Did you ever try smoking a cigarette?
The first time I ever smoked was when I was about 16 and I didn't really see what the big deal was. I don't really smoke now just the odd one on a night out so you could say I am a social smoker.
So, what are ye experiences with smoking?

I tried smoking three times tonight and a few more times last weekend.

13 made me sick but thought it was so cool kept doing it for 17 odd year then stopped for 5 years back on for 1 then off since. 9 years now still think of them and times so tempted.

Sulla Felix · 20-06-2013 11:33PM

Yeah, when I about fourteen or so, couple times since.
I kind of see why people are addicted, there's a nice little buzz going. Not enough of a one to counterbalance the disadvantages imo however.

Social smokers make my blood boil.:mad: If you can go without them most of the time you can go without them all the time. I was a heavy smoker when I was young, upwards of 40 a day, weaned myself down to five or so a day for the last few years, haven't smoked in two weeks now.

And I hated every single ****ing cigarette I ever smoked.:mad:

Give them up youngfella, or I'll come round your house and batter you.

Never so much as touched one, even as a child I understood how ridiculous it was!

shaka · 21-06-2013 12:20AM

Yep around when I was sixteen for a bit of summer . Didn't see point , I was spending money I didn't have to look stupid,smell and kill myself. Was one of the few mature decisions I made in teenage years

Why smoke at all if you only need the odd one on a night out? I tried a few when I was about ten years old but didn't have the money to buy them. My friend who smoked with me had a bit more cash and he died young, possible because of the smoking.

The fisheries board and the anti smoking lobby are teaming up on their next marketing campaign to save money. The slogan is 'smoked fish, not cigarettes'

I'm going bald as well :eek: so nearly there :P Just got to get my 70's flairs out and I'll be ready to say that alot

Esoteric_ · 21-06-2013 12:36AM

My first time trying a cigarette, I was 5. Stole one from my folks when they were asleep.

Tried again at 7.

Started smoking at 11 or 12.

My younger sister started at 10, my mum started at 10 and my dad started at 8, so I suppose it kind of runs in the family. :pac:

Myself and the father are off cigarettes now, though.

lertsnim · 21-06-2013 12:40AM

I smoked for 12 years. I tried a few times to give them up unsuccessfully. Then I tried cold turkey and never smoked since. I never even had a craving for them since giving up. No point in giving up for financial reasons. I gave them up because i hated them.

dgt · 21-06-2013 01:41AM

Yep, started when I was 9 up till about 15. Then back on again from about 18 to 20. Gave them up and never looked back since

:pac: It's not his fault you're a weak, weak person with no concept of the word moderation when it comes to cigarettes. What if he likes the occasional cigarette? What's wrong with that? Apart from the fact that it might kill you of course

.

I nicked a few cigarettes growing up from my mom. I bought my own at 14 and was a full fledged smoker by 16. I quit cold turkey as a New Year's resolution and it's been great. I hated EVERYTHING about smoking: the smell; having to freeze my balls off just to light up; the dizzy spells from smoking in the heat; the rude untimely cravings; the copious amounts of tea and coffee I drank because they went well with the cigarettes and the fact that I couldn't do any sort of exercise without feeling like my lungs were on fire. It's such a relief to be done with it.

They're fierce moreish. The bastards.
Was off them for 4 months, but I'm pretty much back on them (though not as much as before).
Gonna try quit again from the 1st of July.

Bozo Skeleton · 21-06-2013 02:36AM

I gave them up for a while years ago. I decided it was only ok to smoke while I was having a drink or smoking a joint. I was drunk and stoned for a month, but hey, I was off the fags.

WumBuster · 21-06-2013 02:41AM

so you dont really see what the big deal is with them, yet you smoke the odd one. great

1shot16 · 21-06-2013 02:46AM
