I'm, unfortunately, an active smoker now. I had my first cigarette this past Christmas Eve, when I was drinking with family friends. And then I became a drunk smoker, because smoking when you're drunk is just lots of fun. And then I got a job at a call center. Most stressful job I've ever had. The smoking helped me get through it. And now I smoke when I'm bored. And everyone I've dated smokes. Let me tell you, a cigarette after sex is just amazing.
So now when I have money to buy them I can smoke anywhere from 7-14 a day. I plan on quitting soon, I'm slowly getting tired of them actually and I hate that I spend money on them. I'm pretty positive I could get it down to maybe three a day - one when I get up, one before bed, one during the day. Except on days when I drink, because I'll probably always be a drunk chain-smoker, and I'll always want to smoke after sex.
Oh I would however like to at least switch to American Spirits, I've had friends tell me they make it easier to not smoke as many a day somehow, and plus they're organic, so no rat poison and such, I would think.
