Poll on smoking or not

With all the threads on smoking/not smoking I thought a snapshot poll of forum members might be interesting.

Re: Poll on smoking or not

I am a smoking...scarily been smoking for a decade as of my birthday in a few weeks. Have set myself a deadline of giving up by my 25th birthday.

Re: Poll on smoking or not

Given up but still get tempted if I'm out in a smoking crowd at the pub.

Still after April up here that won't be a problem any longer.

Rats! I knew I missed one

Now you are a true non smoker!


Perhaps a kindly passing mod would add a Stopped smoking "over" 5 years ago to the poll!

Re: Poll on smoking or not

Smoked since I was 18, gave up for 6 months recently but got stressed at work and re started... (silly me)

When the time is right for *me* I will do it again though.

Only problem was, there was more than one category that applied.
Hence it will be difficult to come to any conclusions.

Smoked for >5 years, gave up a few years ago, started again, and still trying to give up.

Re: Poll on smoking or not

I nicked a couple of my mum's cigarettes when I was in my very early teens and tried it, but it did nothing for me, so I never even started smoking really. Plus I realised that I'd stink of smoke if I did, plus it'd cost me money....
