only started smoking at age 30
See, that always bewilders me. I had my first cigarette when I was 12; I was a regular smoker by the time I was 14. Obviously, you don't make the wisest decisions at that age. I just can't imagine starting when I was 30. Hell, I can't imagine starting when I was in my 20's.
Well, when I started, there was no intention to start smoking, that was the last thing I wanted to do, even though in a house of four people, I was the only non smoker, when it came to try my first pure cigarette, it had zero effect on me, but felt comfortable. I guess five years plus of breathing in side stream smoke made me sort of desensitized to the stuff, maybe even hooked on the smoke, to remember, side stream smoke is unfiltered.
I started because of weed, up to that point I had never tried it, and was curious, a few weeks nand with no weed about I was given a cigarette, which immediately sated the aid required to relax. After that I felt I was part of the family, I was with the smokers, no longer apart.
Everywhere I have worked, there has been a majority of people that smoked, I used to find it unfair in the military that smokers could have smoke breaks every hour, whereas non smokers had to carry on working., even in NBC black exercises, smokers got to take the face welly off to have a fag break. Always have I seen up until the past couple of years, special circumstances seemed to reign for those that smoked, now I am in, the smoking crowd, we are the pariahs of society, just my luck hahaha.
