Dear C: There is a tremendous variation between people on how long it takes to become a true smoker...by that I mean someone who NEEDS a cigarette. With some people, the nicotine in one pack is enough...for others, they can be social smokers for years. I guess I was somewhere in between, but after a long time occasionally sneaking my Mom's cigarettes, by 16 I definitely needed a few a day. I have been a confirmed smoker since my senior year in high school...although I didn't have the nerve to smoke in front of my smoking parents until after my first semester at college, by which time I was up to almost a pack a day. You can't hide that much smoking!
