How is cigarette smoking viewed upon in your social circle/among your friends?

[henrikc]

Frowned upon in my family. Some friends smoke when drinking, and I know a few who smoke daily.
Not really looked down at.

Even here in the Capital of tobacco, Richmond VA, there is a stigma amongst many people I hang out with. That being said, there is a large arts crowd here and I'd venture to say 50% of them smoke and I would consider them to be a peripheral group with which I associate. I smoke about 3 to 4 cigars a week but that's 100% at home or in my car.

I stayed across from Altria HQ for a month. They have a pretty logo.

No, I stuck with room service for the most part. I should have holla'd at you.

It's frowned upon in some groups of friends and not frowned upon in other groups. Most of my closest friends all drink and smoke.

none of my non work friends smoke cigarettes. I can only think of one work friend who smokes cigarettes.

My wife smokes one cigarette a day unless nonsmokerns are around and then she skips it.

i wonder about people who won't let me smoke in their homes and frankly, i typically light up even when asked not to. why invite me over if you know I smoke and know me and don't want me to do the things i do like smoke, look in people's fridges, masturbate and steal their stamps.

When I was younger in MTL, everyone smoked and non-smokers were an odd minority. Times have changed though and most people I know today don't smoke.

Although I quit about 12 yrs ago, I still enjoyed the odd cigarette - especially when drinking. In the last few months, I've started buying packs and smoking 1-2 cigs/day - more if consuming alcohol. My non-smoking friends don't really care since we cannot smoke indoors anywhere anymore and I don't smoke around the kids.

I wuold smack the **** out of you (with a chair) if you did that at my place.




















(and then i'd run and hide)

But seriously, it's an asshole thing to do if you know they're non-smokers, or even if they're smokers and don't smoke in their own home.

There are a few bars in S.F. that still allow smoking inside.
