When I started everyone was smoking. I seldom see people now and not much by way of young people. I quit about 14 years ago. I remember my first cigarette and my last. Best thing I ever did was quit. I can be around someone smoking and it doesn't bother me but the stale smoke does.

Same here, and I smoked only when drinking. That was fairly often.

Quit smoking, dipping and drinking all the same day

I sound like you Roger minus the quitting part

How longs did you smoke? How long ago did you quit?

I can't stand a cigarette if I'm not drinking, but I rarely drink anymore. I doubt I ever quit dipping though

Also on your breaks, do you smoke while staring into a smart phone and/ or squatting?

It was the thing to do/try growing up when I was young. I smoked for 20 years following that. I quit when my daughter was born and haven't touched one since. I miss it dearly though.

Started at around 19 because where I worked it was commonplace. Everyone took smoke breaks multiple times a day and I guess it just became a habit in the environment. About 3 years later I was walking up a flight of stairs in the BEC and was completely out of breathe at the top, thought "shite I'm way too young for this" and quit cold turkey that day.

Like I said I don't smoke unless I'm having an alcoholic beverage

Stale smoke is the worst. The reason it bothers you is bc you could never smell it while you were a smoker. Stale smoke bothers everyone who doesn't smoke.

It was a mixture of curiosity and to fit in. It was an excuse to get into mischief. I also ended up just really enjoying it. It's relaxing and fun.

Had to quit though. Got tired of having the anchor tied around my neck and wasting money on it. I don't miss at all needing to have a cig all the time, but I do miss those perfect cigarette moments, e.g. after a good meal, with morning coffee, having a couple beers with a friend, etc. Unfortunately it's an all or nothing thing for me.

Mr Puritan over here. How's it like living in fear of what the person next you is thinking about you?

I smoked a lot in my early '20s. Now it's only if I'm out drinking. I want to quit all together, but once I crack a beer or pour a drink, it's way too hard.

OP hates on SJW's, then whines about smokers. It's their health, mind your own business, and get off my lawn!

Started when I was 12. Smoked for 26 years. Quit because I promised my son I would. Slowly gained weight over the first 5 years of not smoking. Now making an effort to get rid of the extra fluffyness.
