Hi Rio, let me tell you a short story. I started smoking when I was 14. I remember the fun head rush and I also remember coughing and choking and having to learn to smoke. I was pretty cool. I smoked when I could get them, usually from machines, friends or my mother's purse. As I grew older I bought my own, went from a couple a day to a pack a day then over a pack a day. I smoked for 44 years. I was in an accident and in the hospital awhile and actually quit for 4 years. (I guess I'm giving away my age here). Anyway, I became bored, angry, depressed, whatever. I chose to start smoking again. I can't say why, just that I remembered how I loved smoking and how satisfying it felt. There's something in the brain that gives you that pleasure feeling when you smoke. Anyway, I had to relearn again. Yeah, I got the buzz for awhile. I was smoking a half a cig at a time and only smoked 4 or 5 a day. Needless to say within a couple of months I was back up to 15 or 16 a day, coughing and hacking again. Most of my friends don't smoke so I was the only one who had to go outside for a puff and I stunk all the time. I wasn't fooling anyone but myself. Lucky for me I found out about e-cigs. I still smoke a cig once in a while but get no rush. Believe me, you don't want to mess around with nicotine if you aren't addicted. It's just so damn hard to give up. When you're young you never think about what it will be like on your body after all those years of putting that crap into it. It's hell and it never goes away. Please think it over and give up the smoke. Try the e-cig if you must, I do think it's better for you although that's not been proven. Good luck with your decision.
