Not only my friends, generally, all people, they say that smoking is very addictive, once you get into it, u can never be stop or eventually will become your vice,. I started smoking, when i was in high school, i was thirteen then, i used to smoke different brands,(marlboro, pall mall, benson & hedges, west, etc.)at first, it was like an excitement, coz u know, first time, first experience, first smoke coming out from my mouth, i used to play with it like make a round shape (man, its quite hard, it took me sometime to master it). anyways, i just wanted to prove this thing, is not actually a pattern or like we have to believe in it, discipline and control is the key, smoking is not bad, one or two sticks in a day does'nt kill you, it just only to relax your mind. but making it as a habit like taking one pack in a day, then its not good, you are already hooked up or wasted.

thank you for the response, fyi, i do smoke also, just 3 or 4 sticks a day every after meal, and it really relaxes me, especially when i am full from heavy meal, it easily to get me "burp" (excuse me... hehe) i really appreciate your response.

I have to think it is additive but also habit. If you notice people who quit even after a few years still feel the urge to smoke even everyonce in a while. I feel that smoking is just like any other addiction. Look at a person with a drinking problem years later they have to keep there will power to not drink when times get rough. or they go to a place that has other people drinking same with smoking. My mom,dad, father in-law all quit smoking within the last few years and all of them will still tell you to this day that they still want a smoke every so often.

i have to agree with you kilani, that smoking is just only a habit, as i mentioned on my previous post, if you have control and discipline to yourself u can never be hook into it. just glad that for you, you are only doin' it as a form of habit.
