For whoever wants to know...I smoked from when I was around 10 to 17...which I quit January 1st of this year. About a pack a day...my mom smokes, so she didn't mind letting me have a pack of her cigarettes every morning..that's the bad part. At the time I quit, I couldn't even jog a block..now I can sprint well over 8 or nine blocks..and that's still with heavy marijuana smoking..Marijuana isn't a risk to my health, so I did any and everything to allow my willpower to secede my addiction to nicotine. I prevailed. I will never start smoking them again. I've changed my lifestyle and I will never again be a tobacco user.
