    My love affair with nicotine has spanned almost twenty years, and let me tell you, it's like a beautiful mistress with a really nasty attitude. You know you shouldn't get involved in the first place, but the allure of the taboo nature of the relationship is too much, so you go for it, thinking you can tame her eventually, and live with the repercussions thereafter.
    The first few encounters are exciting, as you sneak around with your new found secret, feeling the rush it gives you each time you partake. Soon you find yourself thinking about it when alone, feeling anxious and needy when she's not around.
    When you sate your desperation once again, allowing yourself to fall into her warm, blue-gray embrace and feel the complete relaxation and contentment she provides, you forget all about the nervous tension and shame she's the cause of and choose to bask in the moment.
    Soon the financial drain and foul stench she leaves you with become small prices to pay compared with facing the prospect of life without her. Her absence would cause massive amounts of pain and longing that would be just too much to bear, so you continue on, a slave to a temporary lover that somehow has become permanent...

    Or maybe I'm just trying to look cool?

    my friend said "i have nothing to do"

    and when he can't think about anything, after his meal or work breaks or even during the walking...

    he wanna do something during that time and it is only 'smoke' popped in his head.

    It relieves stress. That's how I started heavily smoking.
    Then I became a pothead and well...well then I finally started having sex with my current girlfriend and I quit smoking. :D

    Sometimes I wish i still smoked because we get into fights a lot but eh.

    i don't smoke and i think i will never
    many people smoke just to show off to create a different image
    i don't have the exact word how to describe it
    it has become like a trend
    even girls smoke nowadays

    I'm gonna get flamed for this seeing as how harsh some people are to smokers on here. But I enjoy it, i like the taste and the smell. I had to stop for 3 months because I was really ill (non smoking related illness before you all start). And as soon as i was better, back i started.

    i smoke, and this is how i see it

    you start becuase your stupid at the time and dont know better

    get addicted

    by the time you decide to stop you have some responsibility's in your life which can be stressfull so you smoke a cig when stessed out, not having one makes you more stressed

    never ending circle unless you have great will power which some people find

    i recommend watch the film called "the secret" then try stop ;) you will have a better chance

    eg
    i showed my mum the video, now she wants to start a business

    first idk why they start they just do, (i smoke myself) then you begin to become an addict. Nicotine receptors in your brain go crazy for the nicotine if you do not have it in your system for too long. google it ;)

    Smoking is kind of addiction. It is very easy for non-smokers (people who never smoked a cigarette before) to live their lifetime without single smoke. But when it gets addicted, it just turns a great deal of addiction.

    I am non-smoker after all.
