Poll: Do you smoke?

Hello. This poll is as simple as possible and is intended for residents of the United States on the topic of whether you smoke. The funniest part is that I shared this link on Reddit, and the very first comment was something like, “Smoke what?” - meaning other weed and etc. But no, that is not what I mean here.

In this poll, I am specifically referring to cigarettes, cigars, and similar tobacco products. I will ask about marijuana and other substances in a separate poll. Here, I am interested in whether you smoke and how often you smoke. This american poll do you smoke is focused strictly on tobacco use and related habits.

How Often Do You Smoke Cigarettes or Cigars?

I am personally interested in the overall statistics of smokers in the United States, and I know that even if 200 people vote, this data can already be fairly accurate. As more people participate, the results tend to stay roughly the same, with only a small margin of error. That is why this topic genuinely interests me.

This is an interesting survey about how often you smoke cigarettes or cigars, and how frequently you do so - whether daily, weekly, or occasionally. This how often do you smoke cigarettes survey aims to capture real habits among people living in the United States.

How Many Cigarettes Do You Smoke a Day? Poll

In addition to frequency, this poll also looks at how much people smoke — for example, how many cigarettes you smoke per day, per week, or even per year. This how many cigarettes do you smoke a day survey includes many different answer options, allowing you to give a clear and accurate response.

Thank you for taking part. And if you do not see an answer option that fits your situation, you can use the feature to suggest your own answer and add it to the poll. Your input helps make the results more complete and accurate.

My story with smoking

I did not smoke until I was 28, but at that age some emotional events happened, and because of them I started smoking a little. Almost immediately after I began, I understood what the appeal was. Many people say that nicotine itself is addictive or that there is a craving for nicotine, but for me it felt more like a kind of breathing exercise — you inhale the smoke, exhale, inhale, exhale. The calming effect and a certain sense of pleasure came specifically from that rhythm.

That is my personal story. I eventually stopped smoking, and now, if you average it over an entire year, I might smoke maybe one cigarette a month, and only in very specific situations. In the male social world, this is often seen as a somewhat pleasant ritual, where you share the act of smoking with someone. For example, if a distant friend whom I have not seen for a long time comes to visit, and he knows that I do not smoke, but invites me to step outside for a cigarette, I will smoke one with him at least once. He will genuinely appreciate that.
