I don't smoke because I enjoy it! I smoke because I need the "nicotine"!
For me is it pure an addiction!

I understand what you mean Burn.
It's funny when someone asks me whether I'm a smoker or a non-smoker I have no idea what to say.
I like tea, cocal-cola, coffee... but don't feel the need to drink 20 cups a day! It's the same with cigarettes really. They taste good and make me pleasantly dizzy for a few seconds, but a couple of puffs (yes, puffs, not cigarettes) in the evening is about enough. Honestly I don't understand why people need to smoke a packet a day. I've been smoking like that for about 12 years now and never feel the need to smoke more. I don't know, either I have a non-addictive personality or it's a family thing - my grandfather smoked like that all his life and never got really addicted.
Then again, I don't know many people who manage to stay that free once they start, so the best advice is not to start at all.

If you smoke, you are a smoker.
If you don't, then you are not.
It's not hard.

that occasional smoke does however make you a smoker...
enjoy it...

But not a smoker in the full negative meaning of the word. Just as an occasional alcoholic drink doesn't make one an alcoholic.

It was Pam and mine's favourite staying-in-drink during our courting days.
