Disgusting habit, if you ask me - would never even cross my mind to get started, and it costs a *heck* of a lot of money! What do you mean I used to smoke... :p
Okay. For a brief time. I'm sure you all remember back to the days when you were fifteen, always being told, "don't start smoking, *that* will kill you. And if I ever catch you doing drugs, *I* will kill you." Of course, being the (somewhat) teenage rebel as I was at the time - and that was the year I had to take a break from horseback riding, so I didn't really have anything better to do - I had to try. Started with these flower cigarettes from Poland. <g> Then onto the "regulars" (maybe just a few every week), but after a couple of months, when I started to feel "the urge" to have one, I wanted to quit.
I looked back at the incident I managed to get really sick after trying a different brand - and I remembered that. So, to "scare myself" from getting addicted, I think I smoked three or four of that same brand, and I got so sick I swear you could have seen a green pelican.
So, never again after that. It's been a long time since then, and I'm just really glad I can say that my life doesn't depend on cigarettes.
