I was a casual smoker for a few months during my sophomore year in college. And by casual, I mean I smoked during parties or with guys I hung out with. It made me feel light and relaxed. But my mouth tasted like an ashtray rolled in shat-on Band-Aids the morning after. And the cravings were getting out of control, even though I didn't smoke every day.

And then he came along. I knew that if I smoked, he wouldn't find me as attractive anymore. So I never did it again. I still get cravings to this day. It's totally under control, but they still happen. Watch out for that.

My generation doesn't think ahead enough.
