Everyone says that smoking will give you cancer and is not healthy for you at all, but yet people still take up the habit. :nuts: Yeah I personally don’t understand it either, I’ve never had any urge to start smoking. I know a lot of people that start because of the “cool” factor associated with it these days…early in life ever…6th-7th-8th grade even. Kinda sad…I also know they aren’t even addicted though, and they just do it when they are out with friends and such to fit in… It’s easy to tell when they can go on vacation for a couple weeks and not smoke once, then come back and go out and smoke up a storm… Either way, good luck on quitting and congrats on the effort. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/quitting-smoking/193410)._
