*This is not a judgmental topic.*

The Cowboy is wondering how living here has affected people's smoking habits. I know lots of people (myself included) who never/rarely smoke "back home", but smoke frequently or regularly here.

My smoking habits haven't changed at all. I tried those 1mg versions, but TBH they tasted like an arse with herpes. I smoke Marloboro lights...and a pipe.

As I tell my students, "Smoking is good for you, and it looks cool too."

i tell my students "smoking is the social equivalent of pooping in your hand and throwing it around when you're angry".

I smoked half a pack a day before I came to Korea. That went up to a pack a day in my first year. Then I quit because a pack a day plus Korean air pollution was doing awful things to me.

I'm surprised it's not higher. I would have thought it would be nearer 75%, but then I tend to associate with people in environments conducive to smoking.

The smoking poll joke appeared on the Daily Show a few days ago.

As for the non-judgmental question, I smoke the same here as I did in the US. But I don't smoke weed anymore, and I can tell a big difference. I think weed is more damaging than people realize/want to admit.

I can't really tell much of a difference to be honest. My memory is still terrible, I still get the munchies and I still appear to be generally spaced-out. And this is the longest I've ever been without since I started many, many moons ago.
