Do You smoke?

[Guest]

I am curious how many of you smoke here, what age were you when you started, where do you get your cigarettes, do your parents know and do you get any hassle.

Most of my friend’s parents don’t know they smoke, but mine found out about a month after I started and went ballistic. Although they don’t try and stop me they constantly moan at me to quit. Buying cigarettes is next to impossible and I need to get older friends, cousins to buy them for me

I don't and never will be.
Why are you smoking?

They are right to go ballistic at you and moan at you to quit, smoking is foolish, it shortens your life, increases risk of cancer, makes you smell, and is also a selfish thing to do among non-smoking friends. Quit while you're young, smoking doesn't make you look 'cool'...

And the reason you find it hard to buy them is because they have an age restriction on them to protect impressionable young people like you from ruining their lives smoking little white cancer sticks. I know it sounds harsh, but its 100% true.
