skmarb: Wade started vaping with his friends when he was in 9th grade just for kicks. He told everyone that he was just doing just for the fun of it and that he wouldn’t vape enough to get addicted. By 10th grade, Wade was addicted to vaping, but told his friends that he could quit anytime that he wanted to and that he was doing it just because he liked it. In 11th grade he was at a party and lost his Juul and was joensing for some nicotine. A friend of his had some Marlboro Lights. He swore that he would never smoke real cigarettes, but with three beers in him and in need of a nicotine fix, he smoked a real cigarette for the first time in his life. By the end of the night, he smoked 5 more and really liked them. He realized that smoking real tobacco was so much better than just vaping, it was revelation to him. The next day he bought his first pack of cigs, a pack of Marlboro Lights, and his first lighter. By his senior year Wade stepped up to smoking Marlboro Reds and by his 18th birthday he was up to a full pack per day and proud of it. He was a real smoker and there was no going back. -- source link
