    Neither; both are substitutes for sucking your thumb. (Those who have yet to put away their security blankets should accept no substitutes!)

    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

    Just to point out the obvious, sucking a thumb is a substitute already.

      I know, but I didn't want to be non-KSS. :)

        I do neither, but at least smokers are being honest with themselves.

          Which? Neither. Why? I'm not a weak-willed person crippled by addictions.

          You better exclude coffee from that list of addictions. You have been warned! Where's my cup - why is it empty?

              Neither... I buried both my parents; they smoked and died of related illnesses.

                  I prefer none but I have smoked long time and still do up and a while. Around 500 cigarrets in last 18 months (note: that would have been 2,5 weeks in my previous times), Right now 7,5 weeks nothing, trying to keep my promise of no-smoking when I get a child (coming soon)

                      That's what I did when my daughter told me that I smell bad, and I can't get near to her if she smells that "bad smoke odor". I don't smoke around my daughter or around non-smokers, but the smell will really stick onto your body. So I have decided to quit smoking since last year and started vaping. It's less harmful and no shitty odor. :-D And I don't vape in public. I don't want to look like a muffler. :laugh: :laugh: Congrats in advance by the way!

                                      Are you asking which I prefer in terms of a) being stuck next to a person who vaped or smoked when in an elevator / 15hr plane flight / dentists chair b) Whether I prefer having smoke or vape blown into my face as I try and leave a building c) Whether I prefer cigarette packets or vape packets strewn on my front lawn d) Whether I prefer big tobacco minimising the risks of smoking or the risks of vaping[^]? Where's the "neither" option? Frankly I've had enough very close friends die of cancer and heart disease and I just get it. I understand addictions very well. I also understand what dying slowly is like. I just don't get it.

                                      cheers Chris Maunder

                                        Are you asking which I prefer in terms of a) being stuck next to a person who vaped or smoked when in an elevator / 15hr plane flight / dentists chair b) Whether I prefer having smoke or vape blown into my face as I try and leave a building c) Whether I prefer cigarette packets or vape packets strewn on my front lawn d) Whether I prefer big tobacco minimising the risks of smoking or the risks of vaping[^]? Where's the "neither" option? Frankly I've had enough very close friends die of cancer and heart disease and I just get it. I understand addictions very well. I also understand what dying slowly is like. I just don't get it.

                                        cheers Chris Maunder

                                        The question was actually for: * people who vaped or smoked * for people who smoked and vaped * for people who quit smoking and do vaping * for people who experienced smoking * for people who quit Perhaps I should have clarified it in details :)

                                        That's the one missing.

                                        I've had enough relatives died too, and that's why I quit. But the number 1 reason why I quit was because of my kids.
