I want to start smoking. Im 17 and just want to be a social smoker. I dont want to become too adicted. I know its bad to give in to peer pressure but I've been thinking about smoking for a long time now. Have you got any tips on how to get started. I've heared osme awful stories about peoples first cigarettes!



Well first you've got to get into smoking Smack and crack, then you kind of work your way down so that smoking isnt really that bad as you have other addictions to feed.

have fun.

Don't do it u'll regret it if u do. I have occassionally been tempted when offered a cigarette if mates r smoking but if u start doing it u'll do it every time u go out and will gradually become addicted and will end up having 2 smoke every day. Wot r the benefits of smoking ne way i can't think of ne and i'm sure if ure mates r good ones they will respect u not wanting 2 smoke. There r loads of bad points about smoking: nails go yellow, teeth go yellow, hair stinks, bad skin, carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen reaching vital organs, cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitus......Sorry i'm sure u didn't want a lecture but once u r addicted it will b really difficult 2 give up cos of the withdrawal symptoms and also it will become a habbit. Also those patches cost about 20 quid a time. My uncle died at about 50 from cancer caused by smoking and my nan also died really ill with loads of problems caused by smoking.

Go for it, i think your an idiot, but go for it. Its your life blah blah. Ive never smoked a cigarette before but i smoke cigars occasionally and one is enough to put you off for the night.

I wouldn't start if I were you. I wish I never had. Quitting wasn't easy.

lol you either want to start a whole "omgzzz don't smoke" debate for attention or your strange!

if you want to start smoking (which i might add is the ops decision not anyone else... so you should tell them how to do it not slag them off) just buy some... go for lights if you've never smoked before though!

how about trying a cigarette???

it is silly though...but i smoke socially, but that turned into smoking when exams are on, to just one or two a day etc etc.

i'm back down to just smoking down the pub at the moment.

i don't regret it. being young is about doing silly things. lol.

but seriously what advice do you need? lol. just try a cigarette if you really want to!

Why people have to give in to peer pressure i do not know, grrrr there's too much bloody peer pressure on everything, smoking, sex, drink etc.

Be yourself don't smoke just because your being pressured into it or because your friends are doing it, at the end of the day you will mess up your lungs.

Yeh lights or maybe menthol cigarettes.

Firstly, can I just say you are a prick. I read that and think- 'what a sheep'.

There is no trick to getting started. The idea is you put one in your mouth and smoke it. The trick is finishing. But clearly you arent bothered about the years you will lose with your family as your addiction causes cancer and you die.

You've got to laugh at the stupidity of this thread. Who on earth asks for advice on how to start smoking.

To the OP: You can't just say you want to be a social smoker...it doesn't work that way. Plus with the government trying all they can to ban smoking, now seems a pretty silly time to start it up.

If you want to smoke and not be addicted maybe you could roll your own ciggarettes with non-addictive herbal fillings (I am not suggesting cannabis btw).

you must have some problems if the only way you feel you can socialise is by lighting up a cigarette. just ask one of your 'friends' i they have any spare.
