My VERY first was when I was in 5th grade, when a pack cost $0.50, and I was able to buy them on my own (claiming they were for my Mom) at a local gas station, and they were Newports. I never could get used to smoking tree bark after that.

Stopped 14 years ago and never looked back.
P.S. It's not good to say quit. Puts too much pressure on ya IMO.

How I'll feel in tears years or so, I can't say, but I love cigarettes. I've got asthma, which isn't at all helped, but it's an issue I'm willing to put up with for my precious smokes. I love that feeling of needing a smoke, and having one. You get that itch, and you know that all you have to do to scratch is to reach in your pocket and pull one out. I wouldn't get that craving if I didn't smoke, but I also wouldn't appreciate happiness if it wasn't for sadness.
Besides, as far as I'm concerned, living as long as I possibly can shouldn't be my primary concern. Enjoying the time I do have should. So, I'll gladly trade a few years to do something that makes me happy. In fact I kind of like the self-destructive nature of smoking. So many people are running themselves ragged, just to be "healthy". Literally running themselves ragged, eating inferior "reduced fat" foods, plastic surgery, worrying about saturated fats and real sugar and red meat and gluten and god knows what else, all to squeeze just a few more years out of an existence that they're making less desirable because of it. But not me. I'm actively shortening my life. Every cig I light up is like a middle finger to societal common sense, and this pleases me.

^too true. Non smokers will never get to experience that level of joy you get when you're fiending for a cigarette and you finally have one.

Booze can **** your life up in far more ways than cigs. All I have to worry about is my health.
