How many of you smoke (cigarettes, cigars, pipes or chew tobacco)? I have been trying unsuccessfully to rid myself of this ugly habit for a long time. I've gotten to the point where I no longer smoke in the house, on weekends, in general when I'm not trading. I have gone on vacations for two weeks and not touched a cigarette, but when the trading day begins - BAM! -- out come the bloody cigarettes. And let's not even talk about what happens when I get myself into a pickle with a stupid trade.

So -- my question is -- anyone else in this same situation? Does trading increase your desire/need for cigarettes?

Thanks to all who take the time to respond.

Mods -- I put this in the psychology section for want of a better place. Feel free to move this elsewhere if you deem this to be innapropriate here.

I chew on straws to cut down on the smoking when trading....
 
Buddy please do yourself a favor and find yourself another 'habit'.

2 years ago I watched my mother die from lung cancer and it was not a pleasant situation. She had quit smoking maybe 15 years prior.

I don't know you and I don't mean to preach or cause you undue fear, but just as a fellow human being, I feel compelled to ask every smoker I come across to please - for the sake of yourself and your loved ones - cut out the tobacco immediately.

Have you tried chewing gum or even Nicorette as a bridge?
 
Perhaps it's too late to edit the poll but shouldn't there be a selection for smoking a doobie while trading?
 
Smoking looks HOT to me

I know I'll take heat for this one but why create a problem where there is none now? It's a trade off. Where will your focus be? Trading or quit smoking while trading. You'll be introducing a new stress.
 
I've come to conclude that smoking is a population control mechanism. Rid the world of weak, addiction oriented folks.

You smokers are WEAK and STUPID. Not only do you KNOW that smoking kills but you are willing to PAY for your own deaths. Stupid fucks, all of you.
