19. When I was in High School, I was too busy smoking pot to smoke tobacco.

And I consider myself extremely lucky because of that. If I had picked up nicotine as a serious habit, I would have had a shit time quitting it. Giving up drinking was difficult, but quitting pot smoking was a relative breeze.

I've known a lot of people (including myself) who have done one or the other and then gone on to quit... or to try.

Pot is a far, far easier habit to kick than tobacco.
