Smoke gets In Your Eyes.

  My son tells smokers their lungs will turn black and then they will die. I don't care if people smoke but I don't like the way it feels.

  Please don't throw your cigarettes on the ground like they don't count as garbage. After many reports of brush and grass fires along the highways this summer someone called the radio and said she got a ticket for throwing a lit cig out the window of her car. The fine in Washington state is $950.

  I didn't mean to make this sound like a lecture, just thought some would like to know how much it costs in this state.

  My husband smoked the first 8 years we were married. I hated it because he would never go anywhere I wanted to go, with the congregation because he couldn't smoke there............or to family things. But, he quit in 1971, two years before it was a disfellowshipping offense. Then he progressed fast in the congregation.................and the rest is history.

  It's funny, but I never minded the smell or the smoke. Some people are rude smokers, and I hate it when they hold their cigarette away from themselves and into my face.

  I don't care if I am in a smoking section of a restaurant or if my friends smoke. (but not in my house or in my car, please!)

  I smoked a bit as a teenager, and sometimes on car trips when we were first married. I liked it, but didn't think I should do it and be a good witness. And.........we had little kids. Who knows, I may try it again one day, just because I can!!!

  What they don't tell you is, that when you stop, your sense of smell returns with such force, that the smell of a burning cigarette makes you feel ill.

  My number 1 son smokes, and while he's away in OZ, we have been managing his business affairs. Earlier this week I had to open his brief case, and the smell of stale smoke that came out was 'orrible.

  I think ex-smokers are more anti than those who have never smoked at all, in fact they are nick-named theAnti-Smoking Taliban in the UK.

  The smell of a cigarette is very pleasant to me, but only in tiny quantities, preferably from far away! Then again, I also like the way petrol smells! I'm a weird chap

  So, I was just wondering what sort of percentage of ex's do take up smoking after they have left, or is it something that people now shy away from, regardless of having gained their new-found freedom?

  been smoking since 1983 or so. did a good job of hiding it all those years too. been out for about 9 months, and still smoking.

  i guess i dont fit into your question e-man.

  but i wonder just how many are like me? kinda makes ya wunder.

  If that's weird SYN, I'm weird too! I like the smell of cigarettes as well, although I have absolutely no interest in taking up smoking. Because I get sinusitis I find it quite soothing sometimes.

  I also like the smell of diesel trains and rain on concrete paving on a hot day!

  This sounds like the subject for a champion fluff thread!

  I have smoked on and off for the past 10 years. I smoke for a few months and then quit for a few months with the exception of when I was pregnant. As soon as I found out I would quit cold turkey and not smoke for quite awhile after the babies were born. I know I should quit......*sigh*

  Talking about smells.......the smell of cherry blend tobacco in a pipe I LOVE! Reminds me of my grandpa when I was little!

  Of all the x-dubs I know.......I am the only lucky bastard who smokes.

  I have had an addictive personality from birth......always have to have something.....a security blanket I suppose. I chewed for years as a dub.....got in trouble a couple of times (only reproved)

  Finally in 94 I decided to tell them to df me as I was still not able to cut it....they agreed. I have tried everything available to quit and failed. Someday I'll quit....or die and quit.

  Hey princess...

  Does your kid also confront fat people and tell them thier heart is gonna explode?

  My wifes nephews used to pull that shat (politically correct word for poopy caca dutie) on adults when they were little. My payback was explaining how things you eat are made, like hotdogs, while they ate them. I think the one kid puked.

  Dont let your kids be rude.
