I'm just gathering up some data to see who smokes, and who doesn't.

I'm a Non-Smoker, myself

I don't smoke, for several reasons:

1) I can't stand the smell. It gets in my hair and my clothes and it's just icky.
2) It's ludicrously expensive.
3) My asthma won't tolerate much of anything getting in my lungs, which tend to seize up whenever smoke is around.

And the chief reason I don't smoke is that I watched my mother's father virtually rotting from the inside out thanks to the habit.

Non-smoking. A high percent of those with ADHD tend to smoke and a high percent
of the people on WP have ADHD. So I would guess if everybody votes the figures will be more like.

Non smokers 75 %

Smokers 25% ( 50% WP x 50% smokers).

Non smoker and Im really sensitive to the smoke and smell it lots when others dont. I really hate the smell anyway.

I smell it on the submarine really badly even though the smoker can be 50-60m away.

I tried smoking once and decided it was disgusting and stupid. First off, for someone who tends to be anxious and jittery, i have never been worse than when i tried cigarettes (got to try everything once :roll: ) my friends thought i was on ill or something, i couldn't stop shaking.
It made everyhting smell unpleasent and my throat burned for ages, it's stupid, by that i mean that i can't fathom why anyone would want to smoke, and as several of my family memebers have died or are dying from smoking related cancers, i was predisposed to disliking it.
