"I started smoking when I was 13. Both of my parents smoked and I felt it was a cool thing to do. I now wonder if I was addicted before I even started, through exposure to second passive smoke from my parents. Now, I am only 35 and realize I have been smoking for 22 years (how sad is this?). There was a time in the early years of smoking that I could take them or leave them. That time has long since past and now I rely on the nicotine in every aspect of my life. I cannot function without the drug. I am an addict. Even when I wake in the morning, coughing so bad I cannot even catch my breath, I am looking for my next fix. I am currently gathering my strength to try and quit again for the 7th time. If I had it to do all over again, nicotine would not be a part of my life. Nicotine controls you and ultimately kills you. I find it interesting that our government outlaws drugs, such as cocaine and marijuana, and yet, nicotine is just as dangerous as either of these drugs maybe more so. I hope any young person considering smoking would take the time to expose him or herself to medical evidence and to people who have smoked. DONT START!!"
