I absolutely without a doubt would never ever start smoking again if I could do it over. And how I wish I could. I started when I was 9 years old and have been smoking since. I've tried everything and still haven't been able to quit.
The good side: I LOVE smoking after I eat.
Also when I have a beer or glass of wine. It just seems to give an extra feeling of satisfaction.
Also useful when I'm feeling really stressed out.
The bad side: I wake up every morning feeling like somebody sh*t in my mouth.
I worry all the time about getting cancer(although, let's be fair, there are so many things people aren't worried about getting cancer from that surround us every day; pesticides, hormones in dairy products, pollution, etc.). 2 of my relatives dies of it last January, and they didn't even smoke!
I worry that my smoking will influence my kids to smoke, even though they say they hate it and will never start.
Having to worry about things like long flights and not being able to smoke.
Having smokers breath really sucks.
Lots more..........be all and end all is if you haven't started smoking, DON'T START.
