I had issues with self-confidence and it helped me relax. Sitting alone in a coffee shop felt a lot easier with a smoke, going out with girls I felt easier going with a cigarette in my hand, I and my boys would go out for weekends and destroy two packs each.

I believe that it became a triggering addiction in certain social situations.

And even now when I talk about it I can feel that first drag and the buzz in your head.

It might be glorified and 'cool' but it is the worst addiction there is definitely, just because it is legal.

And if anyone else still struggles with smoking and wants to quit I suggest Allen Carr's great book - "The Easy Way"
