When I was around 12ish, starting by smoking some sort of grass(not hash:) ) maybe it was called hogweed. I was the last of my friends to give in to peer pressure. Didnt inhale at first, then my friends would give out to me for wasting the cigarette! The first couple of time inhaling made me so light headed but I persevered and still smoke 17 years later. Started on jpb when the were around 1.40£ for 10 and now smoke roll ups.

First smoke was when I was about 10/11 (am now 39 y/o). Older cousin gave it to me. First bought a pack when about 13 or 14, Carrolls Kings (not sure if they still make them). They cost under 1 punt for 10 & a box of matches (97p sticked in my head for some reason). Smoked B&H most of my smoking life but on the rollies for the last number of years. Just been given 2 cartons of American Spirit. Quite enjoying them as a bit of a change. Favorite fag of the day, first one of the day with a good espresso.

I started at the age of 16 in Transition Year, if memory serves i actually went and asked a friend if i could borrow a Silk Cut Purple from her, parents weren't exactly happy when they found out, 3 years later i've experimented with tobacco and Benson's until i finally settled on Marlboro Reds

I was a freshman student back then in the university when I took my first hit. I was 18 already then. Suddenly hooked when my old man passed away. It was a Philip Morris, quite strong for a novice, yes. Haha /fave hangout is in coffee shops/ whenever I have the urge
