I did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mom started smoking when she was 11. She went to the hill next door to try her first cigarette. She set the entire hill on fire, but it didn't deter her.
I was a smoker for about 20 years.
I quit smoking well over twenty years ago.
I smoked some pot as a kid, but I just never did drugs.
I smoked for almost 10 years. I really regret that. Thankfully, I came out on the other side. I hope my lungs are repairing themselves now.
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.
At one time I smoked, but in 1959 I couldn't think of anything else to give up for Lent so I stopped - and I haven't had a cigarette since.
Tobacco marketing often reaches children and youth and entices them to start using tobacco while they are still at an impressionable age. Nearly four out of five high school cigarette smokers will become adult smokers, even if they intend to quit in a few years. By the time they want to quit, they're hooked.
I never smoked a cigarette until I was nine.
I think people in Montreal smoke a lot, and I used to smoke when I was 17-18, and just picked it up when I was playing juniors. But I think I stopped when I was 22, which was a big decision in my life.
