Do you smoke?

[Paul ™]

I'll still smoke a spliff though

[rabid]

But if you know the person you're visiting is a smoker, why would you expect anything else?

I'm playing devil's advocate a bit as we don't allow smoking around the baby, or people who've been smoking to hold her. But adults have a choice!

[worm]

Conversely if you invite someone into your home who you know hates smoking, or cats, or dogs...

[worm]

JPS used to be my brand before switching to real tobacco. Then Golden Virginia became my brand of choice.

Now I don't smoke, I vape. My brand of choice is Gamucci, but I'm getting fed up of the poor build quality of their parts so I'm going to try an e-cig. I would use Blu as they're cool as f**k, but you can't get them over here yet.

[rabid]

... then it's up to them to decide whether they can tolerate smoking, cats and/or dogs.

This is turning into a discourse on manners.

that posh shed sounds awesome a shed with computers in though - isnt that a bit risky, like easy for someone to break in etc?

[Sparticus]

I'm in the firm opinion that once you have a puff it can always come back to haunt you. I quit about two years ago. That lasted a year. I didn't go back to fagging it full time, but it's still the odd annoying one on a night out, or someone will crack the cigars out.

I only started on fags due to the bud, and as such when i'm having a break miss that a lot more than tabacco. Tobacco's kind of like a way of appeasing myself on night's out though, means i can still have that feeling of smoking without being chonged to the point where I can't hold down a decent conversation.

It was more like, this bud is taking ages getting here, I need something to smoke right now!

That's how I started, and I reckon how a lot of people start. Smoke da herb, go dry, find yourself addicted to the nicotine that you were putting in the spliffs. standard

Only smokers think that smoking is cool, which makes it incredibly uncool!

Why ruin the good 'erb with tobacco?

[rabid]

[Milbert]

Smoked for years, packed it in 5 years ago. I use snus now, the swedish stuff you put under your lip. It tastes good, doesn't smell, isn't antisocial, you can use it everywhere smoking is banned because no-one knows you're using it, and it's something like 99% less dangerous than smoking.

So you're saying that in the example of a school teacher, they can't be sacked for smoking around children?

It's illegal for an employer to ask someone if they smoke as it comes under discrimination.

Don't go to their house! Why shouldn't someone be able to smoke in the comfort of their own home without a guest whining about it.

[feral chile]

It's not.

The idea that once you're a smoker you're always a smoker is based upon the Freudian principle of oral fixation. According to him, you're already addicted to smoking before you even have a cigarette as you're already orally fixated. All you do to give up is displace the response of smoking to the urge of oral fixation, and as we know there's many ways you can do that.

Something that isn't related to the stages of pleasure fixation (oral, anal, sexual etc) will not remain latent. So for instance, you can overcome an addiction to fighting, as the urge of fighting will go away once you get rid of the response to fight. Although you may get rid of the response to smoke, the urge to *orally pleasure one's self* will never go away.

* Oh, I know!

I smoke cigarettes occasionally when I've had a drink.

I haven't smoked green in over a year now and I feel all the better for it

[jump]

My friend opens her window and smokes out of it when I visit - it makes me feel really uncomfortable. She also insists on going outside to smoke when she's in my house, even when it's pouring down.

I'm not an ogre, honestly! I don'tmind breathing in the odd cigarette. Though I wouldn't do it long term.

[Katster]

I live in a 4th floor flat. I have no issue with people smoking at my place but like Feral Chile I wouldn't want to do it too often. Even with the windows left open my place stinks after people have been smoking in it.

[worm]

That's if you believe Freudian crap theory.

[harderfaster]

golden virginia, green rizla, those new weird black swan filters. don't know why but they're nice.

It's double glazed, has a security lock and a burglar alarm, which I suppose makes it as secure or as insecure as a normal house. Luckily I live half way up a mountain so we don't get a lot of passers by and the shed isn't obvious from the lane. Even from the outsisde it doesn't look much although it's pretty impressive inside, But if someone wants to break in anywhere they will but at least it doesn't shout 'this is worth burglaring.'.
