Smoking assignment

Hello! I'm doing an interview assignment on smoking for health class, and I was wondering if any current or past smokers could answer any of the questions below. Anything used will be anonymous so no need to worry about that! Thank you :))

1. What age did you start smoking?

2. Why did you start smoking?

3. Have you tried to quit smoking for any period of time? How hard was it to quit?

4. When you haven’t had a cigarette, how do you feel? Emotions, reactions?

5. If someone handed you $19,843.20 what would you do with it? The average cost of a pack of cigarettes in PA is $9.54. If you smoke 2 packs a week for a full year do you know the yearly cost for your habit? $992.16. If you smoke for 20 years you will spend about $19,843.20 on cigarettes. How do you feel about that?

I started smoking my senior year of college?

Why? The people I hung out with smoked.

I quit after I went home from school. Probably a year. Then I smoked my friend's cigarettes one night. Got hooked again. Smoked for maybe 5 more years but three of those years were 1-2 a day at work.

Honestly, quitting something is easier than you think when you're willing to fight through the withdrawal. In my opinion, you have to turn into the withdrawal [b]hard[/b]. I just quit coffee again and the fog comes back for days to convince you to return.

When you're addicted to something, money doesn't matter that much. That's the worst part of addiction... you have to feed it right? No matter the cost.
