putting smoking in its place
this is a blog for the smokers on CS - the social, the regular, the trying-to-quit, and even those who call themselves non-smokers but turn up for meets reekin' like a lum, or keep bumming 'just one' from you.
And no, we are not convening this meeting behind the stinking garbage bins. That's partly what this is about. We're being hustled, so we are. I don't think any countries allow smoking indoors in public buildings or any public transport any more. Public open spaces are under threat. Laws are coming in making it illegal to smoke in a house or car if there is a child around. Some countries already have them, so the kiddies have to sit down and think about their options. Do they shop mommy or daddy or the grandparents to the authorities, and likely get cut out of the will? Or did they remind themselves that shutting up will mean mommy / daddy / grandparents will die all the sooner, making them rich rich RICH in the shortest possible time ...
My blog, my rules - this is only for smokers, and our special places to smoke. In fact the importance of having a special place to smoke. Whether you have one or two cigs a day, or a few a week, or whether you smoke thirty or more every day - it's time to make a special place, or talk about the special place you already, the haven where no-one can get on your case.
Any non-smokers who feel the urgent need to say smoking is unhealthy / a disgusting habit / they quit cold turkey from 100 a day and never looked back / any other hostile, pompous, boastful or unpleasant comments, should go look at a handy blog Harbal has up for unwanted comments. Our lungs, our choice. When we want to make it your choice we will ask for your opinion. Thank you for respecting our rights.

Can I come in smoking a spliff?
None of my friends that smoke have died from a smoking related illness or cancer.

Btw, your smoking haven looked very cosy

Now I have a smoking terrace. (That's it, in my new profile pic) One good side-effect, it has halved the amount I smoke because I keep thinking I'll just finish this before I go out ...
I HAVE noticed I'm a bit tetchy. I wonder if abruptly halving my nicotine intake is having an effect
You are smoking hot anyway
Any hotter, it’d be too hot to handle for my Arty!
Heyyyy! You........
There are so many unhealthy things to do! Eating certain food, drinking certain drinks. After so many years! They come back and say that! Its not harmful at all. Anyway! as for smoking! Do this include smoking pot too?No! I do not smoke pot!
Just asking! Since you mention smoking. Because there is other things that can be smoked! So! which ones are we talking about. Or are we talking about everything that people can smoke??

There is a spray that I use. Fresh Wave= Odor Remover Spray. It take smoke out of the room. Out of your clothes. And sometimes I use; Tobacco Odor Remover air fresher, that take smoke smell out of the air. Plus! at the same time! I dont like to smell smoke myself. And I always open my patio door. To help clear out the smoke smell.......
Smoked salmon and hams and stuff next.

I also! love to respect people that! Do not like to smell smoke.
I will not smoke around them. Even when their at my house! I will go outside. Or I want smoke at all!
I can smoke indoors (and probably will again come wintry nights) but I really like having a place to go. I jest sits, and smokes, and thinks, and then I thinks some more, and then I go back inside. It makes a break in the day
My smoking place has only recently been finished but yay I am loving it. There was a little song hopping through my brain, I could while away the hours, conferring with the flowers, consorting with the rain,
and my head I'd be scratching as my thoughts were busy hatching if I only had a
nice place to sit and smoke
Got dog!.........................................
oops, I m off topic, ( a place for smoking) here at our local casino ,there is an area for smokers, (half the size of the non smoking area). And all we get is non smokers playing slots in our area, complaining of the smoke,
I smoked 2/3 packs a day, for 20 years. I've been a non smoker for 2 years - stopped because smoking was not "fun" anymore.
Do what pleases you. Enjoy life,. (do smoke 1 for me too)
PS: as always
That was the first and last time I’ve had a ciggie in my mouth.
Well, as for ‘cigars’.....that’s another story altogether
I can't stand smokers smoking near me either.
Why that sounds ever so interesting, I'll be trying that for sure, yesiree
You do live on the edge
But yup, we have free choice at all times. We simply have fewer options to choose from
I miss smoking good quality tobacco. One time, the premium brands in Canada was affordable and that was what most smoked but in later years with the insane taxes that is gone on smokes, in my neck of the woods, a pack of premium smokes is around $15. Paying over $12 now for the cheaper brand that I smoke.
