Allrite I will Tell you , why ppl start smoking. Here you go , my story --
PHASE - I : The BEGINING.
It started off as a show-off , It was my first day at college , I made a few friends and guess what they were smokers , we all went outside during the break and they all started fagging , now i was not a smoker and therefore standing next to them and no ciggi in my hand made me look like an idiot , atleast thats what i thought at that time , ofcourse they didn't force me but then my ego was to big to ignore it , I had to create an impression , I was No-lesser man so i requested my first Ciggi. Ofcourse i didn't knew how to smoke so i asked one of them to teach me. He did and i learned , started with menthol as it is very light , no wonder i was not able to feel anything. I laughed at them , asked them why the hell did they smoke , its not like we get a real high or something , they replied to me politely -- "you will learn".
PHASE - II : The SHOW-OFF
Allrite so smoking was a part of the schedule now , Daily during the lunch break we used to go outside , stand in style infront of the Girls Hostel and smoke. To this day i dont know whether the girls like our bad boy image or do they laugh at our stupidity. Anyways this was a routine now , I used to have a quota of 3 ciggis daily, one before the college , one durng the break and one after the college. Still it was basically for show-off , also a bit of timepass coz we had nothing better to do during the break. By this time i had promoted myself from menthol to Kings , there was a noticable difference but not enough to get one addicted. Also i must say this was a Nice way to have a Get together , every smoker friend from different streams/sections used to gather at one place and we all used smoke Royally
We Still Do.
PHASE - III : The ADDICTION
So there I was a Smoker , but like everybody I too had a Principle. I Had promised myself never to smoke at or near my Home. But promises are meant to be broken ,well there i was one day in very bad cirumstances , was pissed off , very down , very Sad ..... wont go into details but whatever .... i decided to have a smoke for the very first time at my House. I Live alone so getting caught was not an issue. So there i was smoking 4-5 ciggis daily , to be honest it was all about time pass now , feeling bugged at home , nothing to do what better way then to have a nice warm smoke ? The quantity gradually increased , it was a packet per day now.
PHASE - 1V : The PRESENT
As i am writing this post i am having a ciggi in my mouth , I know its a silent killer and i know i am gonna have problem later in life but i live for today , smoking i must say is not an addiction , any person can very easily start it and then very easily quit it also. For example -- I went to my hometown , where obviously i couldn't smoke , i stayed there for 3 weeks and not once did i feel the urge to smoke , Its all about one's environment i guess. Anyways my point is any smoker can quit it. The ones who say its very hard to Quit are Lieing. Ofcourse you need a strong will power to fight the urge but atleast its not as bad as drugs , where the person physically becomes a slave to it.
Will i Quit smoking ? Maybe .... when someone i care about asks me to. I know i am gonna have consequences sooner or later ...... Till then Lets Live for today and forget about Tommorow !
