well, smoking for 6 months and 6 years are totally different, but I see what you are saying.
I started at about the age of 19 (I'm 25 now) and before that I'd smoked a few with the neighborhood kids over the time of 2-3 years. This isn't the only time I've tried to quit either, I've tried a couple times with no success, I'm convinced that this time will be the last. And I will say this, and I'm sure anyone who's ever tried to quit, or has quit will tell you, I wish I'd never started.
It's amazing the hold that cigarettes have on a person. The kinds of things that you go through when you quit and your body is recovering is amazing. My body is getting rid of all those chemicals I've inhaled every hour for the past 6 years and I'm tired and hurting but optimistic that things will be better.
Edit: I forgot to mention that once the weather gets better I am going to start biking.
