I smoke cigarettes and I enjoy it!

I am what is called a party smoker, meaning that I can easily go several days or weeks without smoking, e.g. I don't bother to go the 24/7 gas station to buy them when I run out.

But when I'm with somebody who smoke, I smoke too, so I usually buy a packet of cigarettes depending of what I'll be doing and whom I'll be with.

E.g. when I visit my brother or we go out for lunch together, or I go to his summer house, I buy a 10 piece package, and if I'm going to a party in the evening, usually starting with a good dinner, I buy a 20 piece package. And when I know I'll be out the whole night to a party, I buy 2 packets with 20 in each, as I know they'll be smoked before morning...

And sometimes when I plan a nice dinner here at home, or at certain occasions I buy a package and then I smoke until the packet is empty. I can easily smoke 10 - 15 cigarettes during the night, specially if I'm working on my computer!

But again, I don't smoke at work, first, I'll have to go outside and second, I don't bother, as I can easily wait till I get home.

In periods where I smoke a lot, I smoke about 70 - 80 cigarettes per week. And then I usually take a break not smoking for days...

AND.....

Cigars are rolled upon the thigh of a dusky maiden, all the more reason to enjoy....


Hey I can go along with that!

standing up to get counted: I smoke between 15 and 20 ciggies daily and pay my taxes for them.

Did you know that (okay, in Germany - but it won't be otherwise in US or Canada or anywhere else) the production of one cigarette including wages costs about half a cent (it has been less than one pfennig when it was DM-times)? A 17piece pack of cigarettes are mostly sold here for €3,40 (including 19% vat), giving the retailer just 10 cent as a promotion
Given the fact that the production costs are half a cent, it makes 8 cent to produce this pack, and €3,32 for taxes and a minor win. That's a conspiracy!

Do Cigars count? If so I have one about once a month or so. When we play cards we always take a smoke/bathroom break about half way thru.

All inhaled smoldering plant matter counts.



Whoa! hold yer horses me hearty. One might inhale fags, one DOESN'T inhale cigars, one puffs at them....

No No. Thats when you work down coal mines. I'm never going to defend smoking because its indefensible....

I get my fixes comparitively cheap...


I don't think we should enquire further!!!!

I smoke about 4-5 a day, may be more at weekends, and I'm still trying to cut down. It's the only real vice I've got. I like a good drink on the right occasion but never to excess (had me moments though... Shhh).

Smokers that is! Stand up and be counted. (if you can without having a coughing fit)

I smoke and pay ridiculously high taxes to do so. I have no guilt. If you smoke then say so and stop hiding in the dark alleys!
