I tried smoking when I was twelve years old. But I never got addicted, and am very much a non-smoker. I can't stand being around cigarette smoke now. My parents didn't really care, and I got cigarettes at the local convenience store, like all the other kids in that city. However, I'm an older person, and the laws are much stricter about that sort of thing now. The stores weren't supposed to sell things like cigarettes, beer and condoms to minors, but nobody enforced it and it was easy enough to just walk in and buy the stuff. As for drinking, yes, I do drink socially.

Tried smoking when I was 16; got it from an older friend; hated it; I'm 43/F now.
Never tried pot.
Tried a couple of drinks when I was 39; still like Pepsi better, so no, I don't drink.
Have almost always lived in the city.
Parent's never knew about anything til I was an adult, but they sure as heck would have cared if they'd known I smoked at all, and I would probably have been grounded.

I've smoked in the past but I've since developed an allergy to it so I can't even be around people smoking. I was about 13 when I first tried it and stopped at about 22 (I didn't smoke all the time, just occassionally). I am only a social drinker, maybe one drink a year. I grew up in a family of alcoholics and drug abusers so my mother didn't care if I was drinking at an early age. I remember my first drink (beer) at 10. When I was young (under the age of 10) my mother thought it was real funny to get her kids high, so yeah, I grew up smoking pot. When I was about 10 I figured out it wasn't so cool and I quit, but I did get high once when I was 16, but probably because I was drunk! Yeah, I had a screwed up childhood but I overcame the adversity and at 35 the worst I've done is smoke pot (last time at 16) and drink (last drink was in London over the summer and it was 1 drink because I was out with friends). I am also female and live outside Chicago.

I tried smoking when I was 17. I don't smoke regularly, and my parents would've killed me if they knew. I had my first drink when I was 14. I don't drink very often, I haven't in at least 6 months. I tried smoking pot when I was 17. I used to smoke it somewhat regularly, but haven't in 3 or 4 months. I'm 19, female, and live in the city.

I smoked in high school my mom wasn't happy and my dad was furious. I quit until I was in my 20's then I started smoking again. I smoke for like 5 years then I quit for good. At the time I was smoking I lived in Houston, Texas. I drank a lot in high school too. I stopped drinking about 7 years ago. I kept getting sick from the alcohol so I just quit I still drink virgin drinks though. I tried pot in high school and I wasn't too impressed.

Yes I have tried smoking, I was 16. Don't smoke regularly - I didn't hate it but I know the effects it has and that was what put me off. My parents would have got incredibly mad if they knew I even tried smoking once. I drink occasionally and no I never tried any drugs.
I am 17, female and live in a middle-sized town.

I do smoke, I'm 24 though, so my parents can't say anything, I haven't drank anything alcoholic since like Mother's Day, celebrated with my sister, we are both mothers. And as for pot, that was the last time I did that too. I'm so ready for some though, going through a really hard time right now. My bf and I are both moving in with our parents and then he's going into the Navy, so it's really hard right now.
