    I had the same experience, I think I even tried a few times over the course of years after I’d forget how bad the previous experience was. Each time it was the same, “Why the fuck do people do this? This fucking sucks.” And I grew up in a household where my Dad smoked constantly throughout his life, I had been around cigarette smoke for awhile.

    There’s other addictions I can understand, and even have myself, but smoking is such a harmful, nasty addiction that I can’t get how anybody can willingly do that to themselves repeatedly.

      Same here. My parents both smoked like chimneys. I tried smoking once. Tasted awful, smelled disgusting, and made my eyes hurt like a motherfucker. Then I tried twice again on different occasions. Same experience. Just an exceedingly nasty thing overall that had not a single thing that made me wanna go back again, so that was it. I consider myself lucky that my body found it so revolting.
