Poll HN: Do you smoke Cigarettes?
Do you smoke Cigarettes? Just curious.
- drhowarddrfine 17y agoAn old girlfriend, when we broke up, told me the one thing she will be grateful to me for is I got her to quit smoking. She breathed better, smelled things better and food tasted better.
- zimbabwe 17y agoNo. I'm curious about trying them, and might have a smoke some time in the future to see what nicotine feels like, but I have an aversion to things that are physically addictive.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoPut the curiosity aside, please. I smoke, and I've tried to quit numerous times. I feel like crap several times a month, and I know it's directly related to my smoking.
- alnayyir 17y agoNope, secondhand as a kid was enough to make me swear it off.
- frossie 17y agoThe data geek in me would have been interested in seeing: No - never did No - I stopped
- randallsquared 17y agoThat could be simulated by both a No and a Yes upvote, if there's some way to know how many people voted, total.
- knieveltech 17y agoInstructive that the particular distinction "Cigarettes" was made. It would be amusing to see this poll done either without the distinction.

- enomar 17y agoFor those that do, please don't throw your butts on the ground or out the car window. It's extremely irresponsible -- yet I see it happening all the time.
- bddbbdb 17y agoPlease provide ashtrays and convenient places to dispose of them. We'll use them when they are available.
- mannicken 17y agoNever have, don't see a reason why. From the outside all I see is death, sickness, and billions of dollars in profit for huge corporations, and I have never tried nicotine so I don't know how it feels.
- hdx 17y agoYes, not proud of it though...
- GVRV 17y agoYes, proud of it. Helps give me a legal high, great when working on problems or making decisions, very effective social lubricant.
- whalesalad 17y agoMy girlfriend hated it, so I quit. Only a smoker for 5 months or so... so it wasn't entirely too hard. I have to admit I miss it... It's definitely a social lubricant. It helps when working too, to take a break for a smoke. It's also nice to have a cig after a good meal. So, I guess I'm glad that I quit but I can certainly relate. And there's nothing I hate more than the whiney people that complain to smokers that they're ruining the earth. Sometimes people are far too quick to judge a person based on whether or not they have a smoking habit.
- eswat 17y agoNope. I've had enough second-hand while I was a child thank you very much...
- ccarpenterg 17y agoIn treatment to quit smoking. I've been a smoker for 15 years and recently I've decided to quit this bad habit. So my psychiatrist prescribed me Bupropion. The treatment is working: 4 days without smoking. It feels great.
- babyboy808 17y agoNever have, never will! Could never understand why smart people choose to take it up.
- csantini 17y agoThis post encouraged me to stop
- csantini 17y agothank you!
- yekmer 17y agoif you submit these polls after smoking, you should immedeately stop smoking, and start working for your start-up.
- zecg 17y agoNo, they are junk. About 50% of the contents of cigarette is filler and tobacco is of incredibly low quality. I roll my own cigarettes with tobacco produced without additives. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_additives_in_cigarettes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_additives_in_cigarettes and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkTMx-1G0RQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkTMx-1G0RQ
- spk 17y agoI've been a cigarette smoker for 14 years, but in the last 6 months i've switched to pipes. It's a whole new approach to nicotene delivery. Much more enjoyable, and healthier in some ways imho. To other smokers, you should really try it. Cigarettes is to smoking as hearing the same loop of music over and over again while pipe smoking is like having all of the itunes store available for you to listen. A side benefit is that as it's an active process, contrary to just lighting up a cig and letting it burn on it's own, you keep your attention focused on it, you relax, and your subconcious is free to engage in all sorts of thoughts. (Although you can achieve similar results by taking a bike ride for example) To those who have quit smoking well done and keep it up.
- highplains 17y agosoooooooooooooo glad i quit!
