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.
