Description

so, someone asked me to fill out the about me section......

relevent to this particular site: smoked for a little over 12 years, smoked on average 3/4 to a pack a day (and that is accounting for the times i wasa 2 pack a day smoker and then went to being only a quarter pack or less smoker for a while), I quit because I was feeling the effects of smoking ( the cost effects, the effects on my breathing, my lung capacity, everything smelling like an ashtray, my teeth being filthy, my skin feeling like sandpaper, my skin smelling bad, etc. etc, that and i just grew tired of smoking, i didn't like smoke in my face, it was burning my eyes, even when i was smoking i found myself dodging the smoke) 

Also, when i first started smoking i always thought i never wanted to be one of those people that stunk like cigarettes all the time and you could smell their car from a mile away, smelling like a rolling wet ashtray. i started to see my life turning that way and i wasn't going to have it. Basically, as ridiculous as this is, i knew when i started smoking that i would want to quit smoking. I started TRYING to quit smoking when I was 24, when I thought to myself "
I don't want to be a smoker when i turn 25" , and that obviously went on for years. I am 30 now and although i did not quit before my birthday, I have quit.
