Why Did You Begin Smoking?

Watched both sets of grand parents smoke like chimneys.
I never understood how inhaling smoke could possibly be good for a person. So I just never did it.
I had a girlfriend who smoked pretty heavy. In 98 I bought a new truck, she jumped in, and lit a cigarette. I pulled the truck over, told her to get out and when she was done, we'd go again.
Needless to say, she wasn't my girlfriend much longer. :)
My wife smoked when I met her. But she soon stopped when she discovered I didn't care for the smell. I don't think she really cared a ton for to begin with. It sure didn't take much for her to stop and a pack would last her a week.
