Cutting down on my smoking nearly killed me!

I smoke recreational tabacco on the occasion...

I also dont enjoy paying extra taxes, or fattening huge multinationals... but that's just me

I must agree that starting was a nasty process, but being part of the in crowd was something I was dumb enough to want.

If someone had told me then, that I would try and quit dozens and dozens of times and fail, I'd have told them to fuck off... who knew.

Same, teen peer pressure is what got me started. What really got me though was trying it and doing that "newbie" cough/hack crap. I mean everyone else who smoked wasn't hacking. But when then shit is first introduced to your system your body has that natural reaction.

Natch, instead of listening to my body, I said to myself, hah, I'm not going to let this little piece of rolled up paper make me cough like that. And as soon as I master that, I can quit at any time!

Oh yeah. Right.
