I smoked from about the age of 13 till I was 35. Then I quit, cold turkey, and never touched one again; not once.
I did love smoking. I can remember life as a teenager, smoking while fishing, smoking while playing Asteroids. A Marlboro hanging on the end of the foosball table, Toto on the radio. Such a great feeling. I miss it a lot.
I dream about smoking, even now, many years later. I know it's bad, really bad, and I'm grateful that I did stop it. When I wake up from the dreams, I'm regretful that I started up again; then I realize, when the fog of sleep dissipates, that it was a dream.
I think when I get old, I'll start again. Regardless of the nastiness of the thing, and the deleterious effect on health, it's part of my psyche. I'm happy that my kids, all college students at this moment, don't do it.
If you're a smoker, or if you quit, feel free to comment here. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
