I smoke a pack of marlboro reds a day. I guess you could say I smoke out of habit. It gives me something to do when I'm bored. I started at the age of 15, because all the cool people were doing it.
I think for me, the whole addiction thing is mostly a state of mind. To my own amazement, I can go five hours without smoking a cigarette when i have lots of them around, but when I'm out of cigs, it only takes me 5 minutes to start running around the house, looking for that one discarded cigarette that might be lying on the floor somewhere. Also, whenever I see somebody smoking, or even so much as read about somebody smoking in a book, I reach for my lighter.
I often consider quitting, but then I tend to run into a stressfull situation, such as being stuck in a hot car for four hours, and when I get to relax by smoking a cigarette afterwards, me and the nicotine rekindle our friendship and promise never to part ways.
