Only when I'm on fire.

Did for a few years - mostly at work because I didn't feel the need when on holiday, then dropped it as soon as I realised I was pregnant.

Bunch of weird questions there. It's like one of those questionnaires which ask if you've ever felt like killing yourself amongst what is your favourite jam.

Thanks lobster!

its interesting the social/antisocial aspect - I know a lot of people smoke for the sociable aspect like fag breaks at work and smoking areas at pubs and bars

I do- not around DC though. Desperately need to quit as I do hate it but started again after DC as I needed a fag break once in a while.

Live comfortably and within my means.

30, smoked 20/25 a day from young teenager until 18mth ago. Now I'm over a stone fatter, have occasional cig if I've had a drink. And a pack of 20 on my birthday... I miss smoking. Quit for health and money

It actually takes real commitment to become hooked on fags ! I remember the first one I had was foul, made me all dizzy and sicky so why the hell did I persevere ?ConfusedConfusedConfused

YABVVVU stamps out fag

I'm 31, smoke 20 , sometimes 30 over a week (roughly between 3-4 a day although more when I go out) plenty of disposable income, have taken drugs although wouldn't touch any nowadays.
I have 3 DC and have never smoked in the house, they have rarely seen my smoke because I tend to only do so in the evenings although they have seen me do so occasionally.
I'm not proud of smoking, although I admit to loving it. I definitely welcome how unsociable it's becoming because I wouldn't like mine to start. Hypocrite, me?! Never!

Have done weed approx 3 times

I do, not around dc though. Stopped when I was pregnant both times then stupidly started again. I smoke outside, never done drugs and I drink about twice a year.

Why do you want to know my disposable income? Is it so you can put me into a demographic?

I call survey.
