I started to smoke when I was 15 or 16 years old, and quickly became a pretty heavy smoker: more than a pack per day. I was smoking usually the cheapest cigarettes. Tobacco products are generally cheap in my home country, at that time it was something like a dollar per pack. When I came to the US, I realised that this habit costs me significant amount of money, as I was working on a minimal wage at this period of time. So, I prefered to quit by radually decreasing the number of cigarettes per day, finally coming to zero. I did not smoke for five years since then, and went back to it for a short period of time (a few weeks, literally). However, that did not make me a habituala smoker again. Right now, I am not smoking at all (means under no circumstances) for 1.5 years.

Same with this... your asking: Do you smoke? There is no straight out Yes and No answer, with the only other being social. Ie. Yes, No, Social, Quitting

Your thread question was correct, Do you smoke; where the poll question asked "How many of you smoke?" I changed the poll question to reflect the title of the thread, being what your answers related too.

Errr derrr..

This is off the track but I just discovered a new thing about the polls - you can see who voted for what by clicking on the number.

I'm delighted with my genius! ;-)

Oh that's funny I never knew that Awakening, thanks! Now I'm all curious about all the polls haha. Though I noticed, it's only for the public polls. I never make my polls public, because I'm afraid fewer people will vote.

I have never smoked, but I'm quite surprised by the results so far, I really thought more people on here would be smokers.
