How often do you smoke?

Seriously, being a smoker, doesn't mean that you need a cig every 20 mins. My dad did that but he decided to quit cold turkey one day and hasn't had a smoke in 15 years. I smoke about 5 times a month, usually socially. or when i've had a bad time i get a pack and smoke but one after that. Its not like im dying to have one every 5 seconds. why do people always misinform everyone about that?
