Some adults do start smoking.  I smoked in college during finals occasionally, 
but was never hooked.  Then, I took up the habit and it became an addiction
at age 28.  Fortunately, I managed to quit ten years later, and will celebrate
my two year anniversary on November 5.

Before I quit, I did a great deal of reading on the subject and interviewed
both smokers and ex-smokers; indeed, it is very rare to find someone who
started smoking as an adult, but I did it.

Congratulations on your success.
