You are 17. The tobacco industry, growers, chemists, advertising companies, people who distribute and sell these products are happy that you smoked, they are thrilled that after 3 days quit, even though the nicotine has more or less worn out its welcome, their advertising brainwashing has you so sold that you honestly don't think you have a chance of quitting. If I were you, I would be enraged at them for poisoning you to make a buck and every time the urge hits you remember how little you like being used. They just don't give shit about you. Picking bad friends is generally expensive and disappointing. You may have picked another bad friend or significant other even at your young age. It always sucks. finding out that they weren't friends at all. Of course no one wants to admit that their folks were right. At 17, I knew that I was an absolute genius. I looked back at 27 and laughed my ass off. Did the same thing at 37, 47, 57 and 67. When I got married, my wife asked me to quit smoking as a wedding present. I quit for 20 yrs and there are very few things that I am prouder of in terms of accomplishments. I also vastly regret going back to smoking the 3 times that I did after that. Every time, I convinced myself that I would win the approval of someone. Each time I lost the respect of the people around me. I did make a new friend each time, the tobacco scum. Just decide who you want to be. That will tell you more than any of us here can and you will know what to do. I really like the S. Korean expression for encouragement in a new enterprise. One word, " Fighting", good choice.
