I started smoking a couple of weeks ago. It was short lived (for now) as I only smoked my way through one pack and have yet to buy another. I am sorely tempted to go buy one right now though. In all honesty, I think I know why I do it when I’m stressed. I know how terrible for me it is. So, I think that, for me, smoking is a socially acceptable method of self injury. Yeah, I’m just that crazy.
