I have no other family members who smoke but quite a few of them did
in the past and are now quite "anti". I started late in life about a
year and a half ago. I'm a light smoker, some days, in a social
setting, I may smoke a half a pack and other days not at all. When I
see others smoking I really crave them but when I'm alone and keeping
busy, I have no craving at all. The first cigarettes I smoked were a
found pack of Virginia Slims Light menthols and since have tried
several other brands of menthols and regular flavor including
Marlboro, Salem, Winston and Newport. I still like VS menthol lights
the best, I put them in a cigarette case so as not to "advertise" that
I'm smoking a Woman's cigarette. Iowa is a lousy place to be a smoker
after the statewide smoking ban, can't smoke in bars & restaurants
(including outdoor areas) or any state property including state parks
and college campuses. You can still smoke in the state run casinos and
veteran's hospitals, go figure! I still enjoy smoking and have no
regret that I finally decided to try it, I still get a "head rush"
with every one I smoke which to me is the best part. I have a
stressful job and a cigarette calms and relaxes me like nothing else.
