My fr iends kept on off er ing me ci garet es and cigars. They made no ef or t to hide thei r amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweet s f rom my pocket. After seven days of t hi s I went t o a part y. Ever ybody around me was smoki ng and I felt extr emely unfor tabl e. When my old f ri end Bri an urged me to acept a ci garet e, it was more t han I could bear. I took one gui lti ly, l it it and smoked with sat isfact ion.
