Hi. I stumbled across this forum and I think it's pretty cool. Anyway, here's my story. I am a 24-year-old single mom of a 4 year old son. I am a smoker, but I only started smoking when my son was about twenty months old. Actually I had smoked a little with a girlfriend when I was about 14 until I got caught and I promised my parents I'd never do it again. So I knew how to smoke when I decided to start smoking. I mean, I'm old enough now and I'm not living with my parents any more.
People ask me why I started so late. Basically I was home taking care of my son, who was getting in to everything and driving me bonkers that day, and I just decided I need to start smoking. I just really wanted a cigarette all of the sudden. So I told my son "let's go for a ride in the car." That usually settles him down anyway. So I got him into the car seat and I went down to Walgreens, purchased an ashtray and asked for a pack of Marlboro Lights Menthol, which was the brand I smoked with my girlfriend and some matches.
I got home, gave my son some lunch, then sat down and opened the pack. I could just smell the tobacco! I pulled one from the pack, put it in my mouth, took a match and lit it up. I couldn't believe how wonderful it was inhaling that cool, great-tasting smoke again. It was unbelievable!
I am not a heavy smoker, just a pack or a little more a day. My son doesn't like it when I smoke, neither do my parents, but this is something I do for me, and I feel a woman has the right to enjoy something for herself without being concerned about what others think!
