i have only been a smoker for about 2.5 years and it wasnt the whole entire time either. I started when i was 19, depressed, and my parents didn't listen to me for too many years because all they do is work and left us alone with no interaction watsoever, technically what they did is considered child neglect for most of my life. But anyway here is what it came down to smoking was caused by my depression, and lack of outlet for my anger and despair. I started then quit because i was in boot cmp in the navy and had to quit for 2 months, it wasnt that bad cus i wasnt really addicted and forgot about cigarettes with all that yelling. Now after bootcamp i eventually started smoking again cus in A school you aren't allowed to do SHIT. fucking liberty policies for going out and had to sign out and all that bullshit. Then i went home and was a smoker for a while and then got sent over to japan. Now this was shit too because guess what liberty policies and constant out to see, so the only favorable activities were smoking and working otu, which i got entirely obsessed with. Now i am out and i quit for good, after smoking a little bit for a while, but it lost its taste, because i smoked socially in the navy, because i wasn't allowed to do shit. I seriously believe that smoking starts socially due to bad parenting, then just keeps going, but even so I quit cus I don't want to let the fact that i have bad parents ruin the rest of my life. So now I just work out for hours and drink water and breathe air instead of smoke.
