AverageJoe, et al
I tried cigs for the first time when i was 16 or so, and didnt like them at all. fast forward to 19 years of age and working in a retaurant, where 75% of the employees indulge in cigarettes; needless to say i picked it up. been smoking maybe a year, american spirits because of the taste. If you think the additive free bit is helping you in the slightest, youre decieving yourself

American Spirits have three times the freebase nicotine of any other brand (second place is Marlboros), and infinitely more tar than ones lungs can tolerate.
gave it up for a few weeks, back to it again. will quit when im out of school, earlier if i get out of the restaurant business before schools out. right now its my one vice so to speak; dont drink excessively, abhor drug use, cigarettes are a nice distraction.
