mines a weird one. ok i was about 6 or so, and i had a friend i always hung out with and he always hung out with his older brother and his friends (they were like 6+ years older then us, both of us were also lavished with money by our parents) ok so they forced us to smoke, so that we would get addicted (which we did, eventually, until then it was just fear, WE WERE 6 THEY WOULDA KICKED OUR ASS >.<) so we'd be forced to buy cigs. from them at ridiculously high prices, so they could have money... yea, that's why i' hopelessly addicted to cigs. because some 12-14 y.o. bitches wanted to make a few bucks... well anyways, after a year or two of smoking up to a half a pack of cigs a day, those older kids moved, along with my friend and everything and i was by myself, back then i didn't really reconize it as a craving or addiction, because i didn't know better, but i just wanted to smoke, at the time i felt i 'needed to smoke' so i started stealing them by the packs from my grandma, buying them from other sources, up until i was about 13, i finally then convinced my grandma to allow me to smoke, and she started buying me a pack a day... i've pretty much smoked my whole life... i've also tried to quit well over 20 times, and all diffrent methods.. nicotien gum, nicotien lozenges, home remedies, candy, cold turkey, and the other way, which is slowly quitting, smoking maybe 1 less cigarette every other day, and combinations of them all in between... quitting for me is impossible... i'm what you'd call 'hopelessly addicted'
