CEGarza Hi my Name is carmen. I started smoking when I was 12 years old ( iam three weeks away from my 35th bday). I once quit smoking for three years but started up again 5 years ago due to a family death. I wasn't a heavy smoker but still felt slaved to them. I vow to never smoke again, this time I mean it. I have a 10 year old son who believes cigs. are drugs and was very disappointed when he saw a box in my car. I promised him I would not smoke anymore and I will keep my promise.
