I'm glad I got down to at least one pack a day since then, though. And I hope it works this time too.
Admittedly, I started smoking when I was ten years old. My mother owned a deli and sold smokes there. After school, I would sneak a pack of cigs, go out back, walk down the hill and light up. She was a smoker as was most of the adults around me or in my family so they never really smelled the cigarette smoke on me, per say, because it was also on them. I didn't get caught until I was 13. I got in plenty of trouble for that, but it didn't stop me. Look at the influences I had. I think if I quit now, the chances of my own kids not wanting to start will be better. I've always gone outside to smoke, even in the winter. I've tried to be courteous and not smoke around them but if I'm outside, they're going to see me smoking.
I can honestly say that at least I did not smoke while I was pregnant. But I'm not interested in trying to quit that way lol.
I started as a minor too. Must be 5 years now, if I'm not mistaken.
