Because I'm addicted.
Why did I start? Rather strange story as I used to be quite vehemently anti-smoking. But I guess it all started when I got seriously involved in a heavy drink/drug/party/club scene.
I've given up the coke (much to the relief of my bank balance).
I've given up E (as it tended to give me the heebie jeebies anyway).
I've given up speed (as it's dirty cheap muck anyway).
But I can't give up the cigarettes.
Oh, and giving up the drink is not an option. I like it too much. I guess it's in my blood as an Irishman...
