I started with Marbolo Reds when I was about 14~15. Since, I can say that my favourite ones were Lucky Strike and Chesterfield. I now smoke mostly kreteks which I love. Rather hard to get, though.

I'm not going to tell you not to smoke because it's your decision. You've got free will, I'm taking the leap in thinking you know the dangers and you stated that you are doing it to hang out with your mates.
Personally, I grew up with smokers. From mom and dad to babysitters, I was literally surrounded by tobacco. I've got no problem with it but just be aware that every time you light up, someone will be on your case with medical facts. Just let them say their stuff, don't be combative and move on with your day.

Good for you. If you like it then go for it. Don't let anyone get you down.
And it's not like they can say anything new at this point. Everything negative about smoking has already been said. If someone wants to make the informed choice to smoke, let them.

Seriously, I do not believe what I have just read...
Smoking is absolutely terrible, I smoked 40 a day and started "because of the cammarade....blah blah blah". Sorry but you are addicted already (Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs available even compared to heroin) so do not give any of this rubbish about quitting whenever you want.
I quit after 12 years, reason being, i couldnt even breathe in a morning (31 years old at that point), I have no been clean for 2 years and yes I do consider it "clean", as the hold it had on me was terrible.
I am guessing you are post 16 pre 19 or thereabouts because no adult in their right mind would start smoking because of the "camaraderie", this stinks of peer pressure, or sheer stupidity. Seriously kid quit before it is too late.
Want it evne more bluntly you are paying to blow smoke out of your lungs or to get cancer, one of the two, either is fecking stupid.
Seen too many peopls lifes, near enough my own, ruined because of smoking....

You smoke for the camaraderie? You couldn't, you know, just walk outside and hang out with them?
Of all the reasons to smoke, that is the one I understand the least... not that I fully get any of them to begin with.

It's scientiffically proven that your penis shrinks when you smoke.
There. Maybe now you'll stop rotting your lungs.
Scary (unchecked) facts aside i think you might wanna look into some other ways to spend your time with your friends. Maybe one the lengthens your life instead of shortening it.
My grandpa got seriously ill from smoking so i've seen the effects of it and it's not pretty.

I snort cocaine at parties for the camaraderie.PHOENIXRIDER57 said:
You know what? It's your body. It's one thing to walk into my house and smoke (I'm very sick so it's not the best idea to inhale anything bad) but you can do whatever the heck you want in your own house or outside. Don't let anyone stop you if you don't feel like stopping. This goes for anything, not just smoking. You have a right to do whatever the heck you want so use it.
Thats great, I started last October cos I was bored, not the best reason, and I find it nice just to step outside for 5 mins every 3 or 4 hours. Anywho, I find rollies much nicer, it took me a few weeks to learn to roll properly, and its nearly impossible when your really pissed, but that makes it more satisfying. It also works out to be slightly cheaper, one time I made a tally everytime I rolled one, and I got 32 out of a 12.5 gram pouch (I roll them quite thin) and also you don't get that metalic taste in your mouth, or is that just me. If you can't roll just spend a couple of quid on a little rolling machine.
My problem is, I am now addicted to rollies, I smoked about 6 straights in a row once as I had run out of tobacco, and I just never got that nice hit that you get with rollies. My mate was cross with me, but I payed him back.

Do I really need to get into a tirade about smoking being unhealthy? As you already know that, you know, you could DIE, I'll touch on the cosmetic disadvantages to smoking: It results in bad odor (having lived with smoking parents, I can testify to this) bad teeth, yellowed fingers, horrid breath. Use breath mints, and soak your clothes as many times as you want, you are going to smell like smoke for quite awhile.
The parents mentioned earlier have quit smoking a few months ago, in a 4-6 month period they have saved nearly half a thousand dollars, and they were medium/casual smokers. Do you really want to get roped into financing a destructive habit, that destroys your appearance, your wallet, and your health?
I have never smoked, nor do I have a desire to smoke.

your 18, go find something better to waste your money on like women, or getting some decent games for your 360, actually from the looks of it you've barely played it, go play it.

I can tell you with 100% honesty that not everyone who smokes has said that.artanis_neravar said:
Me and 2 of my friends smoke and we've never once said we're not addicted and can quit anytime we want.
In fact i've said it time and time again that I am addicted and have no intention of quitting .... ever.
