My daughter is 25 years old and has been smoking cigarettes since I guess she was about 17 years old. She has a 3 year old daughter and her doctor that she went to for her yearly check up told her that she needs to quit smoking. She has tried on her own to quit, but started back. She did quit smoking during the time she was pregnant. Sometimes she smokes 2 to 3 packs a day. I think she is too young to be smoking that much. I tried to smoke when I was in my 20's but would always end up giving my packs of cigarettes away. I never developed the addiction, I guess I was lucky.

I have been smoking since 5 years ago, maybe I was 18 when the first time I was smoking, but I have quit for a while 4 yrs ago and started to smoke again since 2 years ago. I smoke 1 packs a day, and I have become an addict LOL. But I am sure one day I would stop when I want to, the problem is now, that I don't have the willing to stop. That is why...

ive been smoking for about 17 years now i believe. i tried quitting once or twice, but i still enjoying smoking so quitting didnt last long lol!
the most ive ever smoked a day has been 1 pack. 2 or 3 packs a day is insane! thats tooo much for sure, no wonder her doctor is saying she needs to quit now.

Thank you for your response. I think that may be part of it with my daughter is that she enjoys smoking. I have smoked on occasions over the years. I am 52 but I never got the habit. I hope my daughter can really quit smokikng.
