I can speak as someone who previously smoked for a decade+ and then quit. I started because some friends who smoked offered me one and I was dumb enough to say yes. Horrible. But there was a very nice immediate head rush/high. And then that led to friends continuing to offer cigarettes and me continuing to be dumb. And then addiction takes hold and it goes from there.
I probably didn't actually BUY my own smokes until I'd already smoked more than a carton off of other people offering.
And it is a HARD drug to quit. Still to this day when I smell someone smoking a cig I immediately get the "awww fuck I could really use one of those right now" urges
Sent! It takes about 12-15 hours to beat it so I doubt we'll be able to get through it all today but let's go wooo!
