    How many of ye are smokers?I know its bad for your health but I enjoy a couple of cigrettes on a night out while drinking(smoking areas are a great place to pick up some fine bures:)).

    Sometimes might buy a pack of marlboro lights before I head out.So I see myself as a social smoker wouldnt get a craving or anything during the day for one so its all good.Ill put up a poll there too!

    I +1 on the 'social smoking is stupid' theory.
    Officially on paper I do not smoke. I actually cant stand smoking and hate the taste of it from someone else/from someone elses breath/lingering smell it leaves on clothes.
    But in secret I have been known to partake in the occasional one on night out, but i always try and hide it :o Its very very nice when you've got the goo!
    Never outside of that though.

    Never had one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    only the good stuff on very rare occasion, can't see the point otherwise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 361 ✭✭teddy_303


    Lovely fags!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 maddogz


    weed and cigs, bad habit but greatr sense of relief

    So I see myself as a social smoker wouldnt get a craving or anything during the day for one so its all good.

    Thats how most people become regular smokers. Myself included.

    One day you will buy a pack of cigarettes without having plans to head out for the night. Just to have them.
    Before you realise it, you will have a pack with you all the time.

    Take my advice OP.

    Nip them in the bud now. Seriously.

    Its very easy to get hooked on the bastards.

    Nope. Tried it when I was 15 and hated it so never started. Considering I have mild asthma, it was probably a wise choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Used to 'socially' but I saw so many people go from just smoking at parties to being full-time smokers, so I stopped having the occasional one. A mate told me I was on a 'slippery slope', they were becoming more and more often. Haven't had one since that day - 2 months today actually.

    Aye I do, but i think i'd be classed as a light smoker. If i have more than five a day I feel ashamed of myself so I try and keep it to that (except on a night out, then rules go out the window).

    I actually enjoy smoking, so haven't really got any desire to quit atm


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Stained Class


    Stopped buying them nearly 2 weeks ago.

    Cadged one or two since.

    Hope to break the habit for good this time.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,059 ✭✭✭Screaminmidget


    Had my first one the last night when I was out. Dont think ill ever have another one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,139 ✭✭✭-Trek-


    For 8 years I did, nearly 3 years now since I last smoked one, thank f***.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    I hate social smokers for two reasons:

    1. They don't spark up the next morning. Damn yous and your will power, and
    2. BUY YOUR OWN SMOKES! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 377 ✭✭haydar


    I used to be a social smoker until I started smoking the ones I had left over from the night before. Before i knew it i was smoking bout 10 - 15 a day. I now limit myself to 2 a day and most weekdays i dont smoke at all. Apart from the good stuff that is:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,900 ✭✭✭InTheTrees


    Pretty unsociable bunch the smokers arent they? Its the cost I expect...

    Out of the whole lot of them there's only one whos social???

    :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 982 ✭✭✭Dick Turnip


    Did for 5 years. Off them since New Years though.

    Tried giving them up before but failed. This time wasn't too hard strangely but I was just sick of them. This was the first time I actually wanted to give them up. The other times I felt I needed to but never really wanted to.

    I'm much the same very light smoker, 2 or 3 a day, stupid habits I've got into, have one before work, one on way to the bus, and one in the car..... Now bear in mind 2 or 3 go out the window when on a night out :eek::eek:

    I've no desire to quit either in all honesty, but I might take some notion.....:rolleyes:

    basically its a battery,an atomizer(to vapourise the nicotine) and a nicotine cartridge.it inhales and breaths out like smoke(except its vapour) and you still get that throat cut,i switched straight over and haven't missed the fags since no cravings nada.i can breath easier,no more coughing,no stink of smoke. i bought one for my da who was eating 40 smokes a day for nearly 40 years and he hasn't looked back.trust me once you get used to it even if you have a normal smoke it will make you sick.think they'res a thread on here with info about them.best of luck:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    Yes.

    And blah blah, I may die before my time - but so may some fat people.

    So.........Do you eat too much?

    :D Nope stopped eating in 06 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Laisurg


    I do smoke unfortunately and i hate it, a lot of that hate is from decreased athletic performance though since i've gotten back into rugby, am gradually giving up, i've also seen social smokers go to full time smokers in a short amount of time so it's never good, then again there is something to be said for the smoking area in clubs, but that's it really, everyone should just smoke weed instead :)


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I love it but think I should cut down to one pack a day..
    And social smoking is pointless. I did it myself before and the difference between being a smoker and smoking on nights out is huge. There's no nicotine relief when you're a social smoker so I don't see the point..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,332 ✭✭✭Guill


    Did smoke for 7 years, gave up last december - never looked back although i do love smoking....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Never have and never will.

    To be completely honest, it would put me off a potential partner slightly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Social smoking is a slippery slope folks. For years I detested smoking. Started having one or two when I was bananas. Now I smoke everyday. I'm 31 now and started when I was 30.

    I wouldn't say I am as addicted as most smokers as I can go a three or four days without a smoke and it wouldn't cost me a thought but then I start smoking again.

    If you don't want to become a smoker the don't smoke socially!
