I don't see how you could be an "occasional" smoker, smoking every x number of weeks or months, because the feeling you like from smoking comes after you have already smoked regularly for a while, I forgot what it's called, but I know that if you stop smoking for 2 or 3 days, and then smoke again, it won't feel good like before, and you will have to keep smoking regularly to get the feeling back. I have done this several times, to stop smoking for days or weeks, and this always happened to me.

My point is that if you try smoking the first time it's really bad and not something you like, and this will happen every time you don't smoke for 2-3 days, so in order to actually like smoking, wouldn't you be considered an addict already since you have to do it everyday or at least every other day in order to like it?

I used to smoke a lot. I smoked mostly cigarettes I rolled myself without filters and I also smoked from pipes for a while. I think there is a difference between cigarettes and pipes and cigars. I think it is easier to smoke cigars or pipes and enjoy it without being addicted than it is to smoke cigarettes. I think there is also a difference of whether or not you inhale the smoke into your lungs or if you just bring the smoke into your mouth. If you inhale the smoke I think it is harder to enjoy it without being addicted, but if you only bring the smoke into your mouth I think it is easier to enjoy without being addicted.

Yeah I know they're different. I should've specified I was only referring to cigarettes.

I know that even before V2 many clerics smoked cigarettes.

There were a number of years where I smoked about 2 cigarettes per week, only on Sunday afternoons.
