Is the UK the only place where cigarettes are called fags?  Also, does anywhere else use the expression 'bumming' to describe getting a cigarette off of someone else?

I call them fags, but that because of too much time spent in the UK, and I rapidly discovered that if you ask someone anywhere else in the world if you can ‘bum a fag’ you might get punched….

I still suck fags. The problem with it is that I LIKE sucking fags. I don’t actually WANT to stop sucking fags. No excuses.

Go on, shower me with hate….

It's called bomma in Swedish to ask strangers for cigarettes.

Yes, fag has a very different meaning in the US.  Almost as bad as nigger.  Bumming is used commonly though.

I only tried smoking once and didn't like it. I was curious. I have tried cigars several times. Not fond of it either. I have my own addiction and it's sure not smoking.
Is it shit digging?

Don't know what to fill in in the poll.  :P

I've smoked, on occasions. Liked the taste, did inhale, but, it did not make me crave for more.
Found it ideal, when going out with friends, after one fag, smoke in bars didn't irritate my eyes any more.
Liked the taste of cigars even better. So, may have bought three tins of cigars, in my life. (yeah, really heavy user....)

Smoked a bit more around my twenties and forties, when I used cannabis using tobacco as a flammable. Was not hard to stop with that either. Disliked the effect of the tobacco.
Somehow the smoking things, and alcohol are not the hard addictions.

Chocolate though, that's way harder.

And, when agitated, under stress, or what ever, I crave dairy and sugar, and, it isn't doing me any good when I'm in that mode. Downward spiral, making me crave for more, etc.

Funny, when everything is OK, sugar and milk don't have that hold on me.

I added an option for you too, but am out of space for any more :)

Just to sound like a real addict :p :

The clean stuff is OK, when it comes to chocolate. The darker the better. No withdrawal symptoms, nor extended cravings when the cocoa percentage is above 70.
I tell you, it's those sugars and added fats, they are evil.  :hyke:

  A friend of mine converted me to dark chocolate.  She hates milk chocolate,
  says it has a greasy mouthfeel in her opinion.  I sometimes bring her cookies with 70%.  8)

I smoked a few cigarettes here and there when I was out drinking in college but it never really appealed to me.  I hate the cigarette smoke smell but oddly enough  love the smell of a freshly opened pack of them.   Chocolate and coffee on the other hand, just have to have them

  I think freshly opened cigarettes smell like raisins.  :orly:

Coffee :thumbup:...that's probably my only "gotta have it".

It cuts through the fog, and stabilizes my mood. :rollingpin: 

sometimes

  I need to keep a bit of caffeine in my system, or I get headaches and nausea!   :sick:

I smoked once when I was five years old and I have never smoked since then.


I tried when I was five or six because my aunt smoked and she go outside and smoke. I would try several times but her and my parents always stopped me and my cousin would tell on me when she would see me try. I never got to puff the thing at that age.

My grandmother smoked and I didn't like that she did.  I asked her what she saw in it and she gave me her lit cigarette so I could take a puff.  I inhaled deeply and choked on the smoke.
