Kim about smoking

I started smoking when I was at Art College when I was just 19. I suppose it was a way of coping when I was in a place where I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t find it too hard to give up, but then again I had a lot of reasons to. If I’d continued I doubt whether I’d have been able to tour. I feel sorry for people who smoke.

Were you pressurised into stopping smoking?
No, it scared me and made me ill, so I gave it up without any difficulty.
