If yes, for what reason?

I never really saw the point, since it doesn't really enhance life the way other drugs do. I occasionally will smoke a cigar, but since it's only every once in awhile, it's like being able to enjoy tobacco to it's fullest without any addiction.
Not that I look down at smokers like some people do, because I do think people should be able to make their own choices. I just never saw the point in it.
-------------------- The very nature of experience is ineffable; it transcends cognitive thought and intellectualized analysis. To be without experience is to be without an emotional knowledge of what the experience translates into. The desire for the understanding of what life is made of is the motivation that drives us all. Without it, in fear of the experiences what life can hold is among the greatest contradictions; to live in fear of death while not being alive.

Smoking tobacco is pointless(just like twirling said) and there is strong addiction to nicotine. Shrooms are far more fun, don't cause cancer, don't make you cough, and are completely harmless(no addiction).

Besides (to me anyway) cigs taste horrible. At least smoke something that doesn't taste like...ughhh.
Then again there are plenty of people who will say that the taste is great.

I do, trying to quit though.
Placebo if anything else is the reason why.

Because of the placebo, some people swear that smoking shrooms makes you hallucinate.

Is it really hard for you to quit? (serious question) Cause I smoked like 5 cigarettes in my entire life and I never had the urge to continue it, let alone trying to quit.

Try smoking two packs regularly and you'll feel the cravings.
A friend of mine only smokes when he drinks. He tends to drink atleast once a week, and now gets cravings even when he's sober.
Drinking is also another trigger for me. Nothing like a cigarette while competely shitfaced

I'm allergic to most cigarette smoke, so that one isn't hard for me. I've had several friends try to quit for years with no success. Then again, my Grandma who had been smoking a pack a day for over 60 years quit cold turkey with complete success, and has been smoke-free for years now.
I keep trying to take up smoking, but my friends won't let me! 
Best of luck to those of you trying to quit!

Some people say that it's impossible. If you smoke regulary and you suddenly stop, you can't concentrate, you get a headaches, and you can think only about smoking. Then you say "Just one last cigarette" and start again.Click here and read the experiences to see how difficult is to quit. BTW, you can't addict only by smoking 5 cigaretes.

most people who get addicted to ciggeretes do so when they are young and dont know much better.
ciggerets are like comfort in a little stick. they make you feel better, and give you a little zip. its a drug just like anything else, and your bodys starts to need it, and when it gets it it rewards you with releasing those chemicals we all love that make us feel good.
its a terrible habit and i wish i never started, by the time 2004 is over i will have spent about $3,000 just on ciggeretes this year alone. that makes me sick.

I do smoke. I have been trying to quit for two years now, but I always end up lighting one. It's worse than crack.

I smoke about once every few months, but when I do, it's usually at a bar or a show with friends who smoke, and I end up smoking all night. I enjoy it when I'm drunk. I used to be a regular smoker until I got pregnant with my first kid. I don't have much of an addictive personality so it wasn't all that hellish to quit, but I'm glad I don't have to go through quitting again. UGH.

I don't have an addiction to them.
I'll smoke sometimes when I'm stoned or drunk.
I haven't gotten any withdraw yet, I think because I don't smoke days in a row. I can smoke 4 cigarettes in one night, and be fine going weeks without them.
I've never tried smoking more than 4 though.

no, he probably means $3,000.
If I calculate, I probably spend about $2,000 on cigarettes a year
