Russian term or phrase: Я курил здесь и буду курить
Здравствуйте. Помогите, пожалуйста, правильно перевести это выражение. Наверное очень просто, но я сомневаюсь в правильности своего варианта.

Это из разговора курильщика и активистов, которые попросили его не курить в общественном месте.

- I've smoked here and I will smoke/continue (или keep) smoking here?

Explanation:
My interpretation. By his words it isn't clear whether he's always smoked at this spot or just for the past several minutes -- all that's clear is that he doesn't want to move.
