If you smoke, when did you start, and why did you try it?

18. As DarkThinker said, felt good and loved the smell.

Stopped 1 week later. It's not hard to realize you don't feel right after a few days.
 
When I turned 18, I went and bought a pack of cigarettes with my friends. I smoked on and off for 1 year, then I smoked regularly for 3 more years until I quit cold turkey.
 
first thing i smoked was a cigar i liked the taste and smell. and inherently over time i just started smoking cigarettes instead. and yes I am still a smoker. Started at 14 and am now 26.
 
i didnt start smoking until i was 18.
i smoked from ages 18 to 26. quit cold turkey july 05, 2005. not so much as a puff past that date.
 
My brother and I lit up some butts in my parent's car when I was 7 or 8. circa 1982.

In '94 when I moved to T.O. for university, I bought a pack of smokes one night when I was bored. 😕

I smoked off and on for about 12-13 years but haven't had my own pack since last October. I've been known to light up when I am out with friends having some beers.
 
I smoked a few when I was around 17 and would bum them sometimes until I started like a year and a half ago. Not really sure why.
 
My friend had a pack and I was curious at 16. Been smoking on and off since then (am 19 now) but have recently quit due to soccer. Though I had one when I was tripping the other night, I can usually say no even if I'm drunk.
 
First was about 16, wanted to try it, thought it was cool, quit for about a year at 20, started again when working with my brother, still smoking at 38
 
First time was 14, one time only. Then I bought some when I was 18, smoked for maybe 2 years, then quit. I was never a chainsmoker. I still get a craving for it. I didn't smoke because I thought it was cool, I just enjoyed it. The smell, the taste, having something to do when you're standing around. I miss it, but I know I'm better off not smoking.
 
All my friends smoked, so I picked it up as well. I was 16. I smoked for 10 years. Haven't haven't had a cigarette in the last 2+ years, and never will again.

How can you love the smell? It smells like total ass. I can't stand being within 20 ft of someone smoking.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I like bowling for the smoke AND the bowling.
 
Started when I was around 16 'cause it was cool. Ended up smoking 3-4 packs a day (30) years worth. Finally got a patch in 1996 and was able to quit. I still get cravings occasionally.
 
I quit smoking cigarettes, though still enjoy a cigar every now and again.
I started smoking because I was drunk and stupid, I think I was 19 or so.

What made you light up that first cigarrete?

What makes people light up that first cigarette? Being ****** morons is what makes people light up that first cigarette.

*footnote: I do not smoke nor have I ever tried it.
 
I was promised asse from a girl when I was a sophomore in college. I smoked and I got asse.. so yea, it was worth it. Now a days, I smoke when other people smoke -- bum cigerattes off of them. I probably average 1 cig every month... use too smoke a lot during the weekends first few years after college.. but those days are long gone 🙂 besides less people are smoking, etc...

While I like the cigeratte buzz... never really addicted... genetics probably.. parents were not smokers. I think I saw my dad smoke 2-3 times in my entire life...
 
My then girlfriend smoked at the time back in '01-'02 She smoked Camels, I tried those and did'nt like them.
Bought a pack of clove ciggarettes (Djarum) and smoked for about 1 mth. After that I stopped............ That ciggarette taste in your mouth while you have a hang over, is not the best feeling **LOL**

Is it true that clove ciggarettes can be smoked legally by people 17 and under in the US?
 
Cloves still have tobacco, so I doubt anyone underage would be allowed to buy them. Love 'em tho! 🙂

I was an irritating militant non-smoker all the way until 21. The girl I was hot for was a smoker and I found I could take plenty of "smoke breaks" with her. Stupidly, I asked her for a cigarette and smoked it, bitching "Bleh! How can you stand this?". Then did it again, and again, until I realized it was actually pretty good. (Dammit!)

Been an off and on smoker for 10 years now... : /
