I went to college and that is where I started smoking. The place where I went to college is the kind of place where if you are a non smoker you are an anomaly. In India, thats where I am from, we are still stuck in the pre 1964 era as far as smoking is concerned. People smoked on the way to class in the break between classes, in short everywhere and at everytime. Every single shop from your grocer to the stationery shop round the corner sold cigarretes. Still remember that i started smoking at a party and was hooked within a week. Started of with Goldflake Kings and as my consumption increased moved on to Navy Cut cigs, shifted to Marlboro lights coz was getting breathless ( strange didnt think of quitting then). Just wanted to add the international perspective (lol).
