I just decided that I wanted to try it so I got someone to buy me a pack, although I'm asthmatic it never turned me off them, I also made more of an effort in PE in school because my PE teacher knew I smoked and I didn't want to let him down just because I smoked...

I first tried it when I was 15. It became a serious habit when 17 though. I'm not a "proper" smoker though I don't think. I sometimes go for weeks without smoking. However recently exam stress has seen a dramatic increase in my daily fag intake.

I've never smoked, I don't smoke, and I never will.
Absolutely despise the stuff.
I could sit here and whinge about it all day but I'll save y'all the issue.

I started off with joints when i was 15
now at 17 i do both
cus whenever there was no joints around people would be like..oh i got a fag/rollie

I started "properly" smoking nearly two years ago, but I was social-smoking ages before that, it just...exacerbated.

OMG, i thought i was bad starting at 10.

I started at eleven and I'm now 15.
I always said from about the age of 9 I would try it. So my best mate at the time who smoked offered me some of it. I tried it and liked it. I smoke with stress or when everyone else around me is.
Its never really a bad thing. i put it this way, cigarettes or more serious things, i know what I would prefer.

Never smoked, Probably never will.

I had a few packets when I was 12. Then grew out of it. I know a few close family and friends who have nearly died becaue of this addiction, so I have to say Please do try and stop if you can, and hopefully have a healthy longer life as a result!

The longest living person in the world smoked 40 a day since she was 18.
I only smoke about 5 a day at most, so I dont worry about health too much, and after ive gotten my degree in phsycology i'll take a year to just relax before I become a lawyer, I'll prob's try to quit in that year. Right now cigarette's are keeping me sane.

I actually don't care at all about the risks from smoking, I just realised that now. It doesn't bother me at all even with the warnings and pics.

id rather have a shorter life where i could do what i wanted than live longer whilst craving a cigarette every day.. my grandad gave up when he was 30 and a week before he died [he was about 85] he said "can I please have a fag now, ive been waiting over half my life"
