I have ben researching so much and want to share with you tons of informations but I then thought I would rather speak from my heart and what I know to be true. I started smoking at 38 yrs old. I smoked one pack a day of capri 120′s menthol. i know that they had a strong hold on me. When I would wake up at 5:00am to smoke two cigarettes because I needed a fix and couldn’t go to sleep until I had my nicoine hit. I had to have a cigarette before going in to shop. I would send my daughter in and come in later after I had a cigarette. People would wait for me in the car while I stood outside to have another before driving. I remember going to visit my friend in PA and she commented on how long it took me to smoke a cigaretted and how many hours that was in the day that I was not spending with her. I nolonger have that strong hold since I began smoking the electric cigarette (SmokeStik). I barely think about when the last hit I had. I hold it alot and I know that I sometimes find I haven’t even had a nicotine hit until 1:00pm. WOW. My life doesn’t revolve around me smoking but rather around the people around me and the time I get to spend with them.
