    this sounds soooooo stupid but...........


    i saw my friend at lunch and i shared a cigerette with her........ i noticed she touched the end (only for a milli-second) but she'd just finished work in a shop (touching money and other peoples hands possibly) and then i finished the cigerette off after........ she's not ill or anything but do u think she could possibly pass on an sv that way???

    You shouldn't smoke. It kills your immune system..


    But, seriously.. I think you will be fine. I would be more concerned about the mouth contact than her touching it.

    You will be fine, I wouldn't worry about it at all. My goal is to quit smoking very soon before I turn 40. Don't worry you will be fine, but I have learned not to share anything that includes smokes drinks and foods.

    I don't think I could give up smoking. One of my routines is having a cigarette right after I eat and If I don't have one right after I eat I panic...don't ask me why but I do. When i was in highschool I shared cigarettes with people almost every day and I never got sick from it. I wouldn't be worried about it.

    Can bacteria survive being exposed to that type of chemical?

    massive bump, but ill post here anyways :P


    when i started smoking, i used to share cigs for about two months, and i never seemed to catch anything or feel ill, even if they had a SV - if they bum the cig, just wipe it with ya shirt or something till its dry, and then do a barely lips touching filter puff.... roll ups is another story though, the tabacco seems to seep through the skin, and the filter becomes wet rather easy.... so my advice.. dont share roll ups, but its oki to share normal cigs


    bah.. i need a cig so bad right now, even typing about it is taunting :P had 2 cigs today (( but i get payed saturday, so sooooonnn ill have more

    Well I am COMPLETLY against smoking, but I don't want to bring up the DONT SMOKE issue or anything so...

    I know that if I did smoke (which will be when pigs fly) I would be too
    paranoid about sharing germs to share ciggarettes. I am against sharing
    things like that, drink and snack etc. In Kindergarden, I never liked
    Snack Time because the teacher had touched the lil gram bears and so I
    didn't eat it!

    I know, I'm a stubborn one...</font>

    its not stubborn, its just the way emet effects us - in many shapes and forms - strange enough, shareing germs is not really a fear factor with me, nor are germs in any form


    but alas - we are all different in some way or another
