what age did you start smoking???

[lavonnaseyer]

I am just curious what age everyone started smoking? Was it pure pressure or not?
 
I started smoking when I was 14, and it wasnt because of pure pressure, I just decided to start up one day!!! I have loved it since!!! It relieves stress, and calms me down when I am upset!!!

I was 12 when I smoked my first. Loved it right away. Felt so grown up!

That was me too! I'm sure the decision to become smokers is the first adult decision that many, if not most of us make.

I was 13 when I started to smoke, my dad in Ohio gave me my first cigarette just to try it, who new i'd get addicted, well i'm 17 now and lets just say I hide it from my mom. her, my dad, and my step dad, and aunts smoke the other day my mom was on the phone and said if I started smoking she couldnt say much to me. should i tell her?

I felt the same thing too about how boys noticed me once I became a smoker. The first adult decision I made.

I got the occasional puff from my mom starting at 3 or 4, and when I was 6 she taught me to light cigarettes for her, and I would get 3 or 4 puffs each time, several times a day. By 7 I was smoking whole cigarettes, and have smoked ever since and love it!

I started amoking arond the age of 13 - both my parents smoked back then so I had to try it !

I'd been smoking in secret for about 18 months - I stole my mom's Salems at first and then started buying my own after about 6 months when I was 16.
