question for daily smokers?

Question

whats the story behind how you got addicted to smoking and how did it ever begin?

dont worry, im not a smoker, thats why im asking this question or else i would have figured it out as to how people generally begin.


i hate it when people dont answer the question and over evaluate what they think is going on when they are completely wrong.

Answer 1

It's almost how people who's parents are alcoholics, become alcoholics themselves. My dad smoked and so do I (he's quit smoking for some time now). I started because I was chronically depressed and suicidal as a teenager and the way my logic worked at the time was that smoking kills and I wanted to kill myself quite slowly. It also helped me not to be so depressed all the time, too. So, in a way, smoking has actually saved my life because if it wasn't for that, I'd probably off'd myself quickly a long time ago.

Answer 2

I smoke so I can stop working before retirement. I will get sick and start collecting disability, so I do not have to wait until 65 to get my gonvernment check. I started while just going out, drinking and dancing. I really started smoking heavy once I was in the Army, it helped kill time and they always said, smoke them if you got them. But as I got older, I have cut back, but still not able to quit.

Answer 3

Everybody in my family smokes so I guess I just picked it up because i've always been around it. When I was little I swore I would never smoke and damn if I didn't start. Now I wish I never did.

Answer 4

Answer 5
