Do you smoke? When did you start smoking? Why did you start smoking? I smoke, I started in my late 20. Very stupid. Why? Well, me and my in those days boyfriend did a travel and of course we bougt cheep cigarettes to bring home. I did not smoke every day in those days, only when I partying with friends. But ofcourse after bringing a hole packeg with lot´s of cigaretts I started more frekwently and every day. I must say it was very stupid to do so, a specially when I knowe howe dangerous it is to smoke. But in the end, we al do have some things that´s not good for us, as we al knowe.

I didnt smoke in my entire life.But when i was in college and join with my group of friends,i do try and they even teach me how to smoke.But fortunately,i cant take it.The smell,the taste and also on how doing it.It makes me vomit,everytime i tried to make it and it is because i am the only one in our group who didnt smoke.I feel shy on it, but then,no matter how i tried it over and oer again,still i cant take it for good.So i decided not to bother at all if i am the only one in the group who is not smoking.And until now,i didnt smoke either...Lol...

I do smoke, I started almost 10 years ago now because my friends did and so did my parents, I figured it couldn't be that bad if everyone was doing it. After a year or so I started discovering people didn't automatically discount me as just another kid if I was smoking -- it's sad but true. I could actually put in my 2 cents around adults and have people listen. Apparently it seemed easier for them to listen to the kid who acted older and forget she was only 15, than it was for them to realize I was a 15 year old addicted to smoking, and that my opinions were my own regardless of my habit, however mature they made me seem.
