Actually, BDodgy, you don’t really need to add sarcasm tags. Most people on the board can identify written sarcasm.
Obviously, you can’t, but most people can.

After spending years ragging my mother about black lung and heart disease, when Iwas 16 i wanted to be cool one night at a party. That very first night I smoked a pack, and I smoked a pack or more every day thereafter for 26 years, with two feeble attempts at quitting, until 26 days ago, when I quit for good.
It was Christmas Eve and I was a little bit wobbly. In fact, I was wobbly and wet due to seasonal precipitation of biblical proportions. Having worked out the intricacies of the front door, I wound my merry way past the Christmas tree, negotiated past the little pile of presents creeping across the floor and arrived at the roaring fireplace with a view to drying out my trousers.
Before long, I became distracted by the cards on the mantelpiece and forgot what I was there for. Shortly there after, I found myself smoking - a lot. Thankfully, it was only for a few minutes (a drunken hopping while swiftly undressing dance) and I haven’t smoked since. It can seriously damage your credibility.
I was highly depressed the summer I was 17…my aunt had just died, my boyfriend had cheated on me then left me for the girl, and my two best friends and confidantes moved to Pittsburg. Plus I was insanely bored. So I smoked for lack of anything better to do. I’m 18 years old and it’s been over a year…I managed to quit for 4 months, but I’m back again I never thought it was “cool” acutally…I prefer to not smoke w/lots of people around, I feel really really bad when the smoke blows into their faces
I was actually smoking dope first. So, one night when I was stoned and someone offered me a smoke (cig), I kinda liked the extra dizzy feeling. It complemented the high. What a dope! It would take twenty-seven years before I found the will to quit.
I guess I’ve tried a lot of cigarettes, but can’t say I ever started smoking.
The first time was at 13, and they passed one around waiting for the schoolbus. They said I bogeyed it, which means got it too wet on the end, and after that I didn’t dare try one for a couple of years.
The first time I smoked I was seventeen. I had a very hard time making friends at that age, so when a girl I was hanging out with for the first time suggested it, I gladly took a cigarette. It was a menthol and I couldn’t light it at first. By the time I had smoked about half of it I was too dizzy too stand up. A few drags later I threw up all over the movie theater parking lot. Naturally, I took up the habit immediately. I don’t necessarily regret it. I made a lot of friends that way and now that I’m 20 I have stopped for over three months. All in all, a pretty good experience.
Actually I think I’m just like the OP guy. I smoked weed first. One of my best buddies, still is, would hand me smokes and say “hey try this–it’ll help your buzz kick in.” I kinda enjoyed it. At first I only smoked 1 or 2 ciggarettes a day, then 3 or 4, 5 or 6… Now I’ve been smoking a pack a day, or slightly less, now for 4 years. I do wish I hadn’t started. Bad habit–but enjoyable (hmmph!).
Well, my parents both smoked-my mom was back on More 100’s(those annoying brown dogrocket-looking things) about one year after I was born. I dodn’t really start in earnest until college, when, coincidentally, my coffee intake went through the roof. Smoked through college-the year in Europe didn’t help much-and decided to quit when the stress from my first REAL job got to be too much, and affecting my health.
That was two years ago, and I haven’t had much use for coffee since then either.
One good thing it did get me was a bunch of new friends who I would never have met otherwise-who the hell else is going to be outside in 25-degree weather during finals if not to blacken their lungs. Met my wife that way, too.
I wanted to commit suicide, but wasn’t really in a big hurry.
Actually, that’s not really that far off from the truth. I was a disaffected suicidal teen looking for a way of dropping as many hints as possible that I was fucked up without actually having to go through with the suicide attempt. So I started smoking as a ‘warning sign’.
Thirteen years later, I’m relatively well-adjusted (yeah, well, I said relatively) but I’m still smoking.
