I don't have any cigarettes, either.

( Cut so newly quitted smokers can ignore it; not so much about smoking as about quitting, but I'd hate to make anyone's day suck. )

Ah, a name for my former smoking habit! I used to smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day defensively so I wouldn't be bothered by my roommate's and boyfriend's smoking. When I got a place of my own, I stopped because I was no longer interested.

I am in the same boat with you. Call me chipper.

I'm right there with the two of you. For S&G's last week I bought a pack and I smoked all of one and threw out the other one I tried to smoke. It tasted terrible.

It's okay, really. rackletang January 19 2005, 11:06:57 UTC

Even though we are in different boats, I appreciate your ability to be so... full of empathy. (Empathic sounds new agey, empathetic sounds like an insult, so full of empathy will have to do.) :)

I have figured I have to live in a world where people smoke, including some of my best friends - so I may as well get used to it.

"Chipping" is used to describe casual skin-popping among heroin users.

Ew. Clearly neither Malcolm Gladwell nor I are up on drug culture slang.

Actually, it sounds like he was using it in exactly that sense; the heroin users who chip have the same light-user status (and [presumptive non-addiction) that your 2-3 cigarette/day smokers do.
