try a cigarette

it was definitely worth doing as I totally confirmed my suspicions that it was HORRIBLE.

Instantly I could feel it in my throat- it didn’t make me cough, but it felt like I was being scratched with fine wire in my throat or something. The taste was also pretty horrible- very musty tasting. I actually quite like the smell of cigarette smoke, but the taste is horrible. I didn’t even get the fabled head-rush. LAME. I tried a menthol, don’t know if that makes a difference- I’d heard that menthols made the smoke not feel as hot when you inhale or something.

Anyway, worth doing in that it made me realise it seriously wasn’t worth doing!

I just think I ought to try one once, so that I can confirm my belief that smoking is bad.

ughh it was just to look cool at 13 years old with my friend, at a cemetry ,hahah. Well it was just stupid good thing i didnt get adicted cuz its disgusting!!

DON’T SMOKE! it’s really really bad 4 ur health! and u might get lung cancer! our health teacher make us 2 do a smoking poster, and do u know what is inside the cigarette???? what are the ingredients? it including : handy andy, mothballs, no-cleus blue cubes for toilet, tea beu surface spray, taft hairspray… it’s really disgusting! will u open ur mouth, and put the no-cleus blue cubes for toilet in????? will u? of course no! so stop smoking! trust me! it’s bad!

I’m 17, and i’ve been smoking for a year and a half. I think that it totally depends on the person as to whether you should smoke or not. I think trying it is totally worth it. I don’t agree with many of the thoughts that go along with smoking. I can stop any day of the week, but i choose not to. I’ve read all different health articles on how it raises your blood pressure so you can’t possibly feel calm, but sorry, i do. I have really bad GAD and having a cigarette calms me down and seems to take my worries away. When I don’t have them, i still feel fine and i never once have gotten irritable from not having nicotine. I realize all health risks attached to the smoking craze, but it’s worth it to me. Live until i’m 100 with horrible anxiety my whole life, or die when i’m 80 from cancer but with a full happy life? I choose the happier one, because no, I don’t realize how horrible cancer could possibly be, but yes I know how horrible anxiety is, and I’d choose physical pain over mental pain any day.

i tried one of my boyfriends cigarettes at his house. im making him quit btw. and today i stole one of my mums cigarettes and went to the woods and smoked it. i loved the feeling in my head i got. that made me feel good. i know its bad. i want to stop. i hate it its iscusting. i have only smoked two but i fear im addicted. my grandpa died from smoking and i dont want the same thing to happen to me. i dont know y i want them!!! i know they are bad!! i know they make u sick and i know it makes it hard for you to breath. so y do i want 1??? because the love the feeling. i love the way i look when i smoke. it makes me feel sexy. IT IS NOT WORTH DOING!! dont try the first 1!! u can get addicted after the first. please dont try the first. i want to stop. i will stop. after reading about what is inside cigarettes and what it does to you, i might finish my last 2 and stop forever. never again after those two will i pick up a cigarette. it makes you sitnk and u cant get the smell off you for agess!! i had to scrub my hands loads of times. i can still smell it after 3 hours. just dont risk the addiction. do not try it and ignore any1 who says that u should!! x

Tried a cigarette in high school. A group of us went to the abandoned barn in the fields behind our street. THE perfect place to try all sorts of things in our misspent youth. I was the only one who didn’t get violently ill or cough up a lung. For some bizarre reason, this made me proud. I found it exciting, exhilarating and loved the buzz (which got me in trouble all throughout my life, that damn buzz.)

It is something which most people have to try for themselves, but try it, put it down and walk away. It is so much easier to walk away after your first one than your millionth one.

I get that there is something very sensual about smoking, after all, that and the nicotine are what kept me smoking for 20 some years. I also get that you may think you look better with a smoke. But truly, if you look good with a cigarette, it is only because you look good without one. As far as the social aspect, you can go out with the smokers, but just don’t smoke. I have friends that do that all the time. I anticipate being one of those people myself, once the cigarettes have lost all power to seduce me.

My reasons for quitting aren’t because I no longer want to be a smoker, I still want to be one. A smoker to me is more than someone who smokes. It defines an attitude towards life: laid back, less uptight, less likely to follow the rules, experimental, charismatic, sensual…I could go on. But I am quitting for more personal reasons, and not really health reasons either. But after 7 days, especially after this weekend, I am very glad I haven’t smoked and am more convinced than ever to never smoke again.

So go ahead, try one, drop it and cross it off your list. Do it now while it’s easy. and good luck.

Well, I went out with my roommate and her friends again last night, and I ended up going out to smoke every time the whole group got up to go smoke… a total of 3 times. I’m conflicted as to whether I should refuse the cigarettes next time.

My roommate and some of her friends smoke socially… last Friday they took me out (my 19th birthday was on March 14), and convinced me that I should do something to mark the age… since I don’t drink, and smoking also becomes legal at 19, they somehow convinced me to smoke a cigarette. They gave me some basic instruction… I still ended up almost coughing a lung out on the first inhale… the smoke feels so disgusting in your lungs! I don’t know how smokers do it! I guess the slight buzz I got was cool though.

so everyone keeps saying it’s not worth it and everything.. but maybe this is just one of those things you need to find out for yourself?

i’m smoking my first one on monday, a friend and I convinced a guy we know to buy us some.. so I’m pretty excited! it’s not really a social thing since most of our friends don’t smoke (well maybe that’s just yet) it’s more just to calm us down sort of. people say smoking calms them down. so we thought it might be good to try.
