Your first cigarette
To be honest, inhaling the fumes from some burning leaves isn't the most natural thing in the world.
Tell us about the first time. Where, when, and who were you trying to show off to?
Or, if you've never tried a cigarette, tell us something interesting on the subject of smoking.
Personally, I've never ever smoked a cigarette. Lung damage from pneumonia put me off.

The effects,
For me its more the ritual than the nicotine. I like to smoke. It may not "clinically" reduce stress, but the fact that one has to stop work, and go outside for two minutes is great for reducing stress. ITs that two minutes of peace and quiet free of phone calls, clients and trainees. Yes, I know I could go out side for two minutes anyway. But I like the taste, I like the action of smoking. It all adds up to giving me that 2 minutes of calm before going back in to the maelstrom. And yes, sometimes I want a smoke for the sake of wanting a smoke (it is addictive after all) and that's why I smoke only half on the weekend what I do at work.
