Cigarette Smokers: How and Why?

[luvkicks]

although i didnt read any of the replies in here, and my personal story isn't important, i will say i used to smoke two packs a day

for those actually interested in quitting, not just talking about it, this book will change your life--

like i said two packs a day, my addictive nature is like

. this book= truth.

and if you haven't heard the song 'the skinny' by atmosphere, go listen to it

Smoking is such a sheep activity

i started smoking when i was %$*#@* up. my friend said it would get me on a better level, so i tried it and it did. even though i coughed the first time trying to inhale it, i felt a little rush. i dont see why people think you only smoke cause its "cool". i smoke when im really stressed, nicotine is a chemical that helps with that. they dont just put pencil shavings in cigs

i was on probation for a bit and couldn't burn trees so i started to smoke newports, i was smokin em fairly often but since i've been able to smoke trees again i haven't even bought a pack. i'll still bum a cig off someone once in a blue moon though.

I had a newport when I was 12 from my cousin.  When I was 13 my friend came up on an entire pack of newports and we smoked the entire pack in one day.  I swore off cigarettes when I was 14 and my mom got breast cancer but once I was 16 and a jr in highschool I started buying packs here and there, bumming loosies and such and before I knew it I was addicted.  Not once did I ever "try to be cool".  When I was younger, in my school, cigarettes weren't cool at all. 

you cereal?

Been smoking on and off for the past 5 years. 
Pack a week. It relaxes me. If I don't have one I get very cranky.

Driving and smoking go hand in hand for me.

Im about to quit tho. Im starting to see changes in my face. I want to look healthy, and cigs aren't helping.

i've battled with it for several years now.  Started smoking when I was 15.  I'll be 31 this year.  I like to say that I don't really smoke, but my dentist's description is probably more accurate.  I'm the bum that doesn't buy packs and just mooches off friends.  I'll go days sometimes days without smoking.  I only really smoke when I'm around my friends that do (since I have access to mooching stoges).  Usually I'll smoke with my boys, cause we are drinking and cigs + booze go hand in hand, and then its maybe 1-3 cigs a night.  The times when I will actually have a pack on me and smoke more regularly is when I'm in Vegas (cause I'm drinking from the minute I wake up) or when I'm golfing.

One thing I dont understand is people who smoke trees but dont smoke cigs.  That first cig after a bowl/blunt/jay/whatever just elevates the high to the next level.

I need to cut it out completely sooner than later.  The wife and I will probably be trying for kids in the near future and I dont want to be bringing a child into this world and have them be subjected to my 2nd hand smoke.

I started off smoking green in 11th and HATED cigs and black smoke so I told myself I would never go to them. But by time I got down here(college) I smoked a black with my boys as a way to just chill outside and chop it up. It would be about 3 of us to a black

but now I smoke about a black a day because of the stresses of classes, personal life, etc. Its more so a stress reliever to me. I dont smoke when I go home though. Its just peaceful as hell to sit outside and smoke and look off into the distance. People told me I should switch to cigs because they aren't AS bad as blacks but I cant stand the smell of cigarettes or the taste.

I'm a sophomore in college....in the mountains of VA by the way.

@ me for picking up this bad habit
