In my 37 years I have NEVER smoked...but I'm in here ..I gotta know wtf y'all smokers be on, man!
I got my own addictions and shyt I do when I stress out,(porn/meat beatin, Food!, Nail biting) so I ain't gonna knock yall.
WBut Why the F y'all even start? You knew since a Jit what was gonna happen.
My dad smoked until I was in middle school. I looked up to him and smoking was still a normal part of everyday life. It was just something people did without much judgement.
I was always outside with friends but still had had social anxiety. I ended up picking up cigarettes around 12/13. It just gave me something to hide behind, and a reason to just walk off without may people bothering me.
The Army made it easier because so many people smoked so nobody judged. I always felt guilty about the smell and something having power over me like that.
Eventually I quit in 2018/2019 because I was sick of that shyt. I still crave cigarettes everytime I get stressed, I smell someone else smoking them, or if I was drinking (I don’t drink much anymore either).
I think busy kids, anxious kids, and kids with low self esteem are prone to picking up habits like smoking. I like that there’s a “nasty” connotation that comes with smoking now. There’s still other fukked up habits for kids to pick up though.
I don’t miss people walking up like “let me bum a square off you” or “let him hit that short when you done”. Most of all I don’t miss the guilt of smelling like smoke all the time.
