I used to smoke cigarettes
When I was a teenager (in the 1970's) I started smoking because many adults and teenagers smoked and I wanted to fit in. NOT smoking wasn't a trend yet. It was generally accepted that people smoked.
I didn't smoke when my friends started smoking (around 12 or 13); I waited a couple more years until I felt more left out (age 15, I think).
But, after that, I didn't stop. I dedicated myself to unashamed smoking.
I always smoked Winston cigarettes eventually landing on the last brand I smoked...Winston Ultra-Light 100's.
About 10 years ago I finally quit cold turkey. I'm glad I quit before the most recent regulations have been put in place about where to smoke. It would have made me mad being told what to do.
