Following up on smokeythebear's post about when a person is considered a smoker. My question is do you consider yourself a smoker and when did you come to terms in your own mind that you were a smoker?
I started smoking in high school, but it wasn't until mid 20s that I actually self identified as a smoker, even though I'd been smoking regularly for years. After that it was a long process of then going fully public and accepting my habit as my choice. When younger, if someone asked if I smoked I may have said (depending on who was asking), "yes, I smoke"; now if someone asks if I smoke I answer, "yeah, I'm a smoker." Somewhere in there it went from something I do to something I am.
