Your love of cigarettes will change. All it takes is a diagnosis of terminal cancer.

I agree with you. I have restarted smoking a few weeks ago. It was a difficult decision to start again. I had not smoked for more than 6 years. But oh, I have missed is so much.
That nice feeling, smoke in your lungs, the taste, just fantastic. Too bad it is unhealthy. That causes a double feeling. But fate has decided; once a smoker, always a smoker.

After several decades I tried it purely out of curiosity. It was terrible so I thought I wasn't doing something right. I heard it takes time to learn so I kept it up until the dizziness went away and I started to enjoy the taste and the process. Being disciplined I wasn't afraid of getting addicted and, yes, was even curious about what that was like. So I kept it up, all secretly, for about a year.
I was frustrated because I didn't feel addicted...until I decided that my curiosity was as fulfilled as it could get, and I stopped. It wasn't long before all I could think about when not smoking was smoking.
I found out what it felt like, and never could have imagined it, and now must smoke to feel "normal". After being discovered by many (I wouldn't admit it, though they smelled it) I gave up being secreted and that made it worse because I was smoking out in the open and starting to build up the inevitable associations. I "graduated" and became a heavy smoker. Still am....

It is true...once one, always one. Even though no one in my family smoked, I loved the thought of being a cigarette smoker from an early age. It is if I was simply born to smoke.

I don't love to be a smoker, but unfortunately I enjoy smoking.
The feeling of inhaling menthol cigarettes is not my thing.

Menthols are best, IMO
But been smoking Marlboro lately
