I'm 14, have never smoked in my life until this morning. If I only smoke 1 or 2 cigarrettes a day for only about 2 or 3 weeks, will there be any lasting bad effects? I got used to it almost immediately, only coughed the first time I inhaled. I'm not totally hooked yet, I can still quit if there are gonna be any lasting effects. I know I will only be smoking for a few weeks, I have very strong willpower, and my supply will be cut of anyway. Thanks!

Your skin will crumple, ur breath will smell, and ur teeth will turn yellow in just a week or so. also do not think that you cant quit because addicts always say that and its always false. dont matter if ur supply is cut off, an addict always finds a way. If you want your life to go down the toilet, then sure grab a couple cigs, if not, then dont sucumb to peer pressure of those nitwits who will be crack sellers anyway. If i dont get a swear on your mothers life within 48 hours, i WILL track your ip adress and street adress, then send it to the police. I have done it many times to people who admit to illegaly smoking on the internet. I suggest you dont test me. My grandmother who lived with me for all my life just passed away to cigs so im in a really foul mood especially to smoking.

QUIT AS SOON AS U CAN. U don't know how many friend I got that smoke and say "I can quit , but I don't want to" , even if that's not true.
"I know I will only be smoking for a few weeks, I have very strong willpower, and my supply will be cut of anyway" - ha-ha , U make me laugh
the bad effects will not be reversal if U can't stop smoking
SO DON'T FU**ING START SMOKING !!!

You in a few weeks may not wanna quit. I am 15 and have never smoked. The person who is supplying you I think should maybe be cut out of your life. Like I said before I think your willpower is strong now but you may regret this in the long-term if you choose badly.

I had the same question when I was your age, if I only smoke one or two a day, every now and then will it go away. I am now 26 going on 27 and not only do I still smokw, but I smoke about a pack and a half a day. It might've been good the first time, but don't let it or your friends fool you, you will get hooked and when you become of age to smoke legally your self control will lessen. Not to mention that when you try to stop and you really want one it makes you eat more . . .!!

There are lasting affects to smoking even if you only do it for a few weeks. Also your will power isn't always as strong as you think it is, especially if your body gets addicted. Why would you want to put yourself through the with drawl? Also you are only 14, you shouldn't even have access to cigarettes. I would do some research on smoking and the health risks before you decide to smoke. Everyone is going to tell you to stop, I'm just going to recommend you base your decision on facts not peoples responses to your question, do your research!

Even a year of smoking isn't that bad. The effects only become irreversible after a person has smoked for a while (like at least 10 years.) Don't worry, you'll be fine.

My BF started smoking at 19, he only smoke because everyone around him smoked. He also wanted to stop after just a week, but he couldn't. He was already addicted. It is sooooo easy to become addicted. Every single adult that I have talked to said they wished they had never picked up a cigg. It stinks, no one wants to kiss an ashtray do they?? Because that's what it's like kissing a smoker. It's bad for those around you, it's really bad for you too. My grandpa died of throat cancer because he had smoked most of his adult life. PLEASE STOP WHILE YOUR AHEAD!!! Stop while you still can! You yourself said that your not TOTALLY hooked, Don't you see!! You're already so close to becoming an addict, please take care of your body and kick the habit before it kicks you.
I wish you all the luck in the world.

Millions of people, all with "very strong willpower" try to quit every day... and cant.
You are only fooling yourself if you think you can break a PHYSICAL ADDICTION. Your body is changed to NEED the cigarette. It is not like willpower to just not eat a Krispy Kream donut... it is a physical addiction, and you will not be able to quit.
And you will have a shortened, unhealthy life. Dont touch them.

You are setting yourself up for a lifetime of problems. .
14 days of smoking--even if it's 1 or 2 cigarettes a day--is enough to make an addict out of you, and people who start smoking at your age have the hardest time quitting.
Quit now.
