Is it normal i don't have the feeling that if i don't smoke that i'll die

Yeah! I can stop anytime I want to. Same thing with crack.

You don't get addict very fast I guess... Anyway, you don't have to smoke!

First time i smoked was the fist time i knew that i was never going to start and i dont even consider it smoking is not a good thing and it does not make you cool...

Smoking is an aquired taste and don't start either.
I smoked for 5 years before I quit. All of the money and time I wasted, all of the lunch breaks I could have spent in a warm office eating instead of in the cold having to have a smoke, being ashamed of how I smelled and keeping bottles of perfume on me at work and how funky my car smelled... Smoking the burn-outs of cigarettes because I was underaged, couldn't buy another pack and my 18+ friends were at work or unavailable. I put myself in a lot of danger bumming cigarettes off of creepy fucking weirdos...

The lengths that some people will go to feed an addiction are ridiculous, so don't risk it. Quitting is among the best decisions I have ever made but I wouldn't have had to have made it had I not decided to smoke in the first place. Sure, social smoking is great but it's not necessary and you not smoking might discourage them from smoking, you don't have to be a follower.

For the past two years, I woke up every morning to the sound of relentless coughing and hacking from my Aunt who has been smoking for over a decade, two packs a day. She constantly has "laryngitis" which is really code for, the smoking is fucking her up and she does not want to accept or admit that her suffering is her own doing.

I worked at a medical center while smoking a pack a day and saw hundreds of poor old folks struggling just to BREATHE. I would ask them if they smoked and they would tell me that they started before the FDA and Surgeon General recognized the link between smoking and breathing illness and they quit when the warnings came out but it was too late.

Every day I saw people struggling to survive with horrible health conditions that were probably disgusted at the injustice that God gave me a healthy body and I am blatantly and knowingly ruining it with cigarettes while they are struggling every day just to live.

My Aunt was given a healthy body, and she fucked it up. She struggles to breathe and her immune system is shot but she refuses to quit. She looks horrible, her skin is an absolute mess and the circulation to her hands is ruined, her fingers are turning purple. I couldn't end up like that and you don't want to either. For fuck's sake, don't get started.

A gift that nicotine doesn't affect you? You keep smoking when your around your friends and you will realize you don't have that 'gift'. No one does...

Takes a while before you're addicted, but... I have NO clue why you would want to, or are even willing to put yourself at risk for it. It's so dumb, will drain your cash flow, will make things taste bad, will make you smell bad, and a large number of other negative effects.

I mean, I say this as a smoker, so it's pretty hypocritical, but still... being addicted isn't that much fun.

You must have an IQ of 3. You are an idiot.

I've always credited the fact that we can afford anything we want, coz neither me nor my husband ever started smoking.

My dad advised me when I was a teen,
"Never start anything you may not be able to afford to sustain."

Good. Glad you're not addicted to it. Don't even bother smoking. It's dumb and pointless, and a waste of good health!

It will grow on you as the first commentor had said. It will start as a social thing. Then a oh ill just have one before bed. Then i think ill have one with ny coffee this morning. and so on. It just grows on you. It's the sneak attack that nicotine gets away with. It's like the 1 inch death punch. Your not far from getting your ass kicked by this crap.

Smoking cigs is fuckin pointless.

You're not addicted yet.. Stop right now before it's too late!

I can't get addicted so yes it's normal

Its called an addiction

This is called obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) nd although not common in most people is not rare. You can go to councling for this and this feeling may go away if u get help. I'm not saying that u need to quite smoking. But I think us be much happier if u can smoke to just enjoy it. Nd not as an impulse.

When I smoke regularly I am around 25% less intelligent, less good looking, can't make proper long-term decisions and have a hard time breathing. I'm 30 and have been smoking on and off for 15 years now. There was once point where the lung doctor said that there was a chance that my left lung would collapse.

When I quit my body and my mind are on different schedules for adjustment.

My body takes around 7 days to get fully over the nicotine addiction. The peak of discomfort is at day 3 and day 4. My body reaches it's highest temperature during those days and there's a particular de-nicotining stink that's in the sweat throughout the 7 days.

Mentally it seems like you're losing your mind (the first couple of times you quit, other times you know what's going on), and it's the hardest on the 5th or 6th days when your energy is ebbing the most.

During the first 14 days the stress level peaks off and on and I get angry at almost anything. This continues for the next two weeks, but not at such a high frequency.

The ability to deconstruct concepts is at a low and patience and understanding are almost non-existent during the first week.

During periods that I smoke, my self-esteem is much lower than if I'm not smoking, and there's always an element of paranoia in thought strains, albeit very subtle. I'm around 15% less physically strong during these periods as well (tested at the gym).

Being very honest here. Know what you're getting into before you get into it
