As far as I know, you can still grow your own (tobacco)...

I used to smoke back when I was like 14-15... it wasn't really the pressure cos I didn't have any, I think it was more that since I lived in a family of smokers I had this odd curiosity to try it. But eh.. it was dumb and I'm glad I didn't continue it before I got too addicted to it. And especially after seeing what my mom does after I hide her cigs... heh... don't wanna end up like that. (Thing of a infuriated chicken running around everywhere as if they were looking for something).

My turn
Unfortunately, I and my wife are both smokers.
We both smoke a pack a day.
I started when I was like 16, am now 28. I have quit many times and started right back many times.
I have no will power and admit it.
If I could turn back the clock to when I started..... I never would have.
I do not smoke in my house and I do not smoke in my car. I do not smoke inside other people's houses who do smoke inside. I
figured, I don;t do it my house, so I am not going to do it in your's. I will step out to the porch or out in the yard.
It just angers me when I sit back and think that I am spending almost $4100 a year on cigarettes that in turn will cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills in the future.
I am not pro-smoke. I am not anti-smoke.
If you are of age, do what you want.
If you don't like smoking or it bothers you immensly (sp) take yourself out of the situation.
If what you are doing is endangering others....STOP.
My wife and I have discussed that when she is carrying our children we will both quit, and hope to never start back.

Around here people would have to smoke probably 10 packs a day to spend that much money. I guess Ontario has it good, smokes are only 6.95- 7.50 where I am.

i have nothing against smokers cause nowadays most ppl seem to be aware of others, so they try to smoke out of the way of non-smokies.
but no one is allowed to smoke in my ride. no one is allowed to smoke by my ride. ladies, you can smoke after we've made out, not before.
the government is out to glamourize cigs. seriously, with the upwards pricing, soon only rich ppl will be able to smoke, making it the "fashionable" thing.
...hold up, i'll be right back. gotta burn some ganja.

well i dont smoke anymore, and hate it quite frankly
but you know, it is a choice to smoke, and most people that like smoking, enjoy it... it has a socail life that is/can be great... sure it kills you, but it can be enjoyable... sadly

The best choice I ever made was not buying another pack. You dont have to quit smoking just quit buying them. Bum from friends. Eventually they will get so fed up with you asking that they will help you quit just so that they dont have to give you any more. I still will smoke a cigar once in a while for the flava and a little laughy grass for you know what but I havent touched a cigastix for about a year. The best part is that now when I wake up I dont cough up all that nasty smokers flem.
On a side note
JasonKilpa you said that your throat hurt? Your not supposed to inhale cigar somke.. Just thought you should know....

I tried it once (obviously, being 17,) but I felt so sick afterwards. 
All of my friends smoke, but I decided against it a long time ago. My friends are actually really good about their habit. I don't bug them about it or anything, but they know they're not allowed to smoke in my car, and they don't pressure me to at any time. I tried it because I wanted too, and they actually won't let me do it again, for fear that I'll start up! 
Like I said, no one smokes in my car, and they always butt out at least 3 mins prior to entering because they know I hate the smell. I've done my share of weed, but I quit last year. There's no point to it. Sure you get high, but I can just as easily get drunk... (Which I like to do.) We all hand in our keys and stuff, so it's safe, and always spend the night at that house so you won't even need to drive. I've seen alot of people killed because the "only had a few..."

i smoked when i was in the music scene. i was sucking up so much second hand smoke anyway. plus, it relaxed me and roughed up my voice for singing. but, overall, my body felt like **** while i was smoking.
but i never smoked heavily and it's just too damn expensive anyway. haven't had one since february.
