Katie is from Summerville, S.C. Although experimenting a bit sooner, she was hooked solid by age 13. Her older sister begged her and actually paid her $5 dollars to smoke her first cigarette. Just 20, Katie has now been addicted to smoking nicotine for so long that she simply cannot begin to imagine life without her nicotine induced dopamine/adrenaline high.
