When did you start smoking?

Adding a poll.. Options will be before 17 after 18.. Just always wondered how many people took up smoking after they became an adult

Paddy Cow · 11-05-2014 05:14PM

I can't vote because I started at 17 and there's no option for that!

MU_Van_Gaal_FC · 11-05-2014 05:14PM

I had my first smoke around 13-14 but I became a regular smoker about 16

osarusan · 11-05-2014 05:14PM

I was between 17 and 18.

henryporter · 11-05-2014 05:15PM

Started at 20, stopped at 37, hope I stopped in time

Before 17 is 16. You should have put before 18 or after 18.

Started at 11, quit at 27 (was pregnant)

Before 17 means anytime from birth to the last day of your 16th year.

I have bad news for you. Non smokers die too. Every single day.

In fact smokers have a better chance of living forever. Even the government advises as such because their non-smoking advertising tagline says that "1 in every 2 smokers will die from a smoking related disease". The other 50% go on to be kind of messiah like figures who live forever, a bit like L Ron Hubbard with a smell of fags off them.

12...shouldn't have touched them candy stick cigarette's before that.buts sure if tom and jerry think its cool then it must be cool!

Boombastic · 11-05-2014 05:59PM

cannibas was the gateway drug for me, after that I just couldn't get enough. it started with an eight, before I knew it I was buying 20 carrols, eventually escalated so much I was addicted to tobacco. I've kicked tobacco now

cloud493 · 11-05-2014 05:59PM

14. Twas also the peer pressure. That and the fact I was the only one tall and big enough to pass for old enough to buy them.

Sir Osis of Liver. · 11-05-2014 06:03PM

The shop across from my school used sell us fags for 10p each.

Something like 80% of smokers start before the age of 18, which is the reason why cigarette ads are targeted towards children. But the amount of people I know who started smoking in college at 19/20 is ridiculous. Forget the part that smoking kills. But your spending more than a hours wage on a packet of cigarettes

Started when I was 12, started giving them up when I was 26 and done that for a few more years, been off them 2 years now but it's the first time I've ever believed it's for good
