Workin on the quit. Started when I was 12 or 13, am now 25. I have a good future ahead of me, so I better get to quittin before I spoil it. Mom and Dad both smoke, so do their current partners. Mom and Stepdad used to point at me with cigs hanging out of hands "DON'T SMOKE, IT'S BAD FOR YOU!!" It never made sense to me back then, now I'm hooked and battling the quits.
The reason cigs are so high in price is because people are quitting the gov't needs to recoup their tax dollars from the quitters.
I'm working hard at quitting, but I still slip every now and then. Thinking about the patch or gum or some crap like that.
