Whos just started smoking and what made u start like me i love it never smoked in my life till 6weeks ago iam 37

please try and give it up - lung cancer does kill - I'm currently in remission, but it'll come back and it's all through smoking!

Think of your health. I'm in my fifties and have to take medication every day just to breathe. I'm out of breath walking on the flat, and have to take many and frequent breaks when walking up-hill. I even get out of breath walking down stairs.

Is this what you want for yourself? I am now a burden on my daughter. I hate having to depend on other people to do the things I used to take for granted - and it's all down to cigarettes. Please, think before you light another one.

Breaking up with a boyfriend and taking multiple outings to clubs each weekend consecutively for 8 weeks after we left each other, I ended up smoking other peoples cigarettes, and then just figured I might as well buy a pack of my own. Ironically, that guy and I are back together and he doesn't mind me smoking.. :/ I'm 26 & have been smoking 4 years.

seriously, do you work for Rothmans or Pall Mall or something? no one in their right minds would advertise smoking in your 30s as something likeable unless they worked for Big Tobacco... what a sad stunt.

You need to do what you need to do. Sometimes it is counter intuitive (or productive). Is it dangerous and unhealthy? Definitely. But I'm in the same situation. I know what the dangers are and I do it anyway. Does this make stupid or some other negative label. No, it doesn't. Until others have been in our shoes they won't get it. That said, you should most certainly not smoke (she said while puffing away).

Seriously non smokers are truly righteous ignoramases.

I enjoy cigarettes. I started when I was 17. For many years, I was the one non-tobacco-smoker in my broad group of friends and acquaintances. I enjoyed being different. I actually didn't start smoking until I became sort of a recluse. And that's my story about how I'm so cool because I started smoking for myself and not out of peer pressure.

I didn't start recently, it's actually been a little over a year. I was under a lot of stress, I was at a point in my life where there wasn't really anything good in my life-in fact, I was deal with a lot of bad things at that point in my life. And there was no one I could turn to. The few people that were sympathetic couldn't do anything to help me. The rest just laughed. I was bitter and angry. I don't know, I got the stupid idea that I should do something rebellious, something that would shock people if they found out. Stupid, right? Anyway, at that moment I was standing behind the register at work, and looked up to see packs of cigarettes. I debated it all day, then eventually broke down and bought a pack. I went home and smoked one in my dorm room, I didn't cough, I didn't mind the taste, I didn't feel sick....I like it....A LOT.

Nothing could make me smoke.
To be honest I don't understand how anyone could in their right mind pick up a cigarette today.
