It's not a habit of mine, that is to say, I don't buy cigarettes for myself. But if I'm with someone who does, I'll have a cigarette with them. Haven't had one in months, and never had more than three in one day that I can remember. Meh.

No.
I tried it a few times, and would do so once in awhile, socially, while drinking. It made me nausious and dizzy. I used to smoke colts while playing pool when you could smoke in pool halls (you can't anymore) but that's cause they were rum flavoured wine-dipped tips and tasted good.
I'm pretty sure I haven't intentionally inhaled tobacco smoke in over two years...
As for pot, I also hadn't for over two years, but took a massive hit off a bong on Halloween, and a few tokes of the currently-passed joint (I happened to be standing in the right place). I'm not sure how it affects me anymore, I also had a lot of alcohol in my system.

No I don´t smoke, first of all it´s expansive and now a days people can´t smoke anywhere so it´s a big hassle to smoke. A bunch of people smoke in my school and I feel sorry for them standing out in the cold with their cigarette freezing to death, they don´t gain anything from it. When I was younger 12-14 all my friends were taking their first smoking steps and I followed but I´m to lazy to go out of my way to suck toxic expensive shit into my body. The smell is bad too, I can´t stand it when I go to some club or a bar, school dances and shit, my clothes stink like hell.

I think it's evident that most people (non-smokers) find the smell and taste of tobacco smoke absolutely repulsive, I sure do.
I think that people generally hate tobacco unless they become addicted to it, then their desire for the drug overpowers their repulsion and the relief/buzz (postponement of withdrawal pains) overshadows the natural repulsion and they start to like it. It's how alcoholics can actually drink shit like aftershave and learn to like it.
I wonder, what makes a person (who is a non-smoker and who finds it disgusting) actually force themselves to inhale this toxic stuff to the point of addiction? Is it for the buzz? Or to look cool? Or to seem "mateur"?
I'm no stranger to drug use, but tobacco is one drug I've never really understood. I don't see the big attraction about it. Maybe cuz it's legal and if you smoke you can catch a little buzz like 20 or 30 times a day and no one frowns on you for it.
I had a friend in high school explain it to me like this once: "Nicotine is a social drug, people love to do it in groups frequently as an escape from the pressures of the day. It's also like social lube, it makes it easier to talk to others cuz of the increased blood pressure, relaxation, and energy."
I read that nicotine has a very similar effect on the brain as coke, it's a stimulant like speed or ritalin or something and it has the effect of heightening both self-esteem and mental alertness. I read a study on this, so my old friend's social lube theory seems pretty accurate. I read that in the moments following the taking of nicotine, memory and concentration are increased something like 20%, but then of course when the effects of the drug wear off memory and concentration are reduced by about the same factor so a person going through nicotine withdrawal is more stupid and mentally scrambled than someone who isn't nicotine dependent.
Apparently there will eventually be available nicotine inhalers, just a few puffs of one of these (no need to step outside or wait till the plane lands) will be like smoking an entire ciggarette and an addict will be able to maintain their nic levels much more easily and evenly. Think about it, a 3rd of the population of North America (probably much much higher in Europe) are forever leaving their work to go out for a smoke, the lost productivity is staggering. Also, with all these people perpetually stuck somewhere between relief/withdrawal, their abilty to function normally is greatly impaired, particularly in the withdrawal state which for most smokers starts about 20 mins after they smoke. The nicotine inhaler will fix all of this. A smoker can take a hit like every 15 mins or so, that way the levels are maintained and the person never has to come down from the toxic high. They also don't have to leave their job to do it, so less time is wasted getting their fix. Aside from this however, the most obvious benefit of nic inhalers is the health thing and the strain it puts on health care systems. There is one drawback to nic inhalers however, and it's the possibility of death. As we all know, nicotine is extremely toxic and there's a lot of it in tobacco, it's just that burning tobacco destroys most of the drug. If someone was to actually eat 3 ciggarettes and not puke, they would surely be dead within an hour (the same goes for a baby who ingests 2 or 3 used butts). Therein lies the danger of the nic inhaler. It has the potential to help a great many addicts lead healthier and more productive lives, but at the same time is someone foolishly did many puffs from it (I'm guessing something like 50 or so) then it would instantly kill them, but then I guess that's the risk of messing with a potentially leathal drug like nicotine (once used as the active ingredient in insecticides). When my sister was young and stupid she once took a job as a tobacco picker. Of course, in that job, it's mandatory to wear gloves and something to protect your arms because nicotine is so toxic that if you touch tobacco plants directly it'll make you very ill (people have even died from this). Anyway, my sister had gloves but they were too thin and about half way through her first day there she got extremely sick and she had to take the next 2 days off because she was so dizzy and nascious, puking, couldn't eat, etc. Funny thing is that she was a smoker at the time. Oh the irony.
