I am a smoker and personally dont really like it too much anymore. Alas it is now a habit.. I actually used to hate smoking but forced myself to try to fit in with the crowd at boarding school, i was a highly sporting aspie, rare i know but being at boarding school there are not many ways to follow interests, so sport became one of them as i was able to use the facilities often on my own and would lose myself in such sports which led me on to being doog enough to play at county level in many areas and almost national level. However the smoking was again just away to try to fit in, i would gag, even throw up afterwards, but i persisted just to try to fit in... I remember the exact day the ""headspins"" stopped, from that day on i was hooked.. In earlier life it wasnt so bad on the body but later on it has caught up as has the side effects of putting my body through intense sporting rituals. Its an odd one now as i enjoy it but i dont, the paradox of said drug.. However despite my regret ever starting as it seemed to make no difference anyway to my social circle, i believe everybody has a right to that decision.
