I smoked my first Cigarettes and i liked it but i am under the age 21. What should i do?

Question

It tase really good. All my friends tell me i should join them and do it. My other friends told me its your health and your life do wat ever you want. I still don't know what to do.

Answer 1

Well, I think in pretty much all the states you can be 18 and buy cigarettes. However, I've been smoking for 17 years now and I am addicted. I know that I will quit one day, but it's going to be very difficult. I remember when I first started smoking at age 15. I wasn't hooked yet and could've, and should've, stopped then. You may have liked the cigarette, but you're not addicted yet. I suggest that you don't become addicted. Of course, the only way to do this is by not smoking again.

Answer 2

Ok I do have experties here. Trust me. Don't get started. The thing about smoking is it slowly drags your body down. I don'y care what anybody tells you - they are addictive. Don't believe me? Go ask someone you know to stop. They can't.

You will be intruducing yourself to an addiction that costs more and more every day. When you get older you'll realize that your body can take less and less abuse.

Leave them alone. I have been quit for 3 and 1/2 years. I have nightmares about smoking a drinking and I pray to God I never go back. I still have the urge especially after a meal but I know if I smoke one in a short time I'll be hooked again.

Don't do it. Trust me. Stay straight.

Answer 3

Well... it all depends on you. Here, in PA, you can buy cigarettes at age 18. You should actually quit before you start wanting a cigarette after eating, when waking up and before going to bed... at least. But thats my recommendation. I've been smoking since I was about 14, and I'm now 20. I was always able to get them though, that was where my problem started.

EDIT
I also agree with abagail

Answer 4

You should go to a hospital and ask if you can visit a patient with end stage COPD for a while. If you have never seen an air hungry person struggling to breathe even though they are already on oxygen at the highest level then you should go see one. If that doesn't take care of your urge to smoke nothing will. Smoking will kill your lungs and cause lots of problems even if you never get cancer. Don't even think about smoking.

Answer 5

Smoke the whole pack within 20 minutes and then go throw up and never touch them again. That is if you wanna live a healthy life and save loads of money! ALSO, someday when you are trying to find a mate, you will only be able to date someone that smokes because you'll be addicted and most women don't want their children exposed to nicotine. That is, if they can get past the stink on your clothes and hands.

Answer 6

There are plenty of people who will find you a turn off just because you will STINK and have smokers breath. One of the most disgusting things is to kiss someone who smokes. My mother died of Lung cancer. It is not a pretty death. She hadnt smoked for 30 years but the doctors told us that her smoking at a young age (she smoked for about 10 years) was likely the cause of her cancer. Just do yourself a favor and dont EVER smoke another one.!

Answer 7

Quit! it's horriable habit my best friends mom started smoking when she was under 21, and still does. and now she's only like 46 and she looks like she's 60 something, and has to use oxygen, and she's not gonna live much longer, and she's alway's in the hospital!

Answer 8

Don't ever smoke another one unless you want to end up with COPD and live your life out hooked to an oxygen tank. Quit before you are addicted!!!!

Answer 9

Stop NOW!! I started smoking at age 13 and liked it. Now I am hooked..I'm 47. Stop before you get addicted. It does affect your health.

Answer 10

It probably wouldnt help them with their problems and would only cause you a ton. EDIT: I think it is funny how people keep thumbing down everyones comments, but yet they dont leave a comment saying what they think should be done...
