One when I get up with my coffee before my shower while I'm "dropping my kids off at school". Then one every 2 hours until bedtime. Terrible addiction 

I went from being a pack a day guy the past 2-3 years, to a quarter-of-a pack guy when im not high on dope. Living in Chicago a pack can run you $8-9.50...so now mostly when im high (heroin). I feel it intensifies the high and ciggarettes dont give me the same satisfaction and buzz they used to. I still freak out if I dont have smokes at my disposal but I can be fine only smoking 3-4 cigarettes a day. I mostly smoke at work, at school (community college) and before bed. I am the only 1 in my family who smokes, so when im at home and I come in from outside after a cigarette I really stink up the room and I dont feel comfortable doing that as I have enquiring young minds at home a 11 and 14 yr old brothers.
But you feel comfortable being high in front of your little brothers? Or are you a functional addict who only uses not to get sick? What would you say to them if they found your stuff? I ask because my younger ones lost all respect for the oldest one who was a heroin addict. On the other hand, because of what the younger ones have witnessed, I have no worries they will ever try hard drugs. So I guess it's a win win situation?
