Coffee and Ciggeretes (sp) ?

1. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke legal material ? (ie tobacco and not illegal drugs).

I don't drink coffee. I do occasionally smoke when going out ( say once or twice per week tops).

2. Why did you start either ?

To see what it's like.

3. Would you like to give up either ?

Nope, I enjoy the smoke, it makes me feel relaxed, I figured I don't mind buying one pack every 2-3 weeks or so. I use it to feel lightheaded while I'm drinking before I'm tipsy, then the beer takes over....

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ?

I like it, it makes me feel very relaxed/light headed. Kind of like I start to feel after 2 pints...
 
I dont drink coffee, but i do smoke.

I wanted to feel/taste it.

I'm not trying to give up completely, but it would be better if i did. I only smoke about 6 per day and am not addicted.

I smoke because I like it.

You don't love smoking. You'd dearly like to believe that you do, as would many others, but you don't.

It does NOTHING good for you. It makes you feel crap, costs you pots of money, and will kill you eventually.

The only reason you feel you enjoy it is that it makes you feel crap in the first place, until you smoke another.

The only reason you now smoke is to temporarily make yourself feel like you did before you started - normal.

Don't get me wrong, I smoke. I regularly tell myself I enjoy it, but I don't.

Your opinion, I love the taste and smell of smoking and taking 5 minutes out of my day to relax and enjoy a smoke. That first cigarette with coffee is the morning is better than sex. The people who smoke cheap smokes are true addicts, they don't wish to enjoy their habbit. Whereas I, a man who smokes only premium tobacco enjoy it.

Doesn't make you feel like crap, the only downside is financial and health related.
 
1. I rarely drink coffee. Maybe twice a year. I used to smoke but quit last January. (once a month or two though, I'll go through a packet of 10 while out drinking but that's it)

2. Stupidity

3. I actually enjoy smoking but wasn't happy with the cost and effect on health. Having a couple while out drinking every once and a while is my happy medium. Quite happy I can do it too without lighting up the morning after. Doesn't even enter my mind.

4. I think everyone would be a mix of the two.
 
I drink coffee but I don't smoke. Then again I don't drink much coffee, just a couple of cups a week as I enjoy propery coffee, so treat myself to nice coffee in a decent cafe (or go to my parent's house to use their coffee machine! :D).
 
I drink coffee, started drinking it in the summer holidays when I was working night shifts and now I have a caffetiere (sp?) and drink coffee most mornings. I've been smoking one or two a day since i've come back to uni but not for long, I used to do it because I was either worried or feeling stressful, now I just do it because i'm addicted, I don't even like the feeling!
 
1. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke legal material ? (ie tobacco and not illegal drugs).
A: Yes

2. Why did you start either ?
A: Because I enjoy them both, great combination.

3. Would you like to give up either ?
A: No, I don't drink enough or smoke enough to worry. 2 coffees and 2 cigarettes per day.

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ?
A: I'm not addicted, I only have a couple out of choice because of taste, I don't get urges.

As for smoking and coffee going well together it could be as a result of caffeine being a toxin forcing your body to counter it by releasing insulin, which in-turn creates heat, burns energy and increases respiratory activity; this has the potential to 'heighten' the effect of the cigarette.

On the flipside there's evidence nicotine may shorten the half-life of caffeine allowing you to consume more. Nicotine also acts as a neuroprotectant.
 
1. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke legal material ? (ie tobacco and not illegal drugs).

I occasionally drink coffee

2. Why did you start either ?

Tried it one day and liked it

3. Would you like to give up either ?

I gave up smoking 3 years ago and don't regret it one bit, if anyone could come up with a genuine reason I shouldn't drink 4-5 cups of coffee a week then I would consider stopping

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ?

Nope, Like I said I only drink 4-5 cups a week at work, I always have coffee in the house but usually prefer a nice cold glass of water
 
1. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke legal material ? (ie tobacco and not illegal drugs).

Drink coffee, used to smoke but give up/switched to snus, so still addicted to nicotine.

2. Why did you start either ?

Enjoyed the taste I guess for coffee. I started smoking cigarettes after giving up smoking "other things".

3. Would you like to give up either ?

Have no intention of giving up coffee at the moment, I don't think it negatively impacts my life. Have given up smoking already :)

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ?

For coffee i think it may be more habitual than addiction, I can go without. Cigarettes i was addicted to, but i did genuinely used to enjoy them sometimes also.

Good luck with your uni study :)
 
1. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke legal material ? (ie tobacco and not illegal drugs).

Yes to coffee, Yes to cigs although I did quit for a while until the inevitable failure happened.

2. Why did you start either ?

Coffee is Tasty and KEEPS YOU AWAKE WITHOUT THE LOUD NOISES OR CAPS! Cigs on the other hand I was young & foolish... younger and slightly more foolish than I am now and so when offered cigs at the age of eleven I became a foolish smoker!

3. Would you like to give up either ?

Cigs yeas! Coffee not unless my doctor said it was going to kill me!

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ?

Cigs I'm addicted and I'm going to try to quit again.
Coffee Well I only have it once in a blue moon as I prefer tea but when I do drink coffee I drink **** loads because I like it.

Coffee yes, smoking no.

2. Why did you start either ?
Was given my first nice coffee when I had a way to drive home and I was tired. Yum.

3. Would you like to give up either ?
I see no reason to give up?

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ?
I daresay I'm mildly addicted, but only when at work - I then take some at 10am and 2pm to break up the day, and to stop me from yawning my head off!
At weekends I'll only drink coffee or tea socially, when offered and when meeting up with someone (if it's too early for pub or it's not a good time to go for food instead)
 
1. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke legal material ? (ie tobacco and not illegal drugs). No, i quit both.

2. Why did you start either ? Because my ex told me to hold her ciggy whilst she went to answer the door, i decided to take a drag and liked it.

3. Would you like to give up either ? Already did.

4. Do you drink and/or smoke because you like it or because you are addicted ? I drink socially, if you're referring to alcohol that is, if coffee, i don't drink it, only green tea.
