Story 1

I was 15 years old when I started smoking cigarettes. I thought it was cool, and I wanted to fit in with the other kids who were smoking. At first, I only smoked a few cigarettes a day. But over time, I started smoking more and more.

By the time I was 18, I was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. I knew that smoking was bad for me, but I couldn't stop. I was addicted to nicotine.

One day, I smoked too many cigarettes and I got nic sick. I started vomiting and feeling dizzy. I thought I was going to die.

I went to the hospital and the doctors told me that I had nicotine sickness. They told me that I needed to quit smoking immediately.

I was scared, but I knew that I had to quit. I went to a support group and I started talking to other people who were trying to quit smoking. I also started using nicotine replacement therapy.

It was hard, but I finally quit smoking. I'm so glad that I did. I feel so much better now.
