...Unless I've had a few drinks then I'll happily puff away (usually on someone else's fag!). I bet you smokers hate that!

"you smokers"..........?

You are one of us

Carmenere · 15/09/2007 17:39

I'm like you. I don't smoke from one end of the year to the next however occasionally I will smoke if I am having a few drinks and am with smokers.

Ohhh me too. And if someone has menthol ones, I just about wrestle them to the ground.....lush

Carmenere · 15/09/2007 17:43

Nope I only like Marlboro Lights, Camel Lights or Dunhill Lights. I hate most others.

Real addicted smokers hate us btw.

I don't mind as none of you 'part time' smokers will try roll ups so I'm quite safe....

I despise smoking. I hate the smell on hair and clothes and the way it pongs a room out for hours. Also think it's completely mental when you know it will kill you, some day, one way or another.

However am quite happily sitting here chainsmoking Lambert & Butler.

Another part-time smoker signing in here. Like a roll-up too, making super slim cones is one of my few talents.

Carmenere · 15/09/2007 18:13

Tamzz if you are chain smoking Lambert and Butler you are not a part time smoker. To qualify you really should only do it when you are half cut on an occasional night out(you are not half cut atm are you?).
Smoking 5 a day is still a smoker, smoking one a day is still a smoker. I used to smoke like that but now I go for months and months without one and don't even notice so I think I qualify as part time

I will try it next time, but am sure I have already and thought it was horrid! We can't all like the same stuff though can we? I had some tobacco when I lived in Germany which was called Buccaneer and it was flavoured with whisky - now that was lush!

Agree with stealing someone else's fag, nothing like it after a few jars

TheArmadillo · 15/09/2007 19:45

yes I hate people who don't smoke, who moan about it and then steal my fags after a couple of drinks...

...unless it's my best mate, who's lovely

GET YOUR OWN YOU SKANKY MARES!

lucyellensmum · 15/09/2007 20:11

i find smoking, disgusting, smelly, antisocial and abhorrant, full stop.....after it destroyed my fahter, i find it personally offensive

whomovedmychocolate · 15/09/2007 20:13

I'd parp but you smokers have no sense of smell and wouldn't notice!

southeatsastras · 15/09/2007 20:14

you're right but it's very moorish

EricL · 15/09/2007 20:20

What's worse is the people who say they are giving up and then tap fags off you all night.

Anyway - this is called 'speedballing' and it is the brains desire to take a stimulant (nicotine) along with a depressant (alcohol) to kind of balance.

That is why smokers find it so hard when they have a drink if they are supposed to have quit. Their brains have been taught.

orangehead · 15/09/2007 20:21
