I started when I was ten years old (I know I know) stealing cigarette butts out of my parents ashtray. Then my friends and I would steal packs from her mothers cartons. By the time I was 14 I had a toy box full of my own cartons lol. As far as alternatives go, I really like the ecigs like vuse blue mint (even though I smoke mon menthols). I really want to quit. The smell alone is embarrassing and the money I smoke away is nuts. Especially when I'm going through a tough financial situation. But since I'm going through so much stress, I smoke more. Vicious cycle. I've tried quitting a number of times too. Nicotine gum helped a lot.
