To say "Enjoy your meal and to your health!" to a table of people...
Smacznego i na Zdrowie!

To ask my male cousins (children) if they want something I have...
Daæ ch³opak?/Daæ ch³opaki?

To ask an adult male if he wants to smoke a cigarette...
Chcesz paliæ?
Czy masz ochotê na paliæ?
Daæ paliæ?

Finally, the last time I was in Poland, a common response to Jak sie masz? was Spoko oko (sp?). Is this still current?

If any of these are correct, please let me know or if I need to correct grammar. Also, if there are shorter or slang versions, I would also appreciate it. Thank you.

zona:
Daæ ch³opaki?

should be
daæ wam, ch³opaki?

zona:
Daæ paliæ?

daæ paliæ sounds like African student Polish

chcesz zapaliæ?
zapalisz?
is better for offering someone a smoke

It may be really, really, really ambiguos, however (if it is a woman who asks this question) ...
