Do you smoke?

[Vyk]

I have allergies and asthma caused by allergies and smoking so it'd be a terrible idea for me to start. I've tried it, I even purposely tried to get addicted to see how easy it would be to stop so I could scoff at people who act like its such a hard thing to do.

Wait, what?

I grew up around nothing but smokers. My dad, all siblings, 90% of my cousins and aunts and uncles. I always considered them weak. I got tired of hearing smokers tell people not to smoke. And act like they shouldn't be smoking, but keep doing, and pretend to be unable to stop. Also grew up with a few alcoholics. Brother especially bad, with the typical story of losing his job and family and crap. So much addiction in my family. Alcohol itself is non-addictive, and once I was old enough to drink and un-demonize it, I realized just how weak my brother was. So I also wanted to know how weak the rest of my family was. I knew cigarettes were legitimately addictive, I wanted to know how much. I needed to know how weak my family was. Or if there was a real problem with cigarettes. Scoff at me if you want, but it was something that had haunted me since childhood and I really had to know. I tried marijuana for the same reason. To see if it was rightfully demonized or if the pot-heads I knew were just weak. But yeah. I smoked half a pack in a night, and felt no future desire. So either I just don't have an addictive personality or they're not half as addictive as people pretend they are
