The legal age is 18, but I started at 11. I wish the would lower the legal age, because it would be easier for us all just to smoke and get over it. I smoke regularly, but I make a pack last three or more days. It all depends on how much. But yes.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
