Creeping back to health Pt.1

It was a boring summer afternoon when one of my friends showed at our home’s doorstep and invited me to hang out with him and couple of his friends, I didn’t had much to do at home, so I accepted. We went for a drive in the city and after an hour or so we get tiered of circling around the city so we went to a tea house for some tea but it wasn’t just a tea house they also serve hookah there.


Some of my friend’s friends were smokers so they ordered hookah too. They start inhaling the smoke of the hookah and puffing it out and everybody take turn to do the same. Then came my turn; I never smoked anything before that but I didn’t want to everybody think that I’m still a child, so I started to smoke. I had seen on movies that people who never smoked before start cuffing after the first poke, but to my amazement I didn’t feel any discomfort in my throat. Later my friend told me that hookah has no danger to health that’s why you didn’t cuff, he couldn't possibly be more wrong.


That’s how it started for me, a stupid decision by me so I could look like grownups. I was 16 years old but I never took smoking seriously (I mean getting addicted to smoking) until I was 22 years old and that was a very difficult time for me so I was ready to do anything to distract my mind from my problems.

One day one of my smoker friends left his pack of cigarettes in my house and I ran out of tobacco for my hookah so I decided to smoke one of his cigarettes and that one lead to second one and so on, before I realize it I was already a smoker.

To be continued.
