When I play poker, I smoke less than usual. During the game I smoke only during the break. But alas, so far I am also not ready to quit smoking, although I am fully aware of how harmful it is.

I don't smoke, and I've never smoked. I have always preferred sports and a healthy lifestyle. It is sad that people are ready to deliberately harm their own health.

I like to smoke and drink when I play, that relaxes me and I feel that I play much better.

If you must smoke something. Vaping is definitely the way to go, it's less smelly, cleaner, cheaper, and it gives the same effect. Nothing worse than chain-smoking, with ash falling everywhere, nerves going strong when you get a premium pre-flop, that need to light up another, why do that, when you can take a few puffs from the vape, job done.

If I suddenly decide to give up now I have to stop playing poker too, at least till I'm over it. Otherwise the nervousness would ruin me at the tables. As of now I've reduced them by inserting a bit of discipline , I'm allowing myself a ciggie once every 1.5hrs. In 2 weeks I'll extend the break to 2hrs and so on. I hope I can reduce them to a pack a week max



Good luck. I have a handful of friends that quit over the years using various methods, so whatever you find that works for you, go for it!

I smoke a lot when i play live poker. It is bad for health but i feel it as a part of the game, so it would be hard to quit.
In online poker, i only smoke during the 5 min break...

I Hate to admit it but I tend to smoke a lot during games:( It's not only a bad habit, unhealthy ( I feel it ) but it's also super costly and I don't win enough at the tables to support this bad habit


What could I say to you, who are certainly an intelligent girl. Quit smoking while you can!, but who am I to tell you such a thing. The old saying goes, "If advice was good, no one would give it for free". But I would say enjoy life with healthy habits, while playing, play with your cats, but leave the cigarette aside. Good luck to you at the tables.:)

I usually wait for a break in the tournament to light one cigarette.
I know it's a bad habit but what to do.
I do the same, and personally I am not affected by the game, I smoke as much as usual.

Smoking on break) Once per hour) On topic of vape - it can't replace cigarettes, just because vape have no stop-factor of "session" and you smoking it all the time)) And cigarette have "the end") Believe that only thing that can fully replace cigarettes for truly addicted smokers is something like IQOS or Glo, tobacco heaters, they are also doing way less damage to health compare to classic cigarettes)

I consider it a bad habit even without playing poker, but I respect it. I personally don't

I spoke a ton while I play poker, especially if I'm only playing poker. And I spoke both cigarettes and cannabis. I notice if I am only playing poker on a day off I smoke about double the cigarettes and at least 50% more cannabis.

I have started multi-tasking while I play now. Either getting really into a good limited series on a streaming site or I will cross stitch as I play. Either of those things allow me to still pay attention to my cards but gives me something else to do in between playable hands. Plus if I do that, it also allows me to be more patient while waiting for playable hands;)

each one chooses what to do while playing poker, it is always advisable to be concentrated as much as you can to always give the best of you and will be reflected in the results you have, you should always keep that in mind, but each one chooses.
