[Hellion]

:devil I started at age 14,used to steal them from my parents or neighbor's.

[bean]

I started when I was 13, stole them from my mother until she started buying them for me when I was 14 or 15.

[Slept with ghost]

heh i actually didnt start until i turned 18

[The_Dark]

I started when I was 12. I went to the corner store and bought them. .50 a pack.

[kellygrrrrrl]

about 15-16ish....

I could buy them from the gas station at Ford & Sheldon

or steal them from Dad.

I regret I started ever...everyday

I quit for freakin 7 months, cold-turkey. It was hell.

I had ONE smoke....and BAM....smoking again

It's like crack I tell you....AND FOR WHAT!?

The Tingly numb, euphoric feelings go away after like 2 days

I hate cigarettes...hate em

They've killed so many loved ones

[kellygrrrrrl]

What threw me over the top was I got wasted one nite.

Drinking and smoking DO go hand in hand.

I realize now when I quit smoking again, I will HAVE to not drink for like a year.

One cigarette. ONE. :doh

[Dollardave]

I started when I was 14. I used to buy them from the store cuz they weren't strict and I worked at 7-11. My friend scott said that chicks digged it so I gave it a shot. Had I known what I know today that it don't matter if you smoke or not chicks will still bang you if your hot I wouldn't have bothered. My first smoke was a marlboro light.

[Hellion]

:devil Yeah honestly I wish I never started,22 years of it,and a few members of our family died because of it.quiting is easier said than done.

[AstralCrux]

probably tried unsucessfully around 11 or 12

then I found the flavored stuff

Then I found CLOVES

Damn cloves! :pirate

[paradox]

15.

i usually bought em on my own, looking older than i was n all.

quit when i was 18, though i still smoke the odd cigar, or very occasionally, cigarette.

too damn expensive.

[Vater Araignee]

I had my first few around 8 but I started smoking at 11 I stole bugler from the corner store.

[Hellion]

:devil I roll my cigarettes,been doing it for years,and it's much cheaper!

[Killer_Bunnie]

I was either 12 or 13, and still can't quit all the way. I am down to I think 3 a day, but I can't seem to drop the rest because I work in a bar and I'm always around smokers, I still won't smoke in the house, or at a friends house if they don't smoke, which is weird because I still won't smoke in their house if someone they live with smokes in there anyhow, it's weird. I've tried to quit more times than I can count anymore, I remember being sooo pissed that they were bumped up to the super high price of $2.35, damn I wish I couls still get them for that in this state :blink

[Morbid Side]

I tried my first cigarette when I was 14. I started smoking until I was around the age of 16. It's probably one of the hardest things for me to curb since I don't have the wilpower and the desire to quit right now. Who hates having flem/mucos every morning? It's gross...

[torn asunder]

my parents were both smokers, so i tried my first cigarette when i was about 5 - i asked my dad to try it cuz i saw him doing it all the time - i tried, i coughed, i cried, i ran to my room... most likely, that's the entire reason i never took up cigarettes, although i do recreationally smoke occasionally... :fear

[Draco1958]

I started when I was 20. First it was one now and then when I drank but due to stress at my uncle's funeral, I started smoking then fulltime. Quit for about 6 weeks then a relationship breakup and I was smoking again. tried quitting a few times but I become such a bear, friends offer me cigs to calm me down. Guess they figure that's better than watching me go thru a tirade. They figure smoking is better than the heart attack I get close to when I try quitting. I am definitely not pleasant to be around when I am out of smokes.

edit: :laughing id forgotten i already replied! :fear

13.00

[DarkChylde]

When I was 6 I was forced to hit off a cigarette when me and my sister suffered abuse from bad baby-sitters, I thought I was going to die that day.

I started when I was 11 and from there I got addicted, smoking ever since and wish I didnt start as well.

[wheresmypiggy]

I was about 12 when I started. Quit when I was 17. Rarely smoked after that. A pack of cloves here or there.

Just started smoking again last month. Menthols none the less...

[DJ Nocker]

13 or 14, cant remember, but i quit, and it was one of the smarter things i have done.

[Homicidalheathen]

My mom is kinda wierd ok? Ok. Now that that is out of the way......she said she never cared if I started, her mom used to have her light her cigarrettes for her when she was busy.....thats how my mom started. At like fucking 9 yrs old.

Fast forward about oh say 50 yrs.

Grandma is dying in the hospital coughing up blood after leaving her home complete with oxygen tank, to die.

Mom is quitting to save her own life, and has gained 50lbs doing so.

I never liked cigarrettes or could tollerate tobacco.....but love pot and have smoked it off and on since age 13. I did quit for 12 years when my kids were young, I think those first 12 years are the most important.

My kids don't smoke anything now.

Just don't understand people who encourage their kids to smoke.

My mom always said I could 'borrow' one if I wanted.....that she didn't like the pot smoke but I could smoke cigarrettes all I wanted in her home from age 12 up.

I think its wrong, but back then allot of people were like this. Our neighbor was the same way.....let her kid smoke at home and even paid for them sometimes.

Just glad we are smarter about this now.

Have you noticed in the old black and white movies how in almost every scene someone lights up? OH, or poors a drink.
