How right you are, Madam. Indeed, this ex smoker started smoking ciggies as an adolescent for precisely that reason, to be cool and impress chicks.
I soon realized I didn't need a smoke to be cool or impress chicks but it was too late. I was hooked.
My fist taste of cigarette was when I was 3 or 4 years old, really.
I smoked my first whole ciggie at the young age of 6 when I accompanied an older boy to the store to buy some feed for his pigs.
My first pack was acquired from a vending machine at the movie theater when I was 12 and smoked slowly
to last me a week until the next weekend when I'd hit the movies again and buy another pack.
But by the time I was 14 years old I had to take an MTA bus and transfer to another to get to school.
There was a mom and pop cafe at the transfer spot and since I was already working on weekends and after school
I could afford a little daily colada and a pack of smokes. One PAD at age 14!
I'd also save my lunch money, go without lunch to buy smokes.
Before approaching other kids, especially the ladies, I'd fire one up. Forty-five years later I was a 4PAD smoker and regret it.
I do have a pix of me in edwardian suit and tie smoking my corncob at age 14 that I like...Very debonair but stupid!
By age 15, I didn't need a smoke to impress anybody, I was cool. But I kept on smoking.
Now, I really don't give a hoot whether anybody thinks I'm cool or not,
I vape because I like it and I'm addicted to nicotine.
Anybody that tells you that they aren't addicted to nicotine,
if they vape nicotine containing juice is fooling themselves.
I'm sorry if this, the truth offends anybody.
But only because you're offended not because I said it like it is.
Now I'm gonna get my fix
Hazy
