If you have family or friends who do it and you are around it you still have a pretty good chance but not as much as just smoking

Axe wrote I don't see how people can even start smoking. If you have ever looked at a box of cigarettes, it says right on the box that 1 out of 2 smokers will get lung cancer sometime during their life times.

Honestly as a smoker I do not mind, whenever that happens it happens. I tend not to value many things, so I can keep living the way I want.

I've been smoking since I was 12 + Green. (17 Now) And my lungs and everything is fine.

... Telling us like you're proud about the fact that you started smoking with the age of 12. Idiot c:

Some people are not trying to show off but the ones that do are inmature and need to grow up.

You don't realize how hard it is to stop, i smoke, not lots, but i smoke. I don't think it's 'cool' i hate it, but I've made the mistake of starting.

Forever broke haha

Meh just stick to weed that's what I do and it's a laugh.

BigWes wrote This seriously makes me furious. People who smoke (Yes I'm in highschool, and there are these immature juggalos who come around me and my bros and smoke). First off all, we don't know them, second of all they walk around like they own the place because they smoke cigarettes. I'm just there trying to eat my lunch, BAM smokers everywhere in the parking lot. Also they never get caught, and our Vice principal just says "No smoking guys" to us, we don't smoke. I hate teenage cigarette smokers.

A lot of teen smokers start from peer pressure. Although they may look like they enjoy doing it to act 'cool', the majority started because of peer pressure from other friends and obviously, as it being a drug, caused them to become addicted and continue. But, yes, it is horrible seeing this 'teen smoking' become a trend.

Smoking weed can be very bad for you. Smoking weed, in the short term period, has a worse effect then if you were to get drunk. Smoking weed can cause a loss of coordination, problems with memory, distorted perceptions etc. It also has the same effect on the lungs as tobacco smokers have. In some cases people who smoke weed are three times more likely to get cancer.

All in all, don't smoke.
