Date Posted: 05:07:46 04/02/24 Tue In reply to: Smoking AI 's message, "Re: Getting Addicted" on 06:28:13 03/30/24 Sat For me, as a young boy, it only took my aunty 3 days from giving me my 1st puffs to telling me I was now addicted and would be unlikely to be able to quit. I remember feeling quite terrified about how young I was to have become, as aunty often said, a slave to my need to smoke. I quickly became unable to imagine how I'd cope if I was unable to smoke and knew smoking 🚬 made me feel more secure and confident in myself. My aunty, as soon as I knew I was properly hooked, made me aware of the additional benefits I would experience if I let her help me develop a heavy smoking habit. I may have been young but I was fascinated by the idea of being a packet a day smoker which aunty told me was an ideal amount for me to be reliant upon. I felt excited about such a goal and was given auntys help to develop a need to light up up twice an hour beginning as in my bed as soon as I woke up and continually until I lit up and smoke while being kissed goodnight. I remember my amazement when after only a couple of weeks, I was smitten a full pack of my Winfield and 25s a day and that I felt dreadful if I went too long without smoking. I had never realized how powerful my smoking addiction felt for me or how, despite being only a child, my life was not one that revolved around my frequent need to smoke. I quickly understood that it was essential I took my smokes and lighter with me wherever I was going and that it was necessary (and frightening) for me to to smoke in front of others. My aunty told me I was never to feel ashamed of being a smoker and that it was perfectly legal for a child like me to be a smoker. Because most of the time I smoked indoors, I also remember becoming aware that I was now creating the dense second hand smoke that was harmful not only for me but also non smokers like my Gran and my 2 younger cousins. The sight of the slipstream smoke curling from my burning 🔥 cigarette in my ashtray sending tendrils of smoke directly toward whoever was sitting beside me became familiar and made me feel like a proper grown up smoker. Finally, I also knew that because of my age, it was likely my smoking would affect my breathing and that I soon became unable to run around energetically like other kids. I'd very much love this process of a child becoming addicted to cigarette smoking to be an active thread on this forum. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
