Replies cfabio Posted at 11:56 pm on Mar. 31, 2009 Nicotine is the content which is responsible for the addiction of smoking as it is habit forming. Smoking of any kind is not good for health. Chantix is one of those medicines which help in getting over smoking habit, but this medicine has some side effects as well. Person using chantix mainly encounter sleeplessness, change of taste and headache. So people should consult there physician before going for this medicine.   <a href="http://www.chantixhome.com/";>http://www.chantixhome.com/<;/a> xdreaxbabyx Posted at 9:42 am on Jan. 14, 2009 ive onyl been smoking fer bout a year now. started off only ever so often. now at least 1-5 a day.but i can go a few days without one. i get that urge but i can go with out one fer a little bit. it chills me lol. i kno its a bad habit....n i gotta stop but idk lol nearlyinsane Posted at 6:55 am on Jan. 14, 2009 Sounds like it was more of a psychological addiction. SexxxayParty Posted at 5:35 am on Jan. 14, 2009 im 17 and been smoking since i was like 12 im not addicted like to where i need one but its very habbit forming Dustin Posted at 6:32 pm on Jan. 13, 2009 I believe that I was actually addicted to smoking after around a month of smoking everyday.  Now I wish that I hadn't even started smoking because quitting is ALOT harder than starting. live it up Posted at 5:56 pm on Jan. 13, 2009 i smoked from age 15-17 everyday without being addicted. im 19 now smoke a pack a day and i get pissed frustrated and unable to concentrate on things like school work. if i feel the slightest urge to smoke a cig which is pretty often when i smoke 15-20 in an 18 hour day BackPorch Posted at 4:01 pm on Jan. 13, 2009 I still like to say that I'm not. Berend Posted at 3:27 pm on Jan. 13, 2009 Smoking is also habitual. If you are removed from associations of smoking you'll find it easier to kick it. snowfish Posted at 6:05 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 I started smoking when I was 14. I quit without much trouble when I was 15 1/2 started again at 16 and a half I wouldn;t say iu was really addicted until 18 or so. even still, I've quit for months at a time without super cravings. I'm a pretty light smoker at the moment, although I go through pack a day periods, I'm at like 5 a day right now. Mish34 Posted at 1:43 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 I normally smoke betwen 1 and 8 a day, have done for just over a year. I'm still not addicted. I spent 2 weeks without smoking just to prove I could and didn't get a single craving. Duffasaurus Posted at 1:09 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Idk.

Acustico23 Posted at 12:56 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 I've been smoking on a daily basis for almost a year now. For about 4-5 months I was at about a pack a day. I can not smoke one for a day or two and be fine with it, but its such a habit at this point I always find myself buying a new pack. The longest I've gone without smoking is about 3 days in the course of the last year. However, I still don't think I'm physically addicted to it. MushroomSatsujin Posted at 12:49 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 After about a year of light smoking, I feel that Im still only mentally addicted. I only like to smoke on work breaks or in social situations switchfoott052 Posted at 10:40 am on Jan. 12, 2009 i got addicted after the third cigarette. i've been smoking for 8 months now and im really addicted now. sykexl Posted at 10:36 am on Jan. 12, 2009 Quote: from biSEXual at 10:33 am on Jan. 12, 2009 After my first puff.
