Answer 3

I started in High School when I started drinking and having sex. It feels good to smoke after both. I get light-headed from the cig, and that adds to the pleasure.

Why do I still smoke? Because my boyfriend does, because I'm addicted to the "lightheadedness," and because I need to keep my hands busy at all times...which means I don't smoke much, but when I'm in the car I always have one.
