If I could reach through the computer and shake you...come here! Are you insane? 14 is old enough to know the dangers of smoking, rapid aging, foul breath, lung cancer, throat and mouth cancer, discolored teeth, not to mention you will stink of smoke.
I was raised in a culture where everyone smoked tobacco and no I did not know the danger or addiction or I would never have started.
Prove your intelligence and don't start and better yet tell your friends not to smoke around you.

Dint be a dumb *** and give in to peer pressure. SMOKING IS NASTY you will smell and it is awful and let me tell allot of girls even though they may like you now, start smoking and see how many follow you around they wont you will smell to bad. It ruins allot of things. And the health problems that will follow. I know that you think it is cool but it is not. I have an entire family of people that smoke and it makes me want to throw up. Just to hear them cough and hack and wheeze. It is gross. Believe it or not just one will turn in to 2 then 5 then half a pack and then to a pack a day. I am sure that there are much nicer things that you would like to buy with your money . What you buy when you buy cigarettes is wrinkles,bad breath, yellow skin,yellow teeth,smelly hair clothes and other belongings also comes with the pack is a chance of cancer of the throat,tongue,esophagus,lungs,and dying a slow and unpleasant death from emphysema
And you never know when this could happen. Also second hand smoke can cause a rise in crib death. You know that too. it is as bad as being over weight. So dont do yourself that favor. Dont smoke it is just not cool no matter how much your friends tell you that it is.

Absolutely not. Don't even try one. I started at 14 and I'm 28 now and have always wanted to quit and never can. I'm on the commit losenges now, and struggling not to have a cigarette. DON'T SMOKE. It's so hard to convince you now, but please just trust me, don't smoke. Don't even try one. You're not missing anything. Before you know it 1 cig a day will turn into 2 then 5 then 10 then a pack and more.

If at all possible you are best leaving it as long as you can before even trying your first cigarette. You might find you like it too much meaning that you will soon be smoking much more than one cigarette a day.
Really only you can decide, you own yourself so it is up to you to weigh the costs vs the benefits of smoking.

I am a smoker and I can help you out with 4 letters DON'T.
I started when I was 12 and now am 33 and I wish I had never started I don't smoke alot about half a pack a day but wish I had never started.
If you start I will find you and beat you down lol. Don't get pressured into it I did.

Don't do it! I started out that way, I told myself just 1 a day and now I can't stop. It is not good for your health. I wish I had never started but I wanted to do like my friends. I regret it today. BTW, I only smoke outside, not in the house or in the car!

JUST BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS DO SHOULD NOT BE A REASON OF WHY YOU SHOULD START/ SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH EVEN JUST ONE CIG A DAY. TAKE IT FROM ME I WISH I NEVER DID START SMOKING CUZ IT IS SO HARD TO QUITE AND I COULD JUST IMAGINE WHAT MY LUNGS LOOK LIKE RIGHT ABOUT NOW ITS NOT FUN COUGHING EVERYDAY. KEEP YOUR HEALTH GOOD AND DONT START BE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR FRIENDS AND LIVE LONGER.

No! Ciggarettes will lead to other things.
Its not cool to smoke. You have bad breath, stained teeth, your clothes smell! On top of that they cost too damn much!
