How was it like when you smoked your 1st cigarette?

I was pretty young 14 or 15...I tried it and didn't like it. I've had spurts through the years that I would buy a pack and chain smoke it, but then not buy another pack for months or even years. I do enjoy an occasional cigar when I'm extremely wasted and drinking scotch or cognac... Smoking regularly is pretty gross though.
 
My first smoke was not what I expected it to be. I had seen on TV when people first try to smoke that they cough up a lung. My experience was nothing like that, even with a Camel. It made me feel a little light headed at first, then I was a little queasy after I had smoked the entire cigarette. I believe I was 16 at the time.

I had smoked off and on from that point on, but I really didn't take up smoking regularly (well, not tobacco smoking 😉) until I got a job where a majority of my co-workers smoked, which was several years later. They would take a shitload of smoke breaks, and I felt left out as a non-smoker. I mean, if you're a smoker it seems like you can take as many breaks as you want.

Anyhow, I don't smoke anymore. I feel tempted sometimes when I am around people smoking, or when I am drinking.
 
My first one was right after smoking up for the first time... I didn't get high off the herb but I caught a cig buzz. It hurt to inhale but I got lightheaded and a little nauseous.

i stopped after 1 puff

Peer pressure at 16 in a car. I wanted to die. It was really bad.

Then I went to college and was pack a day for a while 😉 Among other smokable items that I used.

Actually, a friend of mine will have his 18th birthday tomorrow and he suggested do something "special", and we (my other friends and me) dared him to smoke a cigarette. But the kicker is if he does smoke, we will have to smoke with him too and I'm a non-smoker, so I thought I can hear some of the experiences of the people here.
You're a great friend! Want to come over to my place?

:disgust:

if you wanna do something special smoke a blunt 😉

Or at least a half-decent cigar. Something worth smoking. The stuff in mass-market cigarettes barely even qualifies as tobacco!
 
my first "real" smoke (inhaling and all), it was alright. nothing special. kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and i had a saliva build-up.

but i went through my grit phase young. if im out socially and having a drink, ill smoke a black&mild (b&m) or 2, but thats about it.
 
I smoke a pack every two days...and my first cigarette got me really fvcked up! Gets you a real high...and I believe I was like 16 at the time.
