(not enough pro smoking in this topic )

Hehe, how was the tea? were you 6 yrs old?

When I was 10 I wanted to light up a cigarette, but didn't know you have to breathe in at the same time, so I kept wasting matches which wouldn't light up the cigarette. Finally my grandmother caught me, and berated me. She said she wouldn't tell my parents if I didn't do it again. Later during the day I was down in the basement trying to put a lit match into a bottle emptied of flammable material. The bottle exploded a gust of hot air that burned my eyelashes, which freaked me out. Back in the house my mother saw the burned lashes and started asking me questions. Meanwhile, my grandmother was walking by and she said "By the way, I caught him smoking earlier in the day". I was in a lot of $#%^.

I smoke and i hate how it makes me feel but quitting is hard and anxities run high.

I smoke cigarettes because I love the smell and the whole experience of it.
The cons are the yellow fingers and lingering smell and laws which ban smoking in certain places.

I don't smoke, but I really enjoy smoking. I have never been addicted, and will have the occasional cigarette (usually when catching up with a smoking friend). It is a fantastic conversation, thought, and style aid- though the benefits do not increase in proportion with increased use.

I never wanted to smoke because I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and I also don't like the health effects. I don't want gross lungs and all that. Most of my family smokes though, so I get a lot of second hand. My best friend tried smoking once and the curiosity of what it felt like was so overwhelmingly tempting. So I tried it once, hated it and I will never do it again. She also stopped. Luckily, she had only been smoking for a couple months so she didn't get addicted to it.

I smoked for a few weeks. It was great. I would get a powerful rush each time, as if I was doing drugs. Then it disappeared and I was just left with a smelly cigarette in my mouth. That's why I stopped.

Only 17 and I never plan on starting. Everyone else has already posted the reasons... health problems, shriveled lungs, stained teeth. I can not stand the small, eather... I almost gag every time I go to the bathroom at school. It's almost like smoking a pack just by walking by.

I smoke, when offered, but Im not addicted, I havent bought ciggys in like 3 months
Sometimes though, I get so stressed out, I can either have a smoke or an anuersym. So i go for the smoke.

ya i'm a smoker, I really need to get over this habit, but its hard
