Smoker? Non?

See, we are the opposite. Boyfriend is a non smoker, never has, never will. But it doesnt bother him that I do

Ex-smoker!! from 16-25

I was a "social smoker" though. Started in high school with friends on the hill. As I got older it was only when around people who were smoking or in the bars. I was never addicted to it so i guess I was pretty dumb for doing it so long.

I've never actually smoked tobacco in any form.

I plead the 5th for other stuff......

My Man smokes and it really is smelly and I worry for his health. He's developed this lovely cough, and although he is only supposed to smoke outside, he brings the smell in with him and I really hate it.

My mother was a 2 pack a day smoker when I was a kid, and I was sick all the time. I'm also actually, really allergic to cigarette smoke, so for a lot of reasons I think people need to think twice and then again before lighting up in around other people....or when they will be near other people in the near future.....or when their clothes will be washed by other people.....

Or if other people love them and don't want to watch them die a terrible agonizing death, like my best friend watched her husband and Dom die of lung cancer, over a 3 year period. He died just a few months ago. Both the man and his wife and his son (and everyone who loved him) went through hell with this lung cancer. And, it all could have been prevented. Sad. And stupid to have happened. He was one of those "never sick a day in my life" types. Until the lung cancer got him in his mid 50s. He went from about 240 lbs down to 130 lbs while he was sick. He literally looked like a living skeleton. The chemo was HELL, and even after that, he didn't eat for several months as he was dying. Every bite of food was forcefully puked up, because he had developed a tumor on his stomach as the cancer metastasized. It hit all his internal organs, even morphine and Oxycodone, plus fentanyl couldn't touch the pain in the last year. It took a LONG time for him to die. It eventually hit his brain, but the coughing and puking blood was the worst. His family had to watch every minute of it. So awful, because it didn't have to happen. He left behind a young widow, who is now broke and will probably lose her house, a young son and a mound of debt. They couldn't even afford to bury him, had to have a direct cremation. His smoking did nothing but create pain and waste.

I know it's hard to quit. But, it's just so awful for the smoker. And the people around the smoker.

I dont smoke.

My mom smokes, my sis and her bf smokes. My Papaw died of Lung cancer-doc told him to stop smoking, he did not. I also have asthma , so that wouldn't end too well LOL.

I might as well smoke tho - I am around it whenever I go to my sisters house - actually, all the people I know I think smokes... SO Im getting 2nd hand anyways... Aye yi yi.

I'm not, but my partner is and I don't mind it. I'm well aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke, but I love the way he smells after a cigarette. It's oddly calming and makes me want to cuddle up to him.

Good luck, Venus. My Man was able to quit with the newer drug (whose name escapes me now) until his mother, for some reason upset that he quit (she's been smoking since she was 12 and doesn't care) started telling him lies about the drug he was on, he stopped taking it and started smoking again.

I hope you succeed this time.

Honestly, if I could give the cigs, I wouldn't mind my drinking or pot smoking! lol

Cigs are a daily habit for me that are so expensive and I know they will truly kill me one day. Drinking can be much worse, don't get me wrong, but for me, I don't drink that often or smoke pot that often. It's occasional, so if I could give up cigs it would be much healthier for me overall.

I don't smoke, the wife does. Drives me nuts with the ashtrays, smoke and money wasted on smoking.
