I kinda pushed myself down the slope. When I first started smoking, I really didn't know very many people who smoked cigars, so it was a solo venture. After I joined some forums, the more I learned, the more I wanted to smoke. Now, I've turned a lot of my friends on to them, but they're not on the slope yet. I still bring extras for them when we hangout, but they've exposed me to the slippery slope of wine.
