Do you smoke?

Ex occasional smoker.
Had to stop completely last year, after just about killing myself. Following a pretty stressful short period in my life, during March 2009 I resorted to few cups of coffee (the morning one on empty stomach) and around 30 cigarettes per day.
The result was an acute medical condition, three months on sick leave without proper food (as I simply couldn't eat anything) and a radical change in my living and employment conditions.
Now, like Damian, I cannot smoke (not that I want to) due to this condition.

I've never smoked. Apparently it stunts your growth.
I'm 6ft, which proves it.

I smoked from age 13 or 14 (mostly at the pub :lol: ), exactly because it was supposed to stunt your growth. Well my growth was stunted, but I'm 6'5". I stopped when 20 fags hit £2.

Chocolate cigarettes don't count.

Always wondered why I kept getting funny looks in the pub. :roll:

And they're a bugger to light.
HM - have you ever considered how tall you would be if you had never smoked?

Yeah, a mate of mine that goes by the moniker "Little Andy" is 6'14" (think about it) but he's another that smoked, really quite heavily actually...

Pipe and cigars for me. Quit cigarettes about four years ago. Don't miss them at all.
It's a different kind of smoke completely - one done at leisure at home only and obviously not inhaled.
The few remaining proper tobacconists very often do lines in quality shaving gear also, as well as single malts if that is your thing.
There are parallels too between this shaving 'hobby' and pipe/cigar smoking where supposed rarity and the rumour mill is concerned - a prime example being Dunhill products of any description.
