Default does everyone regret smoking

most people i talk to say they wish they never started smoking.

does anyone who smokes, enjoy the fact that they are addicted to em?

if you could go back and talk to your pre-smoking self, what would you say?

I've met some pro smoking nazis.

I remember I met this couple in the hospital while she was pregnant. The husband was adamant that the doctors not influence her to stop smoking. He told her it was her right etc.

You never think [addiction] could happen to you. Pretty soon (2-3 years later) you need one right after you wake up.

DONT EVER START. DON'T THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS WHO HAVE SUCCOMBED TO THIS BEAST.

I've done my fair share of stupid things in my life (duh, I was a 5 year frat boy, comes with the territory) but starting smoking is the ONE thing in my life I regret.

My ex still doesn't regret it. She's been smoking for five years (since she was 16) and she doesn't plan on stopping until she's ready for kids.

I think a lot of 20-somethings don't regret it until they get older and realize just how short life really is, and that taking a few years off IS a big deal.

Chicks that smoke are a deal breaker for me, no mater how hot she is. They can smoke something but its not a cigarette.
