this is more of a question for some cigarette smokers out there. After how many cigs were you addicted and when did you start.
I ask this because i am 15 and i have had probably 4-5 and i am starting to crave a cig about 1-2 a week.....sadly i try to answer the hunger.

plz dont post shit like "smoking is bad stop it now!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!"
Do you think it's normal?

stop.

do u mean you only have had 4 or 5 so far.

Took a while anyway for me to be "addicted" i smoke about 2 - 5 a day.

Its bad but o so good after a hard days work.
if you already feel the need to smoke(hunger) then you are getting into it! don't lie to yourself like i do, i say "i am not a strong smoker, but i do 3-5 ciggs/day, but is the same thing, i cant stop, even is so little amount. why i cant stop, cause i dont want! and you will never know if you will want to stop, so better do now.

I don't care weather u want to hear this or not, but u need to stop now! Smoking caused two deaths in my family, and u will get cancer if u don't stop now. Try chewing gum. It worked for me.

How do u people that are addicted to smoking only smoke 3 to 5 a day??? Im addicted and i smoke a pack a day!! You cant be that addicted and smoke that little
smoking makes you look COOL!
smoking makes you DIE YOUNG!
every cigarette is a tiny smoke signal beckoning the angel of death!
I'M A REAL BAD CUSTOMER!
I smoked 1 and i had cravings for a month
3 million people die of lung cancer every year and an estimated 87% of those deaths is is due to smoking.

Once you are diagnosed with lung cancer, it is usually too late. (90% of cases)
Death of lung cancer is that of a slow suffocation.

Sweet god that craving is a bitch! I guess it was enough to get addicted. : ( I still havent smoked though but i really want too. GRRRR, F*CK!!
Yes. You are already psychologically addicted (cravings), but it would be very easy to quit *right now*. Trust me, I'm an ex-smoker. Started when I was 18 to see what it felt like. Went from only a few when out drinking with friends ("social smoker") to having a regular 10-a-day habit for 12 odd years. There is no such thing as a social smoker (although the few that exist are likely not addicted to nicotine).

Anyway, bottom line: now would be an excellent time to quit!
It'll be a lot easier to stop now than later. I would say I was phycologically hooked on the feeling by the time I was starting my second pack. I physicaly had to have them quite a while later. I remember crying because I had to have a cigarette and the cashier wouldn't sell them to me because I didn't have ID about 2 months after I started. I loathed being a slave to those damn things. I haven't smoked in 5 years and I still want them all the time. It's takes constant will power to keep from starting again. If only I could go back in time and smack myself.
Be strong, fight the urge.
i cant really remember how much it took me to be addicted to smoking i mean i smoked when i was 10-12 now and then but i offically started at 13. im only 16 and im a really heavy smoker, i smoke over 20 cigs a day so thats bad.
