Answer 1

There are casual and social smokers, but these people are very far and few between. What's most likely to happen is that you will gradually smoke more and more cigarettes over time, without consciously planning it, until you're smoking between one and four packs a day.

The first time you inhale a cigarette, it will make you choke, your eyes water, and probably make you nauseous. It might even make you puke. The first few will give you a light-headed feeling, for a minute, but this effect goes away quickly.

Smoking makes your fingers, fingernails, lips, and teeth yellow. It causes your skin to wrinkle prematurely. (Especially around your mouth, where you'll have that tell-tale 'smoker's purse' all your life.) Your clothes and hair smell when you smoke, and you can never get the smell off your breath - even mouthwash doesn't kill it. Your voice will gradualy get raspier. (If you sing, you can forget it.) You start to cough at random and clear your throat a lot. Eventually, you'll cough up little yellow phlem chunks, then brown, then black. You'll start to snore, and might even have sleep apnea (where you stop breathing in your sleep). As your lung capacity decreases, you'll be capable of less and less physical exertion. Eventually, you won't be able to walk up a fight of steps without wheezing.

Every smoker has little accidents. You will burn your fingers, your hair, the car, your couch. You will consantly create piles of dirty ash that settle on every surface, crack, and corner of your house. Piles of butts you leave in landfills will last a minimum of seven years. The smoke will make your carpets, drapes, and furniture stink. The chemical content stains them, and even your walls, yellow.

Smoking is incredibly expensive. Any health or life insurance you will be able to get will cost you double. The money you spend on cigarettes will be drained from some other aspect of your life, mostly likely your recreation or your savings.

And this is the best-case senerio. The worst, of course, is heart attack, emphysema, or cancer.

Answer 2

If you breath in the smoke the first time you smoke you will get head spins and actually become a little high. If you do it too quickly you will become green and sweaty and faint. Your lungs will feel like they are being stabbed with knives and you will probably cough. All though all this sounds bad, it is actual this that makes it addictive in the first place. why? because for some strange reason it is fun. I use to smoke for about eight years but quit recently. I don;t really feel healthier only i can seem to breath easier and my lungs don't start hurting every hour that i don't smoke. Go ahead try a smoke, if you want get addicted, smoking can be enjoyable, but that's pretty much it, if won't enhance the way you live or reverse the way live. Just remember if you do start smoking to quit after a few years. you have heard of a condition called cancer haven't you?

Answer 3

Please don't do this to yourself, like most I started young thinking I could quit anytime, and in the beginning I could have, the addiction takes hold on different people at different times. Some can smoke for months before their hooked where others it's weeks, it all depends on your body and brain. My son decided to start smoking when he was 18, smoked for over a year and just put them down, my daughter also started at 18, she still can't kick them. I can assure you this will be one of the biggest mistakes of your life, have you checked out the costs of cigarettes today? When I was out of state a few weeks ago I seen that they were $48.00 a carton, just think what you could do with that money instead of watching it go up in smoke.

Answer 4

You'll be addicted. Once you start, it is so hard to ever stop. Look at all the smokers who are constantly trying to quit. The price of cigarettes keeps rising but the worse thing is your health will deteriorate and may end up killing you or at least shortening your years of life. Your clothes will smell--along with your breath. Nasty habit to start!!!

Answer 5

DON'T do it.

I have been smoking for 25 years. I started because it looked cool and I thought "I can stop anytime I want". That is a lie, once you are addicted, you are hooked.

It is harder to get off cigarettes than it is to get of heroin.

Your clothes smell all the time, your hair smells, your fingers turn yellow (not to mention what it does to your teeth). Your car stinks on hot summer days.

Please, you don't know me, but do me a favor, don't start.


****
Sorry, but KiKi's advice is idiotic. Advising anyone to do something that will endanger their health is just plain irresponsible. No one knows when they will be addicted to cigarettes. Could be the first one.

Answer 6

you'll become addicted. It will probably take more then one though. Take it from a smoker...you don't want to start, and it's not cool

Answer 7

Believe me, it's not cool, although when you're thirteen it may seem like it, it stinks, it's expensive 5-6 bucks a pack? It's a turn off for anybody that doesnt smoke, damages your sense of taste and smell, damages your lungs, damages your heart.

Why would a smart person want to do all that to themselves?

Answer 8

it will completely mess up your health.

smoking contributes to heart attacks.

someone very special to me was a smoker and she had a heart attack and passed away.

please dont ever start smoking, because you never know what could happen and if something bad did happen to you, the people who love you will be so so heartbroken.

take it from someone who knows how it feels.

Answer 9

You will start coughing. And then you will stop breathing.

(Don't get fooled at first thinking you're only smoking a cigarette or two a day so you won't get hooked. That's what I thought too, and...then in a few years I was smoking over a pack.)

Answer 10

You will get addicted
You will smell bad
You will have bad breath
You will have problems breathing (long term)
You will start to cough up phlem (long term)

It's not cool.. it's really gross.

I got my hubby to quit more than 2 years ago and although it is a struggle for him every day I can tell his breathing is much better now. He doesn't wheeze all night long.
