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

[Scarpozzi]

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.

I've never smoked anything, ever.

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.

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:

Or at least a half-decent cigar. Something worth smoking. The stuff in mass-market cigarettes barely even qualifies as tobacco!

Same here. Had no desire to do such things.

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 got cancer and died on the spot.
