normal heartrate for anyone over 12 is 60-80 so in that category you are fine.
but even at your age-you should know the dangers of smoking. think about it-if you continue to smoke, by the time you are 25 you could have already developed lung or throat cancer (for which there is no cure), high blood pressure, teeth problems including gum disease, copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder), and/or emphysema.
what horrible things to have at such a young age. and the older you get and the more you continue to smoke-the worse your health becomes. imagine having to carry around a portable oxygen tank to be able to breathe before you turn 30-a very strong possibility since you are smoking so young...
sorry to sound like a nagging mom-but i'm a nurse and i've seen all of these things.

A pulse rate of 72 is perfectly normal, you don't need to see a doctor if that's the only thing that's worrying you. I would stop smoking though, you'll be doing yourself a huge favor, extending your life, and improving your future health immensely by stopping now before you've had a chance to smoke much.

A pulse of 72 beats a minute is a completely normal heart rate for an adolescent or adult. With regard to cigarette smoking, you already know enough by your age to know that smoking is bad for your general health and your lungs, and you are at a stage of very fast physical development at your age, and an unhealthy drug isn't a great idea.
But, I think you know this already.

Why have you never seen a Doctor before? Google the average heart rate dude. Average heart rate is 69 - 72.

Well, if your smoking at 13, there's obviously something
wrong with you, but i'm sure you know this.
So, yes, see a doctor. Quit smoking.

You don't need to see a doctor. You need to stop smoking. That's what a doctor will tell you.

For your age your heart rate is in the normal range....you didn't have to tell us you smoke, we already know because we can smell you from here...it's in your hair, your skin, your breath and your clothes...
