Why do people start smoking?
Hi Buddha, I started smoking at thirteen from peer pressure all my friends were were smoking. You were cool if you smoked back in the day (the Marlboro man always looked good). Yes I am a smoker & have tried everything to quit from gum, patches, Welbutron (anti-depressant drug also to help quit smoking), acupuncture, Nictrol nasal spray (this however worked for a year & half until my sister-in-law & best friend passed away) one puff lead to 1 cigarette which lead to a carton. I have a chronic cough from smoking now & most of my friends are trying to quit. My physician said it’s almost like withdrawing from heroin this is the worst habit ever. Not to mention the Surgeon Generals warnings & government have mandated people quit due lung cancer, bronchial problems etc. Have a good day. :0) Additional Details: I am going to see a hypnotist to try & kick this filthy habit for good, besides I am ready to quit that’s half the battle.
