I know a lot of you smoke, but I'm curious whether you think it's crap anyway.

CRAP, and I smoke. I'm tired of it and I actually enjoy, maybe, one or two cigarettes per pack. The rest of the time I'm like, wtf? I switch back anf forth between smoking and dipping--which is also CRAP. They've banned smoking in bars here, which is total CRAP because smoking + drinking is definitely NOT CRAP.

I beat it. it sucked. I consider quitting one of the best things I have ever done in my life. non-smoker since nov 20, 1999.

I'm somewhat allergic to it. It bothers me to the extreme, but I wish it didn't considering my parents smoke, and I have to be around it sometimes.

CRAP.

They just did the same thing yesterday in Idaho, but under the guise of a "restaurant" smoking ban. However, if a bar serves up a ten-year old bag of pretzels or a pickled egg, the bar will pretty much fall within the definition of a restaurant.

It's pretty unbelievable legislation to me. Where are you, tobacco lobby? Is it possible that I might come to miss the halcyon days of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond?

Smoking is a bad habit, but I concur-

smoking + drinking= not crap

the only time i really smoke nowadays...

smoking: crap
rock show w/o smoking: mega-crap

I smoked for 11 years before quitting 3 years ago.

The first 4 years, not crap

The next 6 years, crap

The last year complete mega-crap

I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Somehow the realization at 17 that young females took me more seriously as a potential mate because I had a small controlled fire sticking out of my mouth made all the fucking difference. When combined with alcohol or coffee these little mofos where especially tasty.

The last two years they were not tasty and I hated every fucking one I sucked down. I don't regret all the weed I smoked half as much as those stupid cigarettes - go figure.

Yet, bar, clubs, etc... just wouldn't be the same without half the patrons sitting around with stinky little fires in their mouths. Since I'm all for decriminalized drugs, prostitution, etc... it would be hypocritical to say otherwise for tobacco at these places - NOT CRAP

But otherwise - TOTAL CRAP!

Smoking is good for taking a crap. So I'm not sure if that makes it crap or not crap.

Somehow, the government of Ireland has now brought in legislation to remove smoking from bars.

It's going to create some pretty deserted bars.
