, but I haven't given it much of a chance so far. Really should do that.

Never was and never will be. However, I could still have damage from breathing in all my stepdad's smoke. I just hate it, I try to breathe as little as possible then. It's worse when my nose is blocked, and I have no choice but to breathe through my mouth. But I'll hopefully recover when I leave home and have a place of my own full of fresh healthy air.

No. *lights up*

What I always tell people who r starting with e-cigs, is that basically the way you inhale is different from the trad. Take longer and gentler draws, and you still r blowing out a smoke like substance which in fact is just vapours, for effect. I am just saying this because many people I know don't realize that they r supposed to blow out "smoke". I have tried 3 different brands of e-cigs. One was horrendous, the other one was great but the battery started malfunctioning and now I smoke one that is called Nicotex. I dont know which one you've bought, I hope it's a good one! It takes a little bit of getting used to but I think it's worth it and actually healthier than trad cigs as it contains no chemicals.

Only cannabis on occasion which is only when my cousin is buying.

Chain smoked for many years but I quit and haven't looked back. I smoke cannabis sometimes though

not normal ciggarettes no, i did for a couple of years, then i got tired of it.

still smoke cannabis and sometimes a pibe(with pibe tobacco) when i feel in the mood.

Used to love smoking Djarum special until it got banned... T_T
I wish the ban gets lifted in the near future.
WHY FDA WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?
American Spirit menthol is good.
I used to roll my own but it gets annoying at times.
Plus ppl would give me weird looks bc not many ppl in my area roll their own.
Used to smoke a lot not so much anymore.
I just lost interest and the smell is horrible.
I still do enjoy when drinking though. They just go perfectly together.

I have tried cigarettes before, but it was just a "might as well give it a go" thing. It was never a habit.

Suspie you scored some brownie points with me, haha.

I used to smoke American Spirits, among a couple other brands like Lucky Strike. I also now have switched to e-cigs.

It tastes so much better! And here in Alaska it is very nice to be able to "smoke" inside, anywhere, during the winter. My two favorite flavors are Apple and Piña Colada.

what brand do u smoke? when I was smoking Green Smoke e-cigs, my flavour of choice was Vanilla. The brand that I am smoking these days- Nkotek, only has plain tobacco, noother flavours except for menthol and I am not into menthols.
