Smoking survey- Your First cigarette, how old & where'd you get it?

Given all the medical data now present. I’m curious as to why young teenagers start smoking? What was your age when you first took a “drag” and where did you get it from (from a parent, friend, store…?)


Why do you think it’s ok to pollute my air (1’ radius around my head) with your disease ridden smoke?


(no- it's not the same as me eating junk food! Junk food has no direct health hazards to another human standing 5' from me!)





Why do you care so little about yourself? Please, no cheesy clichés like ”gotta die someday” or “everything will kill you”…. Those are weak cop-outs!





Really amazed at the ignorance in regards to smoking within the teenage community (and adults)!

Smoking survey- Your First cigarette, how old %26amp; where'd you get it?
I was 10 when I had my 1st. I went to steal a puff from my gramps when he went in the kitchen, but he caught me. Instead of freaking out, he wanted me to know how to smoke it right. So he showed me. He told me never to tell my mother or my gammy. 30 years later, I still haven't.


I became a smoker at 16. I got it from a cigarette machine in a bowling alley. That's how we always got them. They were everywhere. Alley's, gas stations, restaurants.


Now they are non existent.
Reply:I was like 14 and my Mom gave it to me. I told her I wanted to smoke and she started giving me cigarettes whenever I asked for them.





I smoked from the age 14 to the age of 20.


I'm now 23 and I don't smoke anymore!


Yay 4 me!
