smoking...tried it? at what age?like it?

haha =D I'm a ex smoker but i have quit now ^_^ I too try out of curiousity and also wanna act cool, just like my frenz.. haha =D It's normal for 'newbies' to be coughing upon their first few puffs because of the inhaled smoke.. hehe ^_^ As long smokes for a long time, it's no longer an addiction, but rather a habit ^_^ Thus u see, the older one gets, the more they smoked, is because they have already gotten used to the 'highs' of each stick, so, they need more to achieve the same 'highs' like before ^_^ Smoking does not necessarily make one unhealthy, just like your grandmother.. haha =D I"m also very healthy when i'm a smoker.. I can only outrun my non smoker frenz, clocking an impressive timing for my long distances and short distance runs.. lol =D It all depends on how one wants their health to be.. Being a non smoker does not mean they wont die from lung cancer as well.. Though, being a smoker increases the chance, but all man are meant to die one day right?? lol =D

i have tried at my age 16.but i do not think it is a good feeling. i have a lot of friends who are smoking everyday,but most of them don`t know why they need smoking. i think they maybe want to look like cool or feel something special.

I quit so many years ago. I am glad that I did. I gained some weight though every since i quit. one thing about quiting you will gain so much weight.

If you don't smoke, then that is great. Try not to follow the crowd, or friends. What they are doing is something that makes them feel "big", and it is not something that is wise. You can be big, without smoking and doing what your friends do. I am telling you the truth. I started out when i was very young, and now i wish that i had never smoked.

uhuh.. i've tried smoking.. i don't like it.. and i don't know why people get addicted to it.. maybe it gives them relaxation from stress or so whatever.. but for sure i wouldn't be smoking again..

hello. never tried smoking before and will never try it in the future. because i know that it will not give any good thing to me.. and will lead me to sickness instead.

Hi ck! Incidently no one smokes in my immediate family, therefore, I never felt an urge to smoke. I know that smoking does not serve any purpose and it ruins one's health later or sooner. I do not like the smell of smoke and if someone is smoking, I try to distance myself from him/her. One day a gentleman asked me in a party - 'Do you smoke?" I replied - "No, I do not smoke, I fire."

I was also smoking when i approached my teenage but later i feel that i personally dont like smoking i am only doing it for a fashion trend so then i left smoking and i am happy with it now as concern to health my doctor friends told me that in fact it depends on how you use things if you smoke responsibly and with care then it will never hurt you but if you become a chain smoker and smoke in excess then this will defiantly harm your health.

hi, i am a regular smoker.i smoke a lot every say,about 8-9 cigg. per day.i started it at the age of 18.i think that everythink has a time to start.one should ot start smoking at an early age.when i smoked for the first time i had cough,so i dint do it for about a month or so.but then i did it again, this time there was no cough,that lead me towards the second time and slowly i got addicted to it..

I've never tried it nor have I ever wanted to. I think that it is a pointless thing. I had one friend who was always trying to peer pressure me to do it. It was extremely annoying and I did yell at her a few times about it. I don't know why it was so important to her. She was kind of a weird person. The majority of my friends do smoke. It has always been that way ever since about the age of 13 or so and so of course everyone else always assumed I did too. Even if they have never met my friends they thought so, having to do with the way I dress. Black baggy clothes. I hate stereotypes. Everyone who I do know that smokes have told me that they are trying to quit, or should quit, etc. and hell I figured I'd just skip the trouble of the starting part and go straight to the quitting. Anyways, I understand why people start smoking. Of course a lot of it has to do with peer pressure, but that's not the sole reason. People just never know what to do with themselves, especially when they are nervous and since smoking is calming and something to do, it only makes sense that people would turn to it. Another reason I've heard from many people is that when you first start smoking it gives you a light-headedness sort of high that can according to some people goes good with drinking. Some people have told me that they only smoke when they are drinking. I don't know if there is any scientific truth in it, but people believe it and the placebo effect can be mighty powerful.

I haven't tried smoking. Thanks goodness! I won't be able to forgive myself for the damage it might bring to my health. But we can never really avoid second-hand smoke from other people. And that's what concerns me.

I did smoke when I was younger. I guess I thought it was the cool thing to do. I would NEVER do it now. It is a horrible habit to get started with and I hate when people do it right in front of me. It sticks in my hair and on my clothes like no other. I cant wait until bars go nonsmoking in October. It will be amazing.

I have tried smoking when i was about 11 years old out of curiosity.... i really dont like it because i cant hardly breathe because of the smoke... just that, i have stopped right away in smoking.... i only tried 3 sticks....

I was too a smoker once during my college days at 19 till 21. After that I quit. 'Cause it makes me addicted to it. I felt nice at the time I smoked and after that I sufffered with coughs. So quit. It's very injurious and also made my mind dull.

Just because it doesn't show yet, doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with your grandma. The bad effects of smoking will eventually take its toll on anyone's body, no matter how healthy you seem to be. I never tried smoking, not even once. I considered it a blessing that I got pneumonia when I was young and since I know I have lungs that are a little weaker than normal, I don't want to take the risk of making it worse. I do not see any positive benefits of smoking anyway. If ever I would be tempted to smoke then that would be because of peer pressure, but then again, I don't think I want to die young just because I wanted to feel that I "belong".

I began smoking when I was 10 and I still smoke. It is a very powerful addiction and yes it is unhealthy but I have so far not been successful in quitting and staying quit. I've been lucky in that I have had no serious health problems as a result. I'm 53 and know that I'm pressing my luck. I have cut back thanks to the high taxes our government has placed on them but even that is difficult.

Yes, I've tried it before too, and like you I only tried it because my friends were smoking and I thought it looked cool..lol. But of course, I never got the hang of it either, and it just made me cough and feel sick so I never tried it again and I never smoked and I still don't. I hate the smell of it, it makes me sick just smelling it. Yes, I think its bad for your health, it can cause cancer, and there probably are people out there that have smoked all their lives and aren't sick, I would just say those are lucky people. It still doesn't change my mind about smoking I'm still not going to do it.

hi ckyera, i does not like smoking,no body in my family do smoke from the last 50 years,but some of my friends smoke,i would not object their smoke before me,still i like them and their friendship...have a nice day with/witout smoking

NOPE!!! NEVER WILL!!! I CAN'T STAND THE SMELL EITHER, it's bad for my health, and it's EXPENSIVE.

I tried it when I was about 12-13 years old and found that I didn't really like it. It was expensive, it smelled terrible, and I found out I'm allergic. ____
