paraphrasedI wish I hadn't started smoking. I'm 19, I only started in December, and now I kinda wish I hadn't. I'm not ADDICTED. I won't kill someone if I don't walk to bp and buy my next pack of camel menthol lights, but I know I am addicted....It's not so much the nicotine that gets you when you're young. You don't want to get out of that social circle. Whenever I go a few days without a pack, I still end up bumming - so I can stand there with my coworkers, or friends, and smoke, too. I like smoke, literally - the swirl it makes as you make the drag, the puff that billows. That's the addiction.....
- what starts as something you like to do will turn into something you have to do, and its so gradual you won't notice for a while. And once you do, its a tad to late to be easy to stop. I don't mentally regret starting, yet, but I feel I might eventually and that worries me, at night when I have time to reflect on myself and see these things.
I just know that 99% of the time its the same adult story that sounds canned and feels like people guard don't want you to have fun. My story is just me....
Go for it.
yeah , I read fine, you are addicted, you know it but you haven't accepted it fully, nor do you realise that it IS the nicotine that snared you. The only out is to quit cold turkey and never look back. It's a wonderful day when you realise you need never smoke again. Read Mr Carr's book.
