Do homebrewers smoke?

[dasBuhbuh]

Yeah. I have been Snusing for a while now. It's good, but soon it's time will come too. I just need to get off being the Nicotine b!tch.

Not smoking will be easier for me now tho'. I have always had a weakness for Kretek (Clove) and thanks to Obama outlawing them the need to resist temptation is taken care of.

Hookah with my girlfriend ocassionally. cloves every once in a while. the obama thing is kinda dumb. ban all flavors except menthol which is the most popular and comparatively the cheapest? bah. you can still get them imported (legally - personal consumption only) but thats too much effort. i do it for the smoke rings! hookah's great for that...and next to no tar.

I understand the trouble the older generations having with quitting due to the lack of knowledge about it all when they started, but I cannot for the life of me understand people who have taken up smoking in the last 20-30 years. It just doesn't make any sense to me to start something that you KNOW will kill you.

Hows the whole drinking thing sit with your liver?

I know, anything in moderation.

 

[Bopper]

Don't smoke except for the very occasional cigar.

People always seek pleasure, even though it will kill you. Same with alcohol, too much can kill you, but the pleasure right now makes one drink.

Know what you mean! My parents smoked heavily too. I began when I was 16 and smoked 'till 24 before I quit, but because of a traumatizing experience this year I began again. Began again 12 years after I quit.

I remember as a child on vacation. They smoked in the car, and I complained about it. All they did were open the window.

Once a smoker always a smoker. I could start back in a heart beat. The only things I can do is keep reminding myself how much I hate it and don't socialize with people who smoke. The latter being the most difficult. I pretty much had to stop hanging out with my old friends. But "old friends" aren't always the best influences.

Maybe a handful of cigars every year but I do not inhale.

 

[DavidSteel]

Smoke an e-cig (with my homebrewed nicotine-free e-liquid; I just do it for taste. Smoke candy!), have a pipe collection (though I haven't smoked my pipe in quite some time), and I'll have a cigar on occasion.

 

[MeatyPortion]

My dad smoked for about 53 years. Finally quit after 3 strokes. Still refuses to believe that smoking is bad. Claims that smoking helps lower his blood pressure and that quitting caused him to have his second smoke.

I thought I would save money by quitting the tobacco, then I discovered brewing. At least I have something tangible to show for the money besides brown crap coughed up in the shower.

 

[TXCrash]

I smoked for 12 years, quit a couple times then just "stopped smoking". Haven't had a cigarette in a year and a half. Sure, there are times that I'll follow a smoker for a block or sit next to a smoker just for the second hand smoke. There are times I'll be tempted to bum a smoke. I have to remind myself that if I have that cigarette I'll go right back to my pack a day habit.

Bars in Oregon are smoke free now. Sure is weird being in certain types of bar without a smokescreen...

 

[jimba009]

you talkin bout flesh bars?

 

[JoeMama]

I used to smoke 1-2 packs a day until I found Swedish snus. Since then, I occasionally will smoke a nasty cigarette or even a black and mild. I tend to smoke on occasion to remind myself as to why I quit in the first place. Snus is much more enjoyable IMO. (And I still get my nicotine!)

I'd say Cigarettes are a lot higher on the danger scale and than beer.

Ohio is smoke free as well and I think it's great. Bars are much more enjoyable.

Don't smoke, don't date smokers, don't go to places that allow smoking. I don't even like candles on the table. The only smoke around here is inside Bertha.

That sort of denial isn't unusual for the holder smokers. They were told that cigs were good for them back in the day.

 

[FreakinA]

I like a good cigar with an IPA or sometimes during a brew session.

 

[engrishjones]

I smoke a pipe its pretty relaxing with a good beer

And you will never know until you smoke yourself.

Oh thats much better.

E-cigs are banned in Norway. Not legal to import.

 

[tcklord]

I smoke a cigar once every few months but that is it.

 

[Denny]

I quit about 6 years ago. After 2-3 months, I started tasting things I'd never been able to taste before. If you want to REALLY appreciate the beer you put so much effort into, don't smoke....

 

[david_42]

This is Bertha

 

[SevenFields]

Beer and cigars for me!

 

[MrVagabond]

I smoked close to a pack a day for a few years. Quit cold turkey when I was 18 and haven't looked back since.
