Why did you start smoking?

[Rylot]

I started smoking only while I drank at parties then it became a way to relieve the stress of college and other things going wrong at the time. I know it's bad for me but I feel it's one of the few things keeping me sane at this point.

I started smoking during my first job, I was trapped in a lift that broke down with a patient that had gangrene in of their entire leg, for over an hour, I never wanted to smell ever again. But yeah probably the stupidest decision I ever made in my life.

I never smoked anything, nor have I ever used drugs or alcohol.
I always wonder why people start with that kind of stuff.

Really you wonder why people do stuff like that? you can't put two and two together and realize that maybe those things make them feel good? I dont have a problem with people not doing drugs or alcohol but its this kind of attitude that always rubs me the wrong way.

I know it makes people feel good.
I just don't understand why people would choose temporary happiness over a longer lifespan.

I once rolled up some leaves in a piece of paper, stuck it in my mouth, and set it on fire.

That was a bad idea, and I was young at the time, so some conditioning was done that day.

well walking through my college campus was similar to walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke so i thought well hell ill inhale enough smoke a day to equal a few cigarettes so i started smoking but i dont smoke that much just one every few days

I don't really enjoy smoking cigarettes but:

As for why I smoke cannabis, if you're asking, because it's fun.
