I read JulieCA's post about a guy bumming cigarettes. We know it's high among gamblers, but APs aren't gamblers, right? So that made me wonder how many APs smoke.

Quit 22 years ago. Was coughing a lot. Probably wouldn't be here now if I hadn't quit. Regarding gamblers, I like horse racing, and I have noticed that there is a much higher percentage of smokers at the track than in the general population.
 
Quit tobacco "permanently" around Oct./2002.
Had mitral valve replacement surgery Thanksgiving/2002.
Friends said "that'll teach ya to do something good for yourself." :p
I have officially given up almost all my vices.:laugh:

P.S. tobacco is a truly insidious addiction.
 
I try to always have a pack with me in case I need to get some asshole ploppy to leave my table. Where's the box I check to vote for that? :grin:

Ya don't need to vote that option... just lite it up and put in the "incense" ashtray :laugh::laugh:

I ask the ploppy very sincerely: Will it bother you if I smoke? And when the say YES, I immediately
light up and tell the dealer, "Will you tell him/her where the non-smoker tables are?" zg
 
I am surprised to see as many smokers polling in, so far, among counters.
Did we need to specify TOBACCO. Its a tobacco poll, friends! zg
 
Never have and never will! My hubby smoked from age 15 and has been tobacco free for three years.

I have smoked cigars a few times but not for more than 5 years!
 
I smoke when gambling, but never at the table. I always stand up and walk a few feet away, even if others are smoking at the table.
Outside of casinos, I have about one cigarrete a month, sometimes less.
smoked a pack a day from age thirty to fourtysomething. Quit about five years ago.
 
I smoked 2 and 1/2 packs of Marlboro a day back when i gambled at pool on a daily basis, 365 days a year. One day I couldn't breathe, so I went to the doctor. He laughed (honest) and said I always had at least half my lungs filled with smoke at all times. Said he never saw a more perfect candidate for cancer. That laughing hyena makde me so nervous I increased my smoking output by about a pack a day for a couple of weeks. But actually, I have him to thank in part for finally breaking the habit in 1972.

They say your body replaces every cell in seven years. I don't know if that's a fact, but it's a comforting thought after what I put my body through.

Today I only smoke other people's smoke, which I sincerely hope is not as bad as some say, since I spend lots of time in smoky casinos and pool rooms.

Good one shad, mine seem to happen in neg counts too, lol.
 
Colorado casinos don't permit smoking indoors, but some of the smokers are obvious - they're the ones lugging around the oxygen tanks (the casinos are 8000 ft above sea level).
 
30 years in September

I kicked the habit 9/28/81. I had just bought a new Corvette and was determined to not smoke in it! One of the few intelligent moves I made in my youth.
I'm convinced that I would have died several years ago, had I not quit smoking.

What an excellent idea! Makes me wanna start up again. And this technique makes you look very polite too!! I think I will use those little cigarillos, they could easily last until the end of a shoe.:)
 
I was a social smoker in my early 20s. After I had my first child, I'd join my husband for a smoke in the garage at the end of the day and finally quit even that. Didn't smoke for 20 years, then started social smoking again.

Outside the casino, I smoke about a pack a week. I don't even want to admit how much I smoke when I play blackjack.
