When if ever, was the first time you smoked a cigarette?

Question

Why did you try it? How long did you smoke? If you still smoke, have you ever seriously tried to quit?

2. Do you chew tobacco? How often? How long have you been doing it and have you ever tried to stop? By what methods?

Answer 1

I used dip (moist smokeless tobacco) for 20 years. I quit using an herbal snuff called Hooch Snuff (http://www.hoochsnuff.com/).
I still use the herbal snuff whenever I get a craving.

Answer 2

I did when I was 15 with my best friend to this day. I am now 29. We both admitted we didnt inhale back then lol! But I would say around 17 I started smoking off and on never had trouble stopping. I never had to try to stop I just didnt desire it at times. Back then when I did truely smoke and actually inhale smoke I would only have 2 cigs a day at most. Lately though I have been smoking the most I have ever smoked and for the longest duration as well. Probably stress/boredom related. I guess you could say I am a full fledged smoker now and I dont know how it will be when I try to quit. I know I will be able to cut down when I get more of busier life but for now I guess its a bad hobby.

Answer 3

In high school when I was 16 because I stupidly gave into peer pressure. I still smoke a little, but only socially when I'm out drinking with friends. I'm trying to not smoke it all though. It is a horrible habit and I don't want to end up with health problems years down the road!

Answer 4

I first tried to smoke when I was about 12, my sister and I got on top of the barn, she was trying to teach me to inhale. She said swallow the smoke, I did and like to choked to death. I finally learn to smoke, and I still do. I have quit a couple of times and I felt good. But got upset and smoked one then it was right back to smoking. I used the Nicoderm patch, it works real good. And I do plan to quit again next time for good, that is the plan. I hate smoking, but it is really addictive. There is nothing cool about it.

Answer 5

i was 16 and my friends did it and i wasnted to try it and when i did i realized it was nasty and never tried again.. My husband smokes and he has started after he got out of the army. he has smoked for 9 yrs or so and he is seriously trying now and it is hard. he is very grumpy at times when he needs one. he says if your trying to quit smoking when you think you need a smoke eat sunflower seeds or chew gum that helps and takes your mind off it for a few mins

Answer 6

I first tried smoking when I was 10. I smoked a whole ciggaret..but that was the firts and only time in my life when I did it. My dad has a hole in his right lung from smoking. I'm against it.

Answer 7

I started when I was 15. I was in school (Catholic) and my best friend brought some Virginia slims to school with her. we smoked them in the bathroom and then while waiting for the bus. I wa sick for two days but I was also hooked. I'm soon to be 40 and I'm still lighting up. I did quit one time for a year and a half but stress got hold of me and I started again.

If you are thinking about starting, DON'T.

Answer 8

I have never smoked a cigarette. I have endured intense second hand smoke my entire life. My dad smoked heavily, and now my husband does.

So my lungs are probably almost as bad.
