• Are you a smoker ?
  Yes
• What do you smoke ?
  Salmon, short ribs, brisket, chicken
• How much do you smoke ?
  Depends on how many people I am making it for
• How long have you been smoking ?
  Almost 2 decades,
• Why do you smoke ?
  (Is something eating you inside or is it just plain physical addiction ?)
  Tastes great, I could be addicted I guess, but BBQ smoked brisket is that good.
• What started you ?
  It was a nice spring day, when I was invited to a friends place for a cookout and her dad was a big time grilled and smoked specialties chef. I got hooked.
• Did your parents/other people around you smoke ?
  Yeah, I have some notoriety for making a mean rack
• What does smoking do for you ?
  Oh god, nirvana
• Are you okay or angry with yourself because of this addiction ?
  Love it, although we have not yet established if it is an addiction or just a strong preference for tasty food
• Do you think it is still fashionable and makes you look cool ?
  It’s beyond small time concepts like fashion or coolness.
• Do you care if you die a painful death, young ?
  I am old now so I guess I can’t answer that.
• Do you want to quit ?
  Heck no
• Have you tried ?
  Nope
• How many times ?
  Never
• What have you tried ?
  Not applicable,
  But while we are on the trying topic. I have tried smoking other stuff, but shellfish does not work well. Bison as great but takes longer, and a lamb rack crown is amazing but I have not mastered it yet.
• Did it work and did you succeed ?
  Smoking Shellfish no, rack of lamb.., initial success but there is more to learn.
• What do you think will be most effective in your case ?
  Grassed, chef quality prime rib
• What would be good incentive for you to quit smoking ?
  Get me a chef who can smoke ribs on demand.

Thanks for taking the time for the humourous reply, X2.

Two questions for you:

Have you ever smoked the cursed swine before ?
If you didn’t, why not ?
If you did, how did you like it ?
