I don't it's a disgusting habit

Kayleeangel123 · 12/09/2023 12:12

Thats why I put "if you smoke" so you didnt need to comment really.

Prob 10 if i can afford cigs. Vape i defo smoke less.

Thehuntess · 12/09/2023 14:49

But why do you need to know ? Are you trying to justify your habit? One is one to many

Devilsmommy · 12/09/2023 14:53

Good grief the responses of some make me laugh. I'm a 25 a day smoker. Roll ups 😁

Thehuntess · 12/09/2023 14:56

Why though? Why do this to yourself?
Do you not worry about cancer ?

Devilsmommy · 12/09/2023 14:57

Do you stress about cancer? Anyone can get cancer, not just smokers

Thehuntess · 12/09/2023 15:02

No I don't stress at all. Not worried about dying but would rather not get lung/ cancer of the mouth or oesophagus
Could you cope if you got this and knew you could of had years had you not smoked ?
Yes anyone get cancer but it's foolish to not know smoking can increase your chances significantly

Devilsmommy · 12/09/2023 15:07

I understand where you're coming from but I just don't think that way. Smoking is my 1 vice and I enjoy it so can't see myself quitting. I don't drink or go out so this is my 1 pleasure for myself

C1N1C · 12/09/2023 15:13

I love people who confuse the word "if" with "regardless of whether..."

OP might as well have said 'give me your thoughts on smoking'.

Devilsmommy · 12/09/2023 15:17

I know yeah 😆😆😆

I don't smoke but realise that OP wasn't asking what people thought about smoking.

It just comes off as judgy.

GarlicGrace · 12/09/2023 15:35

Supposedly cutting down from 40. Most weeks I'm still averaging 35.
Yes, I'm sure I stink.
Yes, my lungs are a disaster.
No, I can't afford it.
I own a bazillion NRTs, books and hypno recordings.
My name is Garlic and I'm an addict.

LaDoIceVita · 12/09/2023 15:39

Usually 20-25 a day, roll ups. Probably nearer 40 today after 2 bloody hours of online chat with Fedex to get my parcel out of their clutches.

I love the way non-smokers try to scare smokers with the "dangers" of smoking. Smokers are far more aware of these dangers than non-smokers. All that happens is they get worried so light up another one!

When I smoked I was on 30 a day - have been a non-smoker for almost 600 days, which means that I haven't smoked in the region of 18,000 fags and have saved approximately £13,000

PaulaZackMayo · 12/09/2023 15:47

@BrightLightTonight it's the same as people who quote the 14 units of alcohol and BMI range. No shit sherlock you aren't telling people some advice that nobody has ever heard of.

I don't it's a disgusting habit

There's always one😂😂

I don't smoke anymore but used to in my early 20's. Probably around 6/7 a day.

TheChosenTwo · 12/09/2023 15:57

Used to be about 20 a day, easily double that on a night out.
(None now but absolutely no judgy comments from me so I hope you don’t cross that I replied!!)

menopausalbloat · 12/09/2023 16:03

Four a day.
And yes, it's a disgusting habit that I've had since my early teens.
I used to smoke 20 a day but took up vaping about three years ago.

menopausalbloat · 12/09/2023 16:05

You'll always get judgy people who get on their high-horse when it comes to addiction.

JennyH2020 · 12/09/2023 16:08

@GarlicGrace There's a great book called Thrive as a Non-smoker: The Amazing Truth About How to Stop Smoking Quickly and Easily that's on Amazon for £39 - if you want to stop it's really good.

Devilsmommy · 12/09/2023 16:20

Controversial I know but why do non smokers assume we all want to give up, it's just that we haven't found the right way yet? Then try telling you loads of different things that most have probably tried at one point or another anyway 😕

tabulahrasa · 12/09/2023 16:53

I was on just over 20 a day for 30 odd years till about 6 months ago when they went up again... I just couldn’t justify spending that much, so I switched to vapes.

vodkaredbullgirl · 12/09/2023 16:57

I think all of us who smoke know the dangers. Not really counted how many, depends what I'm doing.

Thehuntess · 12/09/2023 17:01

You are all right it is judgy
