For you smokers, and former smokers: How long did it take you to learn to Smoke?

[wolven7]

There's this commercial for a help line, to learn to quit smoking, with this guy that can't quit, cause he's a fuckin pansy? And the announcer was like 'Well, it took you a long time to learn how to smoke, right?' And i was like... 'Uhm... No?' I learned how to smoke, by putting a cigarette to my lips. It took me about a day, at most. Quitting, the first time was supremely easy. I simply quit. The second time (this time), is infinitely more difficult. Because i have many more psychological and philosophical attachments to smoking than i did, before.

So, my question is this: Did it take you a "Long Time" to learn to smoke, or did it come naturally? And, for those who are quit, how did that work out for you?

Simply annoyedly curious.
