I was thinking of ordering an e-cig. Has anyone tried it out yet on here? I hate smelling like smoke.

I smoked for about 10 years. Quit for about 2 years. Started again for about a year when I started dating a hot young chick that smoked, but quit finally a few years ago. I don't miss it. I used the patch each time I quit. Really helps break the habit, IMO.

I do have a dip every once in a while. I don't consider myself addicted to that though, having known what real nicotine addiction is like. My girlfriend knows that I do from time to time, but she has never seen me do it. I know it's kinda gross with all the spitting so I don't ever do it around her. It's more of a guy thing.

I smoke but only socially with some exceptions. I'll smoke a little after a really good meal or some demanding physical activities; other than that I can take it or leave it.

Except for fire safe cigarettes: fuck them. Taste like I'm inhaling a burning wad of carpet glue, disgusting shit. Had to switch to cheap cigars to get away from that terrible FSC paper.

Roll your own. It's a bit cheaper(though not as cheap as it used to be), tastes better, and no FSC paper :^)

Yeah I roll American Spirit (used to do bugler) it's pretty good but I hate their bundled rolling papers. Best rolling papers are hemp papers hands down.

I got used to their papers. They aren't bad; better than most you find, but I liked the Rizla blue papers it used to come with, and my all time favorite is Club. Light as can be, and no gum. They don't add any flavor at all to the tobacco.

poll is missing option for 'i'm drinking.' not necessarily 'am drunk.' but beer makes cigarettes tasty.

do not smoke otherwise. moderation is the key to all things.
