My Regret

　　I regret having tried smoking two years ago. Partly out of curiosity and mainly  because my bodies goaded me into trying it, I had my first cigarette. Unlucky, I got hooked on it. Since smoking was not allowed at school, I had to avoid the disciplinary officers all the time. I was sick of playing hide-and-seek with them, but I had difficulty quitting smoking. I envied my friends who did not have to depend on nicotine to give themselves a boost. I often think if I hadn’t been so curious or lacking in determination to simply say “no” to my friends, I wouldn’t be in so much trouble now. I know the only way I can quit smoking is to go clod turkey!
