For those that do, please don't throw your butts on the ground or out the car window. It's extremely irresponsible -- yet I see it happening all the time.

Please provide ashtrays and convenient places to dispose of them. We'll use them when they are available.

I've been a cigarette smoker for 14 years, but in the last 6 months i've switched to pipes. It's a whole new approach to nicotene delivery. Much more enjoyable, and healthier in some ways imho. To other smokers, you should really try it. Cigarettes is to smoking as hearing the same loop of music over and over again while pipe smoking is like having all of the itunes store available for you to listen. A side benefit is that as it's an active process, contrary to just lighting up a cig and letting it burn on it's own, you keep your attention focused on it, you relax, and your subconcious is free to engage in all sorts of thoughts.

(Although you can achieve similar results by taking a bike ride for example)

To those who have quit smoking well done and keep it up.

No. I'm curious about trying them, and might have a smoke some time in the future to see what nicotine feels like, but I have an aversion to things that are physically addictive.

Put the curiosity aside, please. I smoke, and I've tried to quit numerous times. I feel like crap several times a month, and I know it's directly related to my smoking.
