As Clive points out above, it&#39;s a matter of the meaning you want to convey. The present simple and the present continuous have different meanings. You have to consider the entire sentence as a whole, especially the adverbs of time. These can guide you to the appropriate tense. _____ If it makes sense as a habit, you can use the present simple to express that habit. Do you smoke? Do you watch TV often? What do you do? (=What is your job?) Lucy goes to Chicago every summer. Walter always takes his vitamin pill at breakfast. Do you work at the New York Times? (=Is it your (permanent) habit to work (always) at the New York Times?)
