1. What age were you when you started smoking?
18
2. What age are you now?
29
3. How has smoking effected you medically?
Decreased lung capacity
4. How many cigarettes/packs do you smoke a day, on average?
Half to one pack a day
About 5 or 6 times. Currently pretty much quit since July 15th, other than a few cheats, maybe once or twice a month.
6. What brand do you smoke?
Used to be Marlboro Smooth, now when I cheat, its DH's Marlboro Lights
7. How has it effected people around you?
A bit of ostracization - having to go outside to smoke, irritation from coworkers when I would take a smoke break, even though it was my regularly scheduled break.
8. Do you regret smoking? If not, BE HONEST. I miss it, I liked it. It just costs WAY too much. I have other things to spend money on.
ETA 9) I think I started because my boyfriend at the time smoked, and his friends smoked, and I wanted to be "cool". After that, it's because I liked it. I've started up every time I've quit because I like it.
Honestly, I think I'll fail this time too....and it's ok, because I'll just keep trying, and someday, I'll quit for good.
If the question arises WHY I like it - I like it because nicotine is a drug, and it helps with my chronic pain, it helps my mind calm down, and it helps settle me down. I like the taste of some brands, and I like the smell. If pipes tastes as good as they smelled, I'd probably be an addicted pipe smoker.
As it is, I settle for cigarettes.
