I strongly recommend you against smoking. Smoking just has TOO many health issues associated with it (even as passive smoker). The price is just too expensive for your health just to get that "cool-as-hollywood-top-actor" image.

Of course, some people would argue : "Life is just too short anyway, why bother with that health warning BS???"

Well, i could write a really abusive counter-argument for that sentence but let's don't :D Just don't bother with them.

Instead of smoking, you could try another things :
- Chewing gums (I do this ...) ?
- How about trimming your abs and get that elusive "six-packs" ?
- Break dance class ?
- Sony PSP ? Nintendo DS ?
- etc, etc, etc ... use your imagination

Please realize that I don't advise you against your friend, I just advise you against smoking :D

If any person offer you a cigarette, just refuse them politely (I always tell them : "Thank you, but my mouth just fell too sour for a cigarette right now")

If you really couldn't resist it, well, it's your choice. Just remember this handy tip : "Light both ends of the cigarette before smoking"

I hope this helps (finger crossed)...

Best regards,

Yeah, it's fun until you realize that you stink, that your house stinks, that your car stinks. It is fun until you realize that you are addicted and you will be constantly stuck in places where you can't feed your addiction because we are becoming a smoke-free world. It will be fun until it is freezing outside or raining and you have to go stand in it and smoke. It will be fun until your fingers and teeth turn yellow. It will be really fun until you meet a hot guy who is into you but is then turned off by your smoking and doesn't want to date you. It will be fun until every six months you get an upper respiratory infection and allergy season hits you like a ton of bricks. Smoking can be very fun, that is until you can't walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like you chest is collapsing. Smoking is fun until you realize that you are spending a hundred dollars a month on cigarettes that you could be spending on a hot pair of heels or cute purse. Smoking is so much fun until it isn't anymore, and then quitting is a total b*tch.

Answer 6

The fact that you would ask such a stupid question shows that you are obviously not mature enough to be smoking. Besides the fact that it is a filthy, disgusting, expensive and potentially life threatening habit! If all of your friends decided they were going to kill themselves would you do that too? Would that be fun? It's basically the same thing, just a slower process. No one likes to smell that crap and boys won't want to kiss you when your mouth smells like an ash tray.........that is really attractive!

Answer 7

yes, absolutely, I;ve been smoking for 26 years and I have had no regrets. Its a great lifestyle enjoyed by millions and it will befit you in so many ways. Starting is easy and once your body get acclimated to the nicotine you are off and running. A cigarette, is many different things to a smoker, but above all, smoking allows you to say to the world, "hey, this is my time....so back off" and it will be your social grace as well as your indeppendent time of solace. If you decide to start you'll be joining the 40 million others int he US who have choosin a fantastic lifestyle.

Answer 8

I won't judge or preach but bottom line it does have negative health effects,but so do Big Macs and it does give a little buzz I hear but that is soon replaced with just feeling okay.And some people dislike the fact that they are fairly expensive especially if you become one of thoese people who smoke 4-5 packs a day.But I have known folks who smoke and live to old age.

This is from James J's wife, Anna J :)
HECK NO!!!! Geez, it is NOT fun! It's a horrible, addicting, money draining, health killing.... you get my drift. Listen, I understand where you're at right now, you don't see how you can start smoking and not quit when you want to. But, I've been smoking for 17 years now, and the only thing I've got to look forward to is either spending a load of money at the doctor's to quit or spending a load of money at the doctor's to treat cancer or one of the other myriad of health problems you can get!!!! PLEASE don't start smoking!!!

Answer 10

u shouldnt start cuz there is a big chance u'll get addicted
if all ur friends are i'm sure ur already getting lots of second hand
not telling you to change ur friends, theyre probably nice ppl and i understand how ppl can influence you
i believe every person could try everything out once, hopefully you will not like it after that once and never touch it again
gd luck take cares

Answer 11

If you shoot yourself in the head, you'll save a lot of money and a life time of slow wheezing degeneration, for the same ultimate effect.

Alternatively, you could just burn $20+ a day - that way you get a similar financial outcome with minimal health damage
