Initially people start doing it to fit in and look cool, then the nicotine's tentacles creep around your brain and hook them in.

I tried it once and never look back, it's the worst recreational thing i ever do, the second being alcohol. I'm more intrigued on why people even start to discover and smoke this stuff, they got to be the most masochistic person in history.

I lot of my friends growing up smoked. Like, my best friends. Most of my family, my mom and all of my older siblings, all smoked.

When I was something like fourteen or some shit, I took one drag and thought it was the most disgusting shit I had ever tasted on my life and an immensely unpleasant experience. Never touched them again, never even wanted to. It's honestly one that baffles me.

Edit, typos

I rarely smoke when I drink a bit too much and I always regret it the next morning because my clothes stink, my hands stink and my mouth tastes like a damn ash tray.

I used to get a hankering for cigarettes once in a blue moon after college. I kept a pack of Marlboros for such occasions. Two drags into one of those loathsome little death sticks and I remembered why I never smoke the damn things. Haven’t smoked a cigarette in 6 years and I can count the number of cigarettes I’ve smoked in my life on one hand.

Humans are weird.
