"You'll end up in a van down by the river" if you do drugs, don't go to college, etc. advice never includes the warning: "Don't suffer major Depression that gives you complete apathy for existence."

That’s how I was with smoking. I tried a hit and it felt gross, but one day we were drunk and I tried a friend’s clove cigarette. Cloves, for anyone who doesn’t know, numb your throat and mouth, so I didn’t get any of those terrible sensations but I got one hell of a head rush. It turned into bumming smokes while drinking, to buying a pack for the weekend, to switching to camels, to full blown smoker.
