My name is Jack I have been fighting with smoking for years. I was about 22 when I started to smoke. I was at university and I was going out with somebody who was a very heavy smoker. It was because of final exams and a lot of pressure that I just tried it.
I think I’ve tried to give up four times now. the first time I think I lasted about three months. But I was living in Russia at that time, and again ii fell into a very stressful situation and I think I just gave in very easily. The second time I just stopped with no help.
So I’ve got to give up. It’s health worries and the fact that I just don’t feel as well on a day-day basis as I did when I wasn’t smoking. There is less energy. When I gave up , I could taste and smell so much more, and was just generally clearer in the head. And when you give up, you don’t have that constant anxiety of thinking, “When am I going to have my next cigarette?”
Truthfully, I don’t think there is anything I like about smoking.
(3) How many times has Jack tried to give up smoking?
