I was in the same boat... I didn't smoke for the first 17 years of my life and berated my dad for his nicotine habit, then as soon as I got to college I decided I wanted to be David Bowie after watching a Charlie Rose interview with him. Bowie can make a cigarette look like a sixth finger, he's so cool. Yes, that's right; I started smoking because I wanted to look like David Bowie talking to Charlie Rose.<BR/><BR/>The ads have really never had an effect on me, as far as cigarette ads go. But the anti-smoking ads have the opposite effect. I will reach for a pack every time one of those ads come on.<BR/><BR/>NCNathan Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937764877782677631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606386190098138667.post-59465108699001536622008-11-20T15:53:00.000-08:002008-11-20T15:53:00.000-08:00I'd always felt stupid for smoking, especially sin...I'd always felt stupid for smoking, especially since I'd been adamantly anti-smoking for the first eighteen years of my life. I knew well what the risks were.<BR/><BR/>The advertising never convinced me. Unfortunately what happened was I got a job as a projectionist in the cinema and when everyone went out for their breaks they all sat around smoking cigarettes and eventually I was drawn in too. Old fashioned peer pressure. And once I'd started it was very hard to stop; and I tried everything. Gum, patches, hypnosis. Eventually it was just the thought that if I ever found myself stranded on a desert my first concern wouldn't be food or water but where the hell would I find a smoke? I'd have probably ended up trying to roll up bits of seaweed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849014950986046841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606386190098138667.post-27834696114227377172008-11-19T11:03:00.000-08:002008-11-19T11:03:00.000-08:00Seriously, this almost makes me feel stupid for sm...Seriously, this almost makes me feel stupid for smoking.Nathan Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937764877782677631noreply@blogger.com
