"What?" I just cannot understand how people take up this habit, they always describe their first experience as bad... so why continue?

Plus: You are basically putting fire to; tar, insect poison (The original use of nikotine) and plants... why the hell would you want to breath that stuff in?

I smoked cigarettes for 20 years. I recommend it to people who want to understand addiction. You can study nicotine addiction for a long time before you foul up your life.

It's common for teenagers and young adults to start smoking, especially if they're not living in the best of circumstances. I quit frequently and found it not too difficult to quit. However, the last few times I found it very difficult to quit (I was married) so I haven't started again. (12 years quit now) The brain habituates. The longer you smoke the harder it is to quit.

Quit early, quit often. :wink:

teflon

polymer fume fever

did you know that if a cigarette becomes contaminated with minute amount of many household chemicals - like a 1mm speck of 'teflon' (nonstick cookware) for instance - you get poisoning like severe influenza and suffer irreversible damage to your lungs.

People here don't seem to like cigarettes much, hihi. I do smoke spontaneously. I'm not addicted and I don't think I will be. I do like to smoke though. I don't really like the smell or the taste it leaves, but it's so soothing in a way. Every day at work when I feel stressed, or I just can't concentrate, I go out and smoke. 5 minutes and I feel great. There's just something about standing in the sunshine, blowing smoke. \0/

This reminds me of a Mark Twain quote.

Nasty and Fear at the same time. My Aunt and Grandmother smoke, and I hate what it does to them. My Grandmother is deaf so it's hard to convince her to stop, and my Aunt isn't right in the head (if you know what I mean).
