Sounds like you're following the same path I did back when I first started at about your age. I'd tried the occasional full strength at school, and kinda hated it, but I first tried a Marlboro Light in May of my first year a uni, due to exam stress, and had that incredible feeling of doing it right and absolutely loving it, and then spent a summer as an occasional non-addicted smoker
, which was very nice.
Then when I went back to uni, I found a few of my friends had started as well, and slowly started smoking more often, until one day around early November I realized I'd smoked at least four or five every day for about a fortnight, and thought 'wow, I really better knock this on the head, before I get hooked. I can't afford these long term'. Needless to say I didn't even last a day. I didn't have much money back then, so after that I had to go without a fair few things I really wanted to afford my five or so (many more if drinking obvs) cigs a day, but by that point having the cigarettes was way more important than buying CDs or trainers or books or whatever, so I didn't care.
Oh and Marlboro Lights are probably the best fags for a student to smoke - not only are they lush if they are what you are used to, but also because so many students smoke them, if you need to scrounge a cig, you can usually find someone who smokes your brand to scrounge one from.
Anyway, enjoy your cigarettes, and good luck in leveling out your cigarette consumption at a point which provide plenty of lovely smoky pleasure but doesn't break the bank.

: Hey, when I have been
: smoking its been
: marlboro lights purely
: for the fact my friend
: smokes them so was the
: first I tried. When in
: Vegas I could easily
: smoke a 20 pack a day
: which is quite worrying
: for a supposed non
: smoker, I guess I've
: just become used to it.
: I can go a few days
: without smoking but have
: been on & off the
: last 2 weeks or so since
: I got back my trip. I
: have also started
: college now & smoke
: on breaks or at lunch
: but usually this is
: still only a few as I've
: said to my college mates
: that I smoke. Kinda find
: it easier to accept
: round people that don't
: really know me. Even at
: night I can go without
: smoking even if I have
: been during the day,
: although I'm enjoying a
: sneaky one just now as I
: type lol x

: My wife and I love to go
: to Vegas... largely
: because we can smoke so
: openly.
:
: We were there earlier
: this year, and I went
: from half-a-pack or so a
: day to two packs a day
: during the trip.
: Smoking in the hotel
: room... Smoking on the
: casino floors... and
: smoking while walking
: down the streets.
:
: I'm so glad Vegas is
: still open to smokers.
: If the antis get bans
: there, I won't be back.
: It is truly the only
: place I've been where I
: can smoke without having
: to go to the edge of
: civilization to do so.

: Sure sounds like you're
: addicted. Probably only
: mildly addicted so far
: at this point if you can
: still go a day or two
: without one, but
: definitely a bit
: addicted.
:
: Have you started to find
: you get irritable and
: upset easily when you
: haven't had a cigarette
: all day? That's a
: fairly good indicator of
: whether you are already
: properly addicted, or
: whether you just really,
: really like cigarettes.
:
: But whatever, don't hate
: yourself over it. I
: know you said you didn't
: want addiction, but
: still went on to smoke
: more and probably get
: addicted, but hey, many
: millions of smart, good
: people have done exactly
: the same thing. Fact is
: anyone with the least
: but of curiosity or
: imagination will
: probably try smoking a
: few times at least, and
: once a persons done that
: then it's fairly likely
: they'll get to really
: like it, and once a
: person gets to like it's
: fairly likely they'll
: get addicted, because
: inhaling tobacco smoke
: is both remarkably good
: and remarkably
: addictive. So it's
: nothing to beat yourself
: up over.

: Hey all not much net
: access these days so not
: able to get on as much
: as I'd like but anyway
: just thought I'd let you
: know about my little
: trip to Vegas for my
: friends 21st. I knew I
: was gonna be in trouble
: trying to get drink but
: took my older sis'
: passport & just
: about got away with it
: lol. I thought
: everywhere in America
: had banned smoking in
: public places but we
: were stunned to see
: people in our hotel
: smoking. Katy was
: delighted & lit up
: straight away. Needless
: to say my addictive
: personality took over
: & before I knew it I
: was smoking also and
: this was mid afternoon
: without a drink, maybe
: I'm getting addicted
: without realising but at
: that point I didn't
: care.
: The whole experience
: though was amazing &
: we went to our first
: strip club which was
: good fun, my personal
: favourite was when one
: of the performers took
: the cig from my mouth
: for a drag, talk about
: sexy!
: Anyway on the way back
: home we went to Duty
: Free & Katy stocked
: up with cheap cigarettes
: I couldn't help but do
: the same.
: I hate myself for
: getting myself like
: this. I've been kinda
: smoking on & off
: since I get home,
: trouble is I'm
: constantly thinking
: about it. When I'm
: smoking, I'm loving it
: & when I'm not I
: wish I was.
