would you smoke if there was zero negative health implications and no social stigma?

[Lesserspottedmama]

I did smoke in my late teens and early twenties. It's been many years now, I would never ever do it again but I did enjoy it at the time.. having a nice meal, maybe a drink and then stepping outside into the crisp night air and enjoying a cigarette while looking up at the night sky and contemplating life (okay I'm romanticising but just indulge me here).
I know it also stinks and is an extra cost. But I was wondering, if there was no stigma attached and definitely no negative effects on your health, those around you or the air quality around you.. a 'healthy' cigarette as it were... would you? My husband (also smoked in his youth) says he wouldn't. But i think I would!

Hell yes

YES - I miss smoking

Yes, I loved it.

I'd want them to bring back proper Marlboro ice blast

I look at people walking on a cold morning with a cigarette and long for one

Not if ciggies still cost a tenner a pack, no. I have better things to do with the money.

No! The 'nice feeling' is getting your addiction fix. Not the smoking itself. There's no way I'd go back to being controlled by needing a cigarette.

The cost, the affect on skin, the stink. Oh! The stink, yellow nails/teeth is the worst! Blergh. No way.

Sooo judgey

Oh yes, absolutely definitely for sure.

Last touched one 25 years ago but I'd certainly start again if no implications. I think all ex smokers are just one cigarette away from addiction again!

No. Given up for such a long time, doesn't appeal anymore.
Also, it only looks cool on the young and beautiful, it just doesn't look right on either the very young (school age) when I started, or in middle age and beyond.

YES!!!! THIS!!!! If they did, and there were no health risks, I'm ashamed to say I'd probably pay £20 a pack.....

Hell yes!

I wouldn’t smoke because it smells, but if there was a legal, healthy, non-addictive and stigma-free way to take heroin I’d be on it like a shot (see what I did there).

100% yes, although probably just at the right time and not all day (after dinner, at the pub, after sex).

@Minikievs

Yes I'd smoke 100%. I vape now (not a big cloudy one and not sickly sweet liquids- i hate this just as much as everyone else!) and whilst it scratches an itch I am never as satisfied as I am on the odd occasion I will pinch a cigarette from a friend on a night out. I haven't smoked properly in 6 years but have been a social smoker until lockdown hit last year. But if there were no health issues or social stigma I'd go back to smoking tomorrow.

Yes. Pass them over

100% definitely yes! I quit the day I found out I was pregnant (she's now nearly 3), but I loved it and I miss it!

Oh yes 😊

If it wasn’t ageing to the skin either, yes

God, yes. I'd smoke like Satan's armpit.

No, I don’t see the point in smoking. I don’t like the idea of being addicted to anything. It’s a waste of money too.

No, it stinks, is expensive, makes your nails go yellow, and all the people I know who smoke look old and weathered well before their time.

I totally would, I loved smoking.

Not quite understanding the people on here saying the like the smell of someone smoking.

Now if it were a cigar, or even a pipe (does anyone smoke pipes these days?) that would be a different matter!!
