[News] Do you smoke?

[Bozza]

The smoking rate in England has fallen, with just 16.9% of the population now a smoker, the lowest on record.

How typical is NSC. Do you smoke?

The last cigarette I smoked was on the Day Danny Cullip scored against Chesterfield at Withdean to win the championship in 2001.

There needs to be a 3rd option Only when really drunk and 4th Only weed ....neither of which I'd say yes to

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I vape

 

[Withdean11]

No. Never have, never will. Smoking is my pet hate.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Where's the option for smoke,watch (now and again) brown's boys and leave the EU.....well that's me

 

[Worthingite]

I smoke, but I also have one of those vape stick things. I keep thinking about giving up, but my will power is virtually zero. Plus my work life is pretty stressful at the moment.

 

[Gabbafella]

Gave up about 4yrs ago. Smoked for 22yrs, woke up one morning and decided I didn't fancy it any longer, threw them in the bin and gave up. Didn't need patches or e-cig or anything, found it really easy.
Feel healthier for it and save plenty of cash so it's win win. Plus I don't stink like a tramp anymore.

A little black and white on the poll. I don't consider myself a smoker bit when drunk I may have the odd one (haven't done for 3 weeks or so) and will smoke the odd joint or 2 (once a month or so)

Am I a smoker? I don't know.. I said no in the poll

 

[Whoislloydy]

Does this include those bellends that "vape"

Yes you are a smoker,a smoker smokes and a non smoker does not.

 

[albionfan37]

You're in denial - you're a (dirty) smoker.

I would imagine vape-rs are considered non-smokers in terms of the 16.9%.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I used to smoke 20-30 a day. A chest infection in 2006 put paid to that, though I did used to have the occasional one when having a drink up until 2009 time when I got married.

There's no non-smoker like an ex-smoker though and I can't even stand the smell of it now.

 

[Napper]

Vape not smoke.

Isnt bad for you

Im sure this "vaping" fad is making people more addicted to smoking. I know people that have never smoked but now "vape" and i know people that have quit smoking but spend all day puffing on a vape that they are actually taking in more nicotine than if they just had a cigarette. Im sure once the fad dies out most will take up smoking cigarettes again.

Annoying for anyone within about 100 feet of vaper however.

Very true within a few years of me giving up I could barely tolerate playing tonsil tennis with a girl who smoked. I stopped way back in 1988 and haven't touched one since. It was a New Year resolution that finally kicked in at the end of January as I gradually whittled down the numbers I smoked throughout the day to get my mind used to not having a quick fag during work breaks. You know you're successful when you are able to refuse one despite mates trying to force one in your mouth when paralytic. All done with will power as patches, gum and vapes did not exist back then.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Nope, never appealed to me.

Had plenty of mates who did at school/college but I couldn't see any logical reason to do it; cost them a fortune, had a lovely aroma and the whole cancer thing as well...
