Are you a smoker?

Not currently. Yes I did smoke.

Loved it in fact.

Quit for my health but still sneak one once in a blue moon (2 or 3 times a year).

Me, too, except I like 44-48 rings and nothing bigger than a 50.

Sorry. I have a rule against taking advice from people who know nothing about me.

Such L-O-N-G, thin fingers you have~~~and nary a callous in site!

Thats pretty much understandable... I have a rule about taking advice from people who know little or nothing about a given subject too.

Never smoked, never will. I can't even walk by a smoker without getting a headache and feeling sick (and they're not even lit up at the time). I wonder if they know how bad they smell? Or what are they trying to cover up?

I've been trying to quit for years. Crossing my fingers and hoping these new FDA labels coming out will do the trick -

No, but I tried it as a teenager.

I smoked for awhile when I was younger, but decided one day I just didn't like them. I spent the next 20 years watching my dad live at the end of an oxygen line until he died gasping for air, so there's little chance I'll start back.

Smoked when I was a teenager, you know- I was cool man. In the navy as long as we were 50 miles off the coast a carton of cigs were $2.50. I don't think you could get a pack for that today, another reason not to smoke.

Only secondhand.

I have never smoked but can relate to your comment. I grew up in a tiny house and my parents both smoked like chimneys. We three kids were trapped in there through the long winters, saturating in the stuff, and at school other kids told me "you stink" and that I smelled like an ashtray or a cigarette butt and was making them sick. A teacher accused me of smoking. I didn't notice the smell when I lived at home, but as soon as I was out on my own I found I could hardly enter my parent's house for the stench.

Later I bought that house and discovered that washing the dark beige woodwork turned it bright white.

My mom is going through that now. She might have another year or two.

no. i've never smoked in my life. i do like the smell of a good cigar though. ~Georgia.

At the time that I quit smoking, I had been a smoker for half of my life. I started when I was 15 and quit when I was 30. After watching my momma die from lung cancer, I decided that is not the way I want to go. Massive heart attack, car crash, killed by gunfire, anything fast would be a much better option.

Raised a country boy, and will die a country boy.

I was a smoker for about 35 years off and on, mostly on. I still put an ashtray on the table for visitors that smoke and some use it some don't.
