People who smoke: why do you smoke?

Starting a few years ago, I smoke a few cigars a day along with enjoying some bourbon. I enjoy the full, rich flavors and aromas of a medium-full bodied cigar.

I smoked cigarettes from about age 14 to 38 when my wife became pregnant. I can't stand being anywhere near cigarettes ever since then. Many years now.

[Cubus]

I can't stand the smell of when someone near me smokes. It's gross.

[BCRanger10]

I smoke cigars occasionally when I meet with friends.

[Cubus]

Why you do this?

[TrueConfection]

Smoking is disgusting. Why do smokers insist on imposing their oxygen consuming disgustingness on the rest of us? I cannot stand having to hold my breath and race through a cloud of foul smelling cigarette smoke just to get in or out of the grocery store. 🤢

Thank you for the MHO ❤

[Cubus]

You're welcome

[Izzy_3991]

Never had a smoke and I never will. I hate being around smokers. I move away from them if I can. It's nasty 🤢

[greenice27]

I do not smoke. Smoking is harmful to health.

[Cubus]

That's why I do not smoke too

[Nazgol]

I'm an occasional one. Reasons, relieve stress or "supposed " to, curiosity, coolness.

[Nazgol]

Oh & it's fun lighting it up, unless for me

[Nazgol]

At least for *

[Cubus]

Aren't there other things that relieve stress, that are healthier?

[Nazgol]

Yeah. Which is why I don't do it all the time

[Nazgol]

Maybe like once a month or sometimes if I really need it, but I never allow myself to even get over 1

[Cubus]

It's good then

[Nazgol]

Ya , too scared to get hooked. Wouldn't wanna get myself down that dark road

[OlderAndWiser]

Never did. Never will.

[CloudMassacre]

I like how it feels to be high

[Cubus]

Aren't there healthier ways to feel good?

[CloudMassacre]

Yeah, but you could say that for a lot of things
