Smoking Poll

This new thread about smoking http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65618
has made me curious about the smoking/ nonsmoking habits of our community.

As a reformed smoker myself, I understand the difficulties of trying to quit. Quitting was one of the hardest things I've ever done. But smokefree for 20 years, ... life is better. I encourage

nonsmokers to never try it;

reformed smokers to remember that for many of us doom is only one cig away;

smokers to do whatever necessary to break the habit and kill the cycle to the next generation.

I indicated that I currently smoke, but have to point out that my smoking is rather limited: I have three or four cigars per month at most. I tried cigarettes at two different points during childhood due to peer pressure and couldn't stand it, so I've never been a cigarette smoker.

(that last statement could be taken as false if we include the four packs of Lucky Strike secondhand smoke I got daily all through my childhood from my parents)

Well I tried it last year and thought it was rank... I don't believe there's an answer for that one

No I think that means you've smoked for less than a week, not you've smoked less than a week ago.

I put I've never smoked. There's this kid in my Spanish class that can barley breathe, and has a lung infection from it. I really don't want to ruin my life. Smoking has potential to do that.

What does "less than a week" mean in the second choice?

It means, "You tried it, but for less than a week."

I haven't, and don't plan on ever smoking, unless I'm on fire, then I might make an exception.
