And if you're an ex-smoker, what made you stop?
Just out of curiosity

Never was a smoker.

All i smoke is hookah
Tried it once at a party and I was done. literally heaven imo

I wanted to be skinny and beautiful, so I started skipping meals and smoking cigarettes instead.

Had my first cig at 14, just out of curiosity with my friends and it was kind of fun sneaking about doing something I knew I would get in trouble for. Then I would smoke socially every now and then from about 15-17. Then I started smoking daily at college as everyone would go to the smoking area on every break, so it was either go outside and sit there or go outside and join in with a cig. Then I started going clubbing at 18 too and almost everyone smokes on nights out. So in answer to the OP I started because it was social and at younger ages it was just fun to sneak around and do something bad lol

Now I am at uni and have cut down to about 2-3 a day, simply because it's too expensive as a student

Being around it

R.I.P. your lungs

my dad is a heavy smoker and I have to endure secondhand smoking sometimes
I hate it so much and it destroyed my nose ever since I was a kid
now he's gone for good and I don't have to deal with that ****ing cigarette smell anymore

My brother was like "you wanna hit this blunt?" And I was like "yeah"

Serving in the military for 2 years. Smoking helped make the time pass a lot faster.

Bad company.

it's said that it's even worse than cigarettes

I started because it was 'cool' within school to smoke and skip lessons etc. I stopped because it's dirty AF and a money waster. Plus for vanity.

I smoked for the 1st time out of curiosity because all of my friends and everyone around were smoking. And then I liked it.

Peer Pressure. Thought it was cool and ****.

Trying to cut down and vaping has helped me at least. Haven't smoked more than 5 in two weeks now. Hopefully this will continue. (although I might in a Sat party but whatevs:.

Curiosity. I don't smoke that much because I don't want to smell like Weed once I walk to work.

Children.

I was staying at this place. The family had 3 small kids and one teenager. Since I grew up as an only child, I was never exposed to that kind of noise.

8 years later and I smoke like a chain, that is to say a chainsmoker
