1. "kick the habit"
And if you're a smoker who has switched to a so-called "light" brand to help you kick the habit, forget it.
I'm addict to the internet. I tried to kick the habit. Didn't work. Too much fun out there. Ha ha
I smoked about 15 yrs ago. I kicked the habit before my wife having the baby.
2. "lights up"
It's only one of thousands of chemicals in tobacco smoke, but when a person lights up, nicotine floods chemical receptors in the brain.
When she lights up, she looks so sexy. haha
3. "take puffs of (the cigarette)"
If they only took one or two puffs of the cigarette, that occupied 50 percent of this type of nicotine receptor in the brain.
Cindy took one puff of the cigarette and then gently blew/puff out a few smoke rings towards his face. haha
