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?
