i was 8 years old

[i]wow! that was very early,,,,I am wondering if they were not able to smell you with that..Usually a person who is smoking will always smells like a smoke when talking or in a shirt! I have tried once to taste it, but I didn't like it! My Family is very proud and glad with my Father who quits from smoking and for 3 years now, he never smoke! When you are determined to quit, I know you can do it![/i]

Hi 4apps777... WOW!!! Are you a family man now?...I don't wish to sound rude or anything by asking that, but I speak with compassion from my experience. I lost my father many years back to smoking. He said he started when he was about 15 years old. He did quit after all those years when he reached 55 years old...but alas that didn't do him much good. He passed away with emphysema and a collapsed left lung. I believe that if you care for the people you love (or the people that love you), you'd see that the simple pleasures you get from smoking seem such a waste to the joy you give them with your presence...the long or the short of it however, without the smoking. I do not want to bore you with the litany of information there is on the dangers of smoking as there are far too many and I know only YOU will say, "This is it!" As smoking is an addiction, your will power to quit is the key. I wish you well and strength on your decision!!! Happy mylotting...

I am a 35 year old idiot. My dad passed away in '95 of lung cancer that eventually spread to his brain. On top of that, my mom has emphysema and she was diagnosed when she was 60...that was 5 years ago and it's truly frightening to think that this damn addiction that I have will get me like that too. I hate what my dad went through and what my mom is currently going through...it's awful...really there aren't any words to describe it accurately. I know I need to quit, but all my attempts eventually fail. I'm weak I suppose. But, if at first ya don't succeed, try, try again...right. I think I'll give it a go again soon. I truly hope for your health and for your family's sake, that you quit smoking sometime soon.

My God, you started early. I'm wondering what your lung looks like now. Better stop smoking before it's too late. Try chewing gum or eat candies when you want to smoke. That worked for my father. Quit smoking. It's dangerous to your health.
