I think you misinterpreted my point. I can't understand the desire to start smoking. However, I COMPLETELY understand and appreciate the addictive nature of nicotine. My mother has smoked my entire life and I have seen her try to quit too many times to count. I'm not self-righteous about it at all nor do I intend to preach. I may have struck a nerve but if you re-read what I posted, you will see that I simply speak the truth about the other, less discussed effects of smoking.
I'm sorry if I offended you but there was no intent to do so!
