In school I had very few friends. I kept to myself. When I turned 20, I decided to open my heart and try new things. I traveled alone, I made new friends from all over the world, went dancing, dated girls, learned languages… And as part of experimenting with new things, I also started to smoke. My first cigarette was in November 2000. I believe I can stop any time but I keep delaying quitting.
