Answers:
Finally!!
a legitimate question about smoking thats not a tirade about how stupid i am for smoking.
I have been smoking cigarettes for 26yrs.
in the past few years i have wished i never started smoking.
i remember when i was a teen i said to myself...i won't smoke when theres no one around..only outside with my friends....
then i said i would quit when it went to $1.00 a pack...they were.58 cents when i started.
i started when i was 15 and now i'm 41...i have a horrible cough that i cant get rid of....i run out of breath walking down the street...
i used to have an awesome singing voice when i was younger..i used to play guitar and sing in a band....now...if i can sing a song without losing my breath and coughing my brains out i'm happy.
within 5 minutes after i wake up my body needs nicotine.
i do curse the day i began and it makes me sad to see young people smoke...i dont say anything because i know they wont listen...i didnt.
thank you for asking your question without preaching and making me feel like an outcast because i smoke like so many people do.
they don't understand that many of us especially the ones who have been smoking for many years regret starting and we don't need anyone telling us what we are doing to ourselves..we know the score already.
Fortunately, I avoid that set of problems altogether
