I want to try a cigarette. What's it like first time smoking?

[Anonymous]

So I know smoking bad and it kills blah blah blah but lots of people do it don't die. Anyway I don't want to smoke as a habit. Just socially or at least try it once. Am not saying I think am cool or anything I just never expirencer it before. When I was in school all my friends smoked and I though it was the worst thing ever but now am curious and want to at least say I have tried it. But am nervous what's it like first time? Is it dangerous if u inhale it the wrong way? Does it leave an horrible after taste? What was your first time like?

Well I have nothing against smokers, some people actually get mad at them but I am cool if people smoke cigs (although I hate people that smoke weed), I haven't smoked a cigarette but back in college I smoked a disgusting amount of cigars (like at one point I was smoking one a day), and cigars are similar to cigarettes. I would actually recommend smoking cigars over cigs because cigars aren't nearly as bad for you, and they are much more fun to enjoy socially. You can get all kinds of flavors for cigars, and they last longer then cigs, so its fun just sitting around with some friends smoking a couple good cigars. The other thing is apparently you dont really get addicted to cigars as easily as with cigarettes (although I dont know because I was smoking them every day at one point so maybe that was borderline addiction), but I was able to stop smoking them pretty easily. I hear horror stories of people trying to stop smoking cigs, and I was worried that might be me since I had smoked so many cigars, but I didn't have any problems stopping, so cigars might be a better option for you. They leave a pretty good taste (I think) in your mouth, although some leave a bad after taste, you dont inhale cigars either so they dont really up your chances of lung cancer much which is good. And my first experience, I remember was senior year of high school, on a nice fall night my buddy had a bunch of us over for a bonfire and he pulled out a few cigars which he gave to us. I had no idea how to smoke it so I ended up inhaling way too much, and I got incredibly sick (to the point that I threw up), and it was horrible. All my friends were really supportive of me since most of them had done it before, but I did not feel good. After that I stayed away from cigars for a while until I got to college and started smoking cigars with some friends. After that I smoked a ton, but now I smoke a lot less, I've only smoked a couple times this year, mostly because my wife doesn't like it when I smoke (lol). Just smoke the thing right though, and be with a good group of friends and you will be fine, smoking cigars is great, and I would probably smoke more if my wife didn't yell at me every time I did it.

This is how it becomes a habit. Most smokers have started off just wanting to try cigarettes and have ended up "a pack a day smoker" or something. In all honesty people have more respect for you if "you have never tried it". Smoking makes your clothes stinky, your breath smell and can leave a horrible taste plus everything else.

Don't do it because you will become addicted and it will make you do pathetic things.

First time smoking it doesn't taste that good and you might cough some. For me it wasn't bad at all. Just again you get addicted even if it's just once. One time I ran out and it drove me insane I ended up walking 2 hours in the dark to town to buy some. I wasn't thinking. I did manage to stop and haven't in 4 years now.

I didn't like my first time. I thought it was ashy and it burned my throat a lot. It does leave a pretty nasty aftertaste and the smell seems to linger for ages (especially on your fingers). There's no wrong way to inhale it so don't worry about that. I tried it a few more times but gave up because I never really enjoyed it

[throwit]

It costs your mouth and throat and you feel like you need to cough but coughing only makes it worse. I don't know if you've ever accidentally tasted ash (like it blew into you food or something) but the taste lingers forever and it's not pleasant. Try it once if you must, but don't go back to it

Smoking socially turns into a habit. You think you can avoid it but it's almost impossible. I'm typing this while smoking, which I started while just doing it socially.

But to answer your question, it feels hard on your lungs the first time. Don't try to go crazy and completely fill your lungs with smoke. You'll probably cough. After a few days you'll feel a racy buzz just a bit and your heart quicken.

After a few drags not days, stupid autocorrect

Have you never smoked, so do it finally. Buy nice cigarettes, smoke 2 cigarettes, just take the smoke in your mouth, at the 3rd you can already inhale and then you realize how good cigarettes are and hopefully you like it. I'm over the moon, after the first box you get another box of cigarettes.

Easy. Do not ever do it. Nothing good can come from trying it. Only bad things are possible.
I repeat: Nothing good can come from smoking!

Do not do it! Every single smoker I know regrets ever trying it.

The first time for me, I was 8. I coughed a lot and my throat and lungs felt like they were on fire. I continue to smoke to this day (started daily at 11, I'm 29 now).

[fluttershy_cutie]

I tried one once and I nearly die all it is you inhale smoke, it is not bad to try it once but just don't get addicted to it.

[Blueeyes81]

It taste like ass. If you do actually inhale, you'll cough. Most first time smokers don't know how to inhale. You'll get light headed and possibly nauseous.

[bubbletrouble]

The first couple of cigarettes suck because the inhaling kills.

Try it and find out I only tried once and it was not nice just left an awful lingering smoky taste.
