Sorry for the length of my reply, but...

Yeah, I grew up with both parents who smoked (my dad quit when I was 10 though) and when I was in grade school I vowed to never smoke, but as soon as I got into middle school I was smoking within only a few months due to peer pressure and trying to "fit in".

I smoked for about a year and a half to two years and by high school I quit cold turkey because it was affecting my health and I got scared for what my future would look like if I kept smoking. I was waking up with a rough voice and thick phlegm in my throat and lungs that I would have to cough up every morning, and it scared me to think about what another 20-30 years of that would do to my health, so I quit when I was 15.

Just don't give into peer pressure and don't do it to fit in either. It's not worth it. Getting hooked on cigarettes will only kill you and decrease your quality of life over time. Not only that, but the the amount of money cigarettes cost, only to wreck your health is just stupid. Just don't do it.

As for what it felt like, it always made me cough, no matter how "used to it" I got. I would get shaky and nervous between cigarettes, and only having another one would calm me down again. But when I did it just made me feel horrible, so in addition to the fears I had about my health into the future, I just got tired of it.

Just don't bother with it and don't mess around with them. It's a horrible addiction. Just save the money you'd spend on buying horrible cancer-causing cigarettes and spend it on other interests and hobbies you have instead. You'll have more money for other things and you'll be much healthier and happier in the long run, I assure you. The way I look at it is that with the literally thousands of dollars I have saved by not smoking, I have been able to go on trips and buy certain things that I may not have been able to afford if I was smoking and ruining my health.

Overall, quitting was one of the best things I ever did in life.

I mean I tried it cause I wanted to anyway, but a girl who was my friend was also another good excuse.
Yeah many of mine did. Probably 13 when I tried then I didn't do it again until 15 when my friends at a new school were doing it and that girl. I didn't like it at first but that's how it works really gross first time better the next.
I did stop as soon as left school without such friends, then my girlfriend afterwards smoked so then I did again then she became my Ex I stopped. As you can see I wasn't addicted to it ever. Just stopped when I wanted to which was when that social stuff stopped happening.
I vape sometimes but rarely it's much better as for taste and overall been less bad. It all depends if my mate gets me for free or find one for cheap or again if people around me are.

Whatever u do - DO NOT SMOKE! I started smoking in high school, just to be cool and now I am almost 37 and I still waste my money and my health smoking. My Grandma and her sister both died from lung cancer b/c they smoked. My mother smokes and has COPD and is on an O2 tank. My father smoked and died last year from a heart attack (I think he also did more than smoke cigarettes though). Regardless.. don't do that shit! U are young and have SO much more ahead! Don't do something stupid like I did just to be cool.. please. I don't know u, but I know u can do better.

When I was a kid it was a lot more mainstream than it is now. I did it on and off through high school and college. I was a junior in college and I had to drop out because I ran out of money. I went to the registrars office to see if they could help me somehow and of course there was nothing they were willing to do. That was the day I quit for good. I had to make something good happen out of something that was so terrible.

Yeah, my friends at Uni smoke.  I don't smoke.

shortster · Answer

Nope. People my age thought smoking was bad for your health. It is strange how it made a comeback. Nicotine is an addictive substance so once you start it is hard to stop. My brother has been trying to quit for years.
