It made me

relaxed and happy

How I did it: I tried smoking a few times in my teenage years whilst at school and then university and whilst I enjoyed it never really stuck with it.
At that time I'd very occasionally when I got the urge to give it a go buy a pack or steal one from my parents. Most often I'd never finish the pack and give it up as a bad idea. But in the back of my mind I knew that I wanted to be a smoker and I did enjoy the odd one or two.
So when I got my first job after university I decided to give it another go, this time however I decided on a whim to check online if there was any advice on such and obviously being the net there was, and I found a number of the tips I found helpful in getting over some of the issues I'd had.
I settled then on Marlboro lights - as they were fairly low nicotine content, quality brand and well I kinda liked the pack, and grew to like their taste.
I started slowly at first making sure I could actually inhale properly but not huge amounts, smoked very few cigarettes a day etc. and slowly I worked myself up to smoking about 5-10 a day.
I've swapped brands a few times since then and have now settled on Lucky Strike Original Reds which are full flavour, quality brand with a great roasty toasty taste. Read how I did it… 4 years ago
