I smoked from the time I was 16 up until 2 weeks ago when I switched to a vape, which is a great alternative in my opinion.
My mom smoked, as well as the group of friends I hung out with, it was cool back in highschool. At least we thought it was.
I quit because I wanted too, I was tired of hacking and coughing, not to mention the cost of cigs here in washington.
when I see/hear comments like smokers are stupid, or they shouldn't be able to smoke outside in public places it does make me want to start again just out of spite. Smokers have been relegated to having to smoke 20 feet away public entrances, can't smoke inside, get dirty looks and rude comments about their habits. Folks need to get off their soapboxes, smokers for the most part do their best not to offend others with their habit, so cut them some slack!
