DO NOT START.
I've been a heavy smoker since I was 13. I love the habit, always have, but I'm 30 years into it. I know I can look forward to either an early cardio-pulmonary death, cancer, or at best, slow suffocation via emphysema. I started during my hellraising years and I honestly thought then that I'd never see 40 because a car wreck or other violent death would get me before that milestone. Now I'm 40 and one hell of an addict and not much of a hellraiser any more.
High prices, social isolation and being a robotic slave to nicotine are only the mild problems.
Stop while you can.
Don't look back.
You need to do something social, grab your girl
