Do you or did you ever smoke?

[Nancy5]

I smoked when I was a teenager to keep up with my friends (peer pressure).  I continued smoking, but quit in 1999.  When I smoked a pack cost $2.00 now I believe they are up to $6.00.

No, I've never smoked. My husband chewed tobacco for 20 years though. I thought he was never going to be able to quit, but when my husband asked my 7 year old son what he'd like for his 8th birthday, his response was "I'd like you to quit chewing tobacco". My husband quit by my son's 8th birthday. How admirable is that?

Yes I smoked on and off most of my life.  I had quit and then when my husband passed in 2013 I thought it would make me feel better to smoke but it didn't - don't ever want to smoke again.

[renee10]

No, I have never smoked.

I've never smoked more than a puff or two off a cig in my life.  Never saw the thrill in it..just made you have a bad taste in the mouth, makes clothes smell. Just not worth it.

Hi.  And no I have never smoked a day in my life!

[Jayce2013]

I smoked for probably 5-6 years, after graduating when I started university.. everyone around me was smoking and I got so tired of grasping for fresh air that I just started smoking too
So cool to smoke while sipping wine.. or going out to clubs...  then I met my husband and we both decided to quit together.... haven't been smoking in 9 years and I don't miss it AT ALL

I have never smoked but I do dip smokeless tobacco.  There are a lot of similarities including crazy prices, addiction, and health consequences. I need to quit for all of those reasons.

No I have never smoked and I don't ever plan on it. I am a singer so it really doesn't appeal to me.

I smoked for 25 years and  I have just quit for good.

I used to smoke for 15 years, I quit 10 years ago when I was 34 and found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child. Quit cold turkey and never looked back. I have not smoked since then and I will never go back to that filthy habit! Kudos to everyone who quit!

I smoked from the time I was in college until 32 years later but quit in 1999. My doctor got me to do it. She said I had too many risk factors for heart disease so should get rid of those I had control over, like smoking. This worked. I haven't had a cigarette since.

I have never smoked and didn't grow up around it. I can't stand the smell.

I actually tried to smoke when I was 18-19 years old.  It was the late 60's and smoking was supposedly the "adult thing." to do.  It looked so sophisticated and grown-up at the time.  Well, I could never stand the taste or the smell.  So after about 8-9 months of trying to become a smoker (isn't that a laugh now?), I gave it up after just being completely over it.  My guardian angel was looking over my shoulder, that's for sure!!!!
