I am 24 and thinking of taking up smoking (as an alternative to drinking) The physical effects don’t bother me in the slightest. It is the idea that my family (all smokers, except one of my two brothers) will be disappointed in me for starting. And the idea that the pleasure of smoking will be short-lived (I will soon become dependant on cigarettes, to the point where I smoke to feel ‘normal’ rather than to feel the pyschological benefits)
Is it worth it?
