Im 23 years old now. I wasn't really
heavy smoker, more mediocre/average: averaged 15-20 cigs a day (including friday when I would smoke 2-3 packs per night, but in weekdays I only smoked like 5-10 cigs).
1) The first ever cigarrete I had when I was 13, but didnt start smoking regularly until 2 years after that. I started smoking regularly by the time I also started drinking booze, so at 15. It took a long time before the cigs gave me even slightly pleasant high , it was best friend who had already been smoking since 12 and who he convinced me its an OK thing to do.
2) I smoked mainly Sparta (probably unknown local brand) and, when I had the money, Davidoff. Always smoked the longest available pack cause theyre cheaper per hit
.
3) Next month it will be exactly 2 years that I am nonsmoker.
I quit cigs cold turkey and it was my first try ever too. Didnt really felt much physical wd, just irritability and increased appetite. Not because I would have strong willpower nor physical resistance to tobacco addiction, I managed it easily because by the time I wanted to quit I radically changed my whole lifestyle, and I cut down on booze significantly.
Im sure that if I didnt cease drinking for a month back then, I wouldnt have quit cigs either.
Nowadays I still
do smoke tobacco actually, but only as a mixture with weed in joints, and since I smoke pot rarely I probably smoke like 1 cig per 3 months
Forgot to say: DO NOT SMOKE, its completely useless drug with one of the worst pleasure to damage ratio out there...
