The worst decision i made last year Many people make decisions that will greatly affect the way they live. A decision of this nature has the power to change one’s whole life. When I was 20 years old I made the decision to begin smoking cigarettes. This choice has affected my life in several ways; it is the worst decision I ever made. When I began smoking I was young and did not think of the effects it would bring. I was at an age where I felt a need for rebellion and cigarettes seemed to be a perfect cure for that need. I was not peer pressured into smoking, probably due to the fact that not many of the kids my age smoked. The reason I remember was me wanting to do something different and extreme. I do not know why I thought that this different and extreme thing had to be something bad. While trying to create an image for myself I got addicted. My addiction is strong and hard to avoid. The main reason I smoke now is my job, a cigarette helps me relax after a stressful day at work. School is another reason I still smoke, after a test a cigarette seems to help my mind calm down. I know of the dangers of smoking, but somehow I still find a way to enjoy it. The effects of smoking, both physical and mental, are tremendous. I sometimes experience a shortness of breath when I wake up in the mornings. I am not nearly as athletic as I used to be. When I look back on my teenage life I almost always see myself with a cigarette. I hate that I think it is necessary to have a cigarette to relax. When I look back on my decision it makes me think of my parents and how angry they were. At the time I did not care if they were mad because I expected them to be, but now I see that they had all the reason in the world. I should have known that they were looking out for my best interest. I wish things turned out differently and I had a good habit that did not take my money
