It's not about how many sticks you puff on. It's about how much you inhale. If you smoke one stick a day, it's still ok. You're probably in the experimenting stage of your life. if you become a smoker, you will begin to see a drop in your fitness levels after 7-10 years. as female smokers, this would affect our ovaries and quite possibly our babies' health. if you can, drop the habit altogether. stay smoke free. be healthy.
Fair enough. Yeah, for me, it was actually socially smoking that upped my tolerance. I think they're both as dangerous as each other in terms of increasing your intake.
Hopefully you'll be able to find something to replace it. It's a dangerous path, and the further down it you go, the harder it is to find your way back.
When you're smoking, that's not on your mind. And yes, I can guarantee that the portion of your brain that craves that dopamine can think of a couple (though it'd be irresponsible of me to share them).
Hmmn yeah, when I first started I only had 1 a week and it has slowly increased.
When I had my first I hated it, it made my tongue hurt although gave a head rush.
... It can happen. Easily. And it sneaks up on you. Be careful.
I have to say this scared the **** out of me a little bit. At the same time though I feel that there are other factors involved such as the company you keep, motivation etc while trying to quit. For example someone who is friends with smokers and has no motivation to quit other than it is bad for their health would likely find it harder to quit than someone who doesn't have any smoking friends (maybe they moved away or whatever) and is training their lungs to take on some massive El Nino swells.
