Smokers And Past Smokers- I have some questions for a project.

[PepsNick]

Well, thank you everyone! The project went great, I got a 90. I WOULD have gotten a 100... but my partner didn't do the log book (which is 10%) and decided to tell me at the last minute. Oh well, still got an A!

Thanks, and for those of you trying to quit... you're in my prayers!

8. Do you regret smoking? If not, BE HONEST.
YES! I hate i picked up that NASTY habit
9. Why did you start smoking?
I was young, & 2 teenage girls were hanging out smoking, so i guess they thought it would be fun to "teach"me how to smoke!

And how i quit, I pictured a pile of leaves burning & smoldering, and how stupid it would be for me to go over to them and start sucking in all that smoke from them,...... but thats EXACTLY what i had been doing the whole time so dumb!!

I see im late with this, but maybe will help someone.....

Reminds me of a song...wanna hear it, hear it goes

Puff puff puff that cigarette, puff puff puff untill you puff yourself to death,
