Well, It's 4:17 in the morning and I'm sitting here enjoying a nice hand-made menthol and I got to thinking, how many of you guys have to pause your 40k game to go take a smoke break? I usually have to go take a trip to flavor country when me boyz get blown away by heavy weapons fire. How many of you guys are smarter than me and avoid this wallet ravaging legal addiction? My curiosity must be sated!

Meh, miss clicked, i don't smoke

I smoked from the age of 13 to 32, I gave up on January 1st this year. I had a few drinking sessions where I ended up smoking and then finally I realised I didn't want to have a cig any more. I actually smoked a cig two weekends ago and, despite being drunk as a skunk, it tasted so bloody awful I couldn't finish it.

I am finally, entirely, cured of it. I don't resent other people smoking and I feckin hate people who do that irritating little false cough or spout on about the evils to smokers. All I saw is this, I can run again, I feel bloody great about stopping and I assure you if you stop, you will feel better.

I smoke mainly cigars and pipes with the occasional cig with a beer.

No, thanks, not a smoker.

I always hated how I smelled afterwards, stale smoke in my clothes & hair.

Yep I smoke, toying with quitting as I have briefly before a couple of times. Thing is I'm more a boredom smoker, something to keep me occupied for 5 mins while something heats up, or 5 minutes outside stress relief from the kids . Last time I quit though was less than a day, I got dragged to town on a Saturday by my wife and it ended up a choice of punch ignorant people who were constantly walking right in front of me and bumping into the kids, or have a smoke and calm down. Manners are a rare thing to find where I am now in people.
When people have a go at me I point them to Bill Hicks' material on smoking and remind them that non smokers do indeed die every day

Nothing more annoying than playing a club Warhammer league game against one of the two smokers in it. We only have a couple of hours to set up and finish which is drastically shortened by them disapearing for a smoke break and if you don't finish the game its counted as a draw...

Congrats mate, that is good times.

I know what you are saying about not wanting a cigarette after smoking. I have tried to quit twice, and both times the hardest part was the first week or so. After that, as long as I had stuff to do, no desire at all. At some point I know I can kick the living crap out of this monkey, but for now I got a million other monkeys (smaller monkeys that prefer to pester me, rather than viciously attack me don't ya' know... the world seems to be full of all types of monkeys nowadays, and for some reason or another they really like to piss me off ) that I got to deal with, living life and all, so it is on the back-burner for now.

Doing art always helped me, but some times I can find time, some times I can't.

This picture is just way too freaking appropriate... man... I'LL GET YOU SOME DAY YOU BASTARD!!!

Strangest thing is that I keep the goddam monkey around for other purposes... like a monkey with masks... many masks, but all with lasers... many many lasers.



In all honesty though, as evil as this guy looks, he does seem to help out quite a bit on occasion. Here he is on vacation .



YES!!! KICK ASS!! I mean... why yes, good sir.

I would occasionally smoke outsides bars and the like with friends.. but haven't even touched a cig for at least a year. Nothing could be worth that bad breath, and it makes a hangover so much worse.

Non smoker.

First cig at 5 with the kids in the street.

Got into cigars at university and a couple of years after (about one per fortnight when university was in session) in the mid to late 90's. ALWAYS when drinking. It seemed everyone was bum puffing away on them for the taste. I managed to secure a good supply of cubans, and even the chicky babes at the residential college puffed on the cigars.

Since then, none.

Never saw the point.

Spent too much money on miniatures.

Quit.

Didn't we just have a thread on this..? O.o

The problem with smoking is that it makes you cool and mature.

I do think that if the smoking ban in pubs hadn't been brought into effect I'd still be smoking.

Started smoking at 14 and still smoke now at 32, it is a little bit of a pain when your in a group of non smokers in a pub when you dissapear outside as you miss some of the conversation, what does make me laugh is the fact that I use a members only club and all the people who complained about the smoke before the ban now come and stand outside anyway with all of us smokers so I really can't see in which way the ban has really made any difference to them!!!

It's always good to hear about people quitting. Gives me hope for the future. (although I seem to be able to run just fine) I've been smoking since I was 15 but I've trid to quit several times. I kinda wish they'd stop making menthols, It'd make quitting super easy fer me. gratz guys!

Never smoked (well apart from one puff so I could say yeah I tasted it years ago) don't drink anymore (about 12yrs) and not into drugs.

Straight Edge as CM Punk would say.

Although, with RPGs, Wargamming, Consoles gaming and MMO's as hobbies, I haven't the funds for any other kinda vices.

Let them smoke inside then

Smoked for a longtime, but quit about a year ago. However, a few relapses when having beers.

I do look forward to the day of bionic lungs or cloned lungs as I will start up again no doubt.

Voted No, but I had two very limited bouts with smoking years ago and I gave up chewing tobacco about 5 months ago. I've felt better and been happier since then.

Off-topic: If people want to smoke in public I'm fine with that (as long as it's in the non-smoking section). Banning smoking in bars is just dumb. You may as well ban alcohol in bars while you're at it.

Don't smoke, except for very occasional weed. I never really saw the appeal of smoking; it's bitter, smokey, and searing hot. not to mention a serious drain on income. (all the weed I smokes I bum off friends)

None the less, I want a pipe, top-hat, and monocle for funs. The Inglourious Basterds horn-pipe is the kind I'm going for. god I love that movie's first scene...

Reading this thread.. I now need a smoke. brb

Let it be done! I could totally go for some bionic lungs! I'd smoke a pack at once lawlz.

@ captincomunism: yeah I like reefer too, but I never get to smoke unless I'm working. Same goes for new Warhamz pieces.

Hey for all those quitters out there: What do you do with your hands when you quit? this is my biggest hang up. I tried chewing on a pen but just got lots of ink in my mouth and looked like a goober. I need something to keep my hands busy at bus-stops.

i smoke ciggies, wed, ice, speed, hash, resin. ftr

I'm allergic to it. I can't sit beside a heavy smoker, much less smoke, without being unable to breathe.

I think it's a disgusting habit that should be banned in public and near children.

I think people should be forced to smoke in public, and children should be forced to smoke at least four packs a day.

Can you say Nicotine overdose?

Dear Orkeosaurus,
I am a 40k player with limited perception, and I am unable to tell that you are trolling me. I therefore politely request that you use your mouth to give oral pleasure to aging male prostitutes.
Yours sincerely,
