Some people can be like this all their lives. I'm not sure anyone has figured out how it happens or why it happens only to certain individuals, but really...do you want to take that chance and become addicted to this very powerful drug?
I have a friend who has been like this all his life. Just a smoke here and there, a couple when he's drinking or watching a game on the tube. Now that he's over 40 though, I never see him without a pack of cigs. He is smoking more and more.

Yep...I think it would be safe to say that any of us who became fulltime smokers had to work very hard at it. I got sick the first few times, but I kept at it until I didn't get sick. Sure wish I would have been smart like you.
