I had my first cigarette at the age of 16. I was curious. My friend and I were at a girl friend’s house and we smoked what we could off a butt on the ground- gross, I know! But it didn’t take much for me to start up the habit that I held dear to me for 10 years. I loved cigarettes- and honestly, I would smoke one right one if it wasn’t for my pride of throwing everything out the door and what I worked hard for the last 1 1/2 years! Continue reading →
