I grew up in a smoking family, my grandparents smoked, my parents both smoked, and it seemed like every other adult around me also smoked cigarettes or used some form of tobacco. Until i was 15 years old i didn’t swear i didn’t drink or do drugs and i definitely did not smoke cigarettes! My Parents both smoked in the house my whole life and i remember thinking i don’t want to be addicted to those nasty smelly things EVER! Well all it took was a few months into age 15 and my first job at a convenience store for me to smoke my first cigarette. And my friends told me that horrible sickness and headache with extreme dizziness and lightheadedness would go away i just had to smoke more. Smoke It Away! So i smoked probably 10 packs in just over 2 weeks feeling sick the whole time thinking to myself why am i even doing this? By the age of 17 i was a pack a day smoker and occasionally i’d have a dip or use smokeless tobacco like cain of snuff or chewing tobacco. I remember thinking at age 18 i’m never quitting i love smoking! By age 22 i’m smoking 2 packs of menthol cigarettes a day and a can of chew a week. At this point i thought i would try to quit as the prices rose on tobacco and i was young and broke! Well after a few months of trying to kick it cold turkey if you will i was smoking just the same amount and chewing a can or 2 a week now. Age 23 i went to my doctor to ask for help on quitting smoking , they gave me the whole spiel on how much better my health would get at this point i was diagnosed with asthma and copd and had to use various inhalers several times a day just to breathe all because of smoking. They gave me a wellbutrin well i have also have a lot of mental health issues and all the wellbutrin did was make cigarettes taste bad and make my depression and other issues worse. After that we tried chantix after 5 days i was becoming super depressed on the brink of suicidal thoughts so yea SCREW CHANTIX! I Went next to the nicotine patches, gum, and all the ot
