    Started smoking cigarettes when I was 16.

    I was perfectly aware how shitty the tobacco industry is, how addictive nicotine is, all its harmful effects, and how gross of a money sink it is. I did it anyway because I thought it looked relaxing.

      Me too- but for an even stupider reason. I thought it would be cool to learn to blow smoke rings.

      I did learn to blow smoke rings.

      Quit in 2000 and don’t regret it.
