Don't.
It does not make you look badass, and not cool.
If your friends circle thinks so, then your living in a pretty fucked up place.
In my place, nobody thinks smoking its cool. Everybody who smokes say dont start smokin...but man, its up to you. If you are ready to fuck yourself up(especially when you're growin), for the sake to look cool, well, you're fucked to :).
There are other things which make you badass. Smokin a cigarette does not make you COOL!

I am 14 and smoke only when out, or sometimes i just go in my backyard if I have some lol, I like the taste and it relaxing. Try it, you will like it, make sure to inhale though LOL.

If you're turning them down, it means that you're so clever, so remain clever please!

Smoking is harmful indeed, both physically and emotionally, so honestly, do not FUCK YOUR LIFE on this path, that's all.

If you become addicted to it, it'll be almost impossible to quit it again, so NEVER (even) think about start smoking.

True story.

Not fun, not losing anything, keep being smart, don't EVER do shit like that because of peer pressure, you will most likely lose contact with the great majority, if not all, of the friends you currently have, not worth it.

i'm 16 and i smoke, i started at 13, i suggest to not smoke them, it doesn't make you cool, it basically makes all your money dissapear...FAST.

And is unattractive, I just hate seeing girls smoke, it's horrible

Hence the name, I would say of course you should try it, but if you don't want to don't do it for your friends. It will feel great and you will most likely develop a habit over time and by the time your addiction is set in you'll realize you never knew it was quite so bad, but unlike other people have said, it's very easy to quit if you actually want to, and that's coming from someone who has quit(legitimately for about 10 months each time) more than once and started up again. Also it's important that I say that you will probably meet people through smoking, and quite a few people probably will think you're the coolest person around, especially at your age. Personally although I'm not smoking now for health reasons, I will smoke again, I just like everything about it, it's brought me some of my closest friends, brought me closer to friends I already have, and generally life is good while I'm smoking, and I've always been able to stay athletic. I think that's the best, least biased insight I can give.


tl:dr version

Smoking is bad for you and you may become incredibly dependent on cigarettes... but it isn't impossible to quit, and smoking one cigarette is fine, not to mention that the first time is the best and it's a worthwhile experience.

I was 12 when I had my first cigarette. Didn't start properly smoking till I was..16.
If you are turning them down now then don't bother.
It's not really fun or cool, I smoke just because if I don't I go a little insane and stressy.
People get really dependant on it so don't bother if you really don't want to. It's not a trend.

I smoke once in a blue moon. I use to be a steady smoker throughout high school.

You're not missing out on anything at all. Don't even bother.

Don't start Even though I personally love having a fag when I'm stressed, it's not something to go to. Not starting is so much easier.. Quitting isn't as hard as everyone seems to say, but it's a pain in the arse.

I've started smoking more because I can't sleep these days, and when I'm in college it helps me relax and not be on edge all day with everyone That's not a good thing though.

dont start, its a waste of time, you smell bad, costs alot, etc...

It doesn't cost that much.. 25g of cutters choice will last me about a week, maybe a little more. Thats about £6 a week..

Sounds good to me, you have to really be dedicated though, you won,t be addicted when you first smoke, but you might enjoy it (a lot) and want to do it again regardless

Wish all smokers were like you. I really appreciate your sincerity.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking of taking one, then leaving it until I'm old enough, if I want to smoke then. That should help me make an informed decision. What do you think

Well, although I've already spoken about it, but I'm going to humbly request you to control yourself; do not smoke!

It's not joking, it'll entirely ruin your life.

Nahh, Some people do it too look cool, they fail. I see what it does to my dad so that's put me off .

Dude.. it's smoking. It's not exhilarating at all.
