Before this gets off the ground, I don't intend this thread to have a "holier than thou" feel to it from anyone who doesn't smoke, I don't condone smoking, but I don't intend on reprimanding anybody for it either, I'm just curious.

I personally have never smoked a cigarette mostly due to my father smoking an obscene amount growing up, and hearing him complaining about how much they cost steered me away from smoking more than any amount of health issues I ever heard, I figured I'd have more money financing my video game addiction if I didn't have another habit to support.

I do however smoke a cigar every new year or so. I started that when I was about 20 (I'm as old as dirt by the way) and have probably smoked about a dozen or so cigars in my lifetime (Not all of them on New Year's). I'm in no way addicted to cigars, I do however actually like the taste of certain ones, therefore I see no harm in treating myself to one every so often no different then I'll treat myself to a Large Oreo Blizzard from Dairy Queen with about the same regularity.

I have no issues with a healthy debate on the issue, I just don't want anyone throwing insults at one another over this, because I know people have very strong feelings on this subject.

That being said, who here's a smoker?

I am not a smoker. I have never smoked, but my entire family smokes. I am not going to throw myself upon health risk, as my entire family has, but even I did try it, I probably wouldn't like it.

I don't smoke, first of all, I have an asthma, just a mild one though, so cigarette smoking is a big no for me. Second, I just don't wanna try, lol.

I'm going to have to close this, mostly because there is an existing topic about it at https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=370 and the last post in it is only a month old.
On the plus side this means that you can post in there as well to get another post and some Viz, and you'll get about 20 Viz from my post now.
