OK. I have never smoked a cigarette by myself in my entire life. It has always been a social thing for me. I enjoy it and if other people around me are doing it, I will too, and I quite often don't know when to stop. I guess it's just relaxing and something to do.

However, I had a few left in my jacket from the other night and I've now found myself having smoked all of them, by myself in my room. Ok, so it's not exactly a big deal but I really don't want to get addicted and I'm actually feeling a drive to go and buy another pack. I appreciate how bad it is for your health and what a bitch it is to give up, but it just seems to me like a relaxing alternative to alcohol.

Can someone please tell me what an idiot I am?
 
The thing is, when you do it by yourself it's no longer about being big and clever or showing off, it's an addiction.
 
You a big idiot and you are harming people around you and you will die much younger than everyone else and during the last year you will suffer.

Then once you have given up, the hundreds of pounds you save from buying fags go join a gym, you could do with the exercise.

Is that what you wanted someone to say?

Well the funny thing is I'm a complete fitness freak and do about 4 runs/3 visits to the gym a week :D

I just find it really relaxing. I guess it wears off after a while. Perhaps I should buy some cigars instead?

You smell
You basically pay to kill yourself
Its antisocial

lol, I don't think I'm addicted yet. I guess they were in my jacket and I thought I might as well smoke them. Still, it's now like I have to find a relaxing substitute.
