SMOKING

Pack a week of Benson and Hedges 100s does it for me. Anyone else around here smoke?

No cigarettes, but I used to smoke cigars frequently in my college years. Quite relaxing actually. And less of a risk, seeing as you don't smoke nearly as many.

Oh, and pot too. Now those are EXTREMELY relaxing.

I quit, but I'm starting to really wonder why. New York's $8.50 - $9.00 per pack doesn't help matters, though.

I loved cigarettes. I loved smoking. It's the greatest. Well, next to sex and coffee.

I thought it said "spanking".

Oppers isn't here yet.

My theory is that if Fleming died in his 50s on three packs a day, then I don't have much to worry about on a pack a week. Sure I'll be dying of lung cancer in my eighties, but I'll be dying of most anything in my eighties anyway.

Your consciousness will have already been downloaded to the Matrix by that time. Then some assclown spills his vegetable juice on the server and you die.

I'm a social smoker. Meaning I'll smoke when I'm drunk.

On a couple of occasions I've smoked while being stone cold sober. Didn't like it.

I've got mixed thoughts about smoking. My uncle and grandfather both died from smoking. When I go to school, the smell of the students who do smoke is repulsive (no offence, of course), as well as being harmful to one's health. I wouldn't mind trying it, but I know it wouldn't do me any good in the long term, and well, this is another reason as to why James Bond is escapist for me.

I'm rather like Fields in regards to smoking ...

In saying that I have smoked. In my rebellious teenage ways I smoked at my friend's party last year and on NYEs. Both times I haven't found the appeal of it and really don't want to since it is bad for your health ... and it does smell a bit. The funny thing though is that sometmes I don't mind it and sometimes I hate it.

I have plenty of friends who smoke, know people who have died from lung cancer, and are sometimes revolted by the smell ... and sometimes not - though that lst one comes out after I've had a few drinks.

Proud to say I've never smoked anything in my life and don't plan on it. My parents did and it was vile.

Drinking, on the other hand...

I've never smoked and don't think I'll ever try.

I would like to see Bond smoke again though.

Sometimes I'm a social smoker - that is, tumbler in right, buttock in left, cig in corner, cardiac in six.

I smoke about a pack a day give or take, only downside so far is the hole in my wallet. :|

Never thought I'd end up saying that on a James Bond forum, kudos for taking things in a more adult direction.

And...also guilty. Not ashamed as much of this though. In Maine it's actually more socially acceptable to be a pot smoker. Replace "Vacationland' with "The Stoner State" and you've got an idea of what I live with.

How much do they set you back in Maine, Chigawa? If you don't mind me asking.

Not at all, Anywhere from $7.00 to $8.50 a pack. You can buy cheap cigarillos for about $20 a carton in some shops. But that stuff's even worse for you, and nasty as hell.

Yeah, it's roughly the same here.

I know a few people who have resorted to smoking the cheap sh*t. I think one of the brands is called DEAN'S.

When they light up, it smells like exhaust from a car. If I'm going to give myself lung cancer, I won't be doing it with that sh*t.

I'm currently smoking Hamlet cigars.

'I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad breath.'

No I don't really, but it's good reason to maintain your teeth and gums. Mouth cancer and all that jazz.

I had an aunt who smoked cigars. I'd sit on her knee while she tickled me. Afterwards she'd always give me some sweeties.

Should this be in the 'having a good day' or 'having a bad day' thread?

The 'Psychoanalysis for Dummies' thread.

My aunt from America liked cigars too. Her name is Monica and I think she worked for the president or something.

I got Samantha Bond to write close but no cigar on an autograph for me, at a Bristol Old Vic reunion. While my dad chatted to Patrick Stewart and the late Pete Postlethwaite, and laughed at that pretentious t wat Jeremy Irons, who came in leather gear.

Agreed. Royal Warrant all the way!

Alright, since this is a more 'adult' forum....I'm gonna go out on a limb and say:

You haven't lived...until you've lit up a joint and watched 2001 on a big screen with surround sound.

Just sayin :oops: the hippies loved Kubrick for a reason ;)
