I imagine from being bored and trying to fit in I was a social smoker. I smoked because my girl did and I wanted to impress her! In my younger days.

Eh, well it's gonna sound like "peer pressure" but it really wasn't.. It was just something else to do with my buddies... they'd always go out for a smoke break (not to mention 90% of my family growing up was a smoker) so I decided to join him... Now the reason to keep smoking for me was that it gave me something to do.. plus it calms your nerves.. not to mention it feels damn good to light one up after a meal or just waking up or just when your bored as shit and are waiting on something... but oh well, i quit.

originally i started to see how hard it was to quit bc my mom said she couldnt stop and i didnt understand. i started stealing her smokes at 15 smoked til i was 17 and quit cold turkey to show her that i could do it and to find out how so i could tell her how i did it. ive quit a total of 3 times cold turkey after smoking for a few years. now i smoke bc i want to, ill quit again when i feel like it.

i started smoking b/c all my friends were doing it. i have quit a few times, this time i vow to quit for good. ive been clean for 2 weeks now and i can already feel the difference. but menthol cigs are the best for fall and winter season....they will open you up..lol im glad i quit now though

Yeah I would have to say to give me something to do. I went to military school for 2yrs in highschool and there was nothing to do except fish and smoke during our free time. I have been trying to quit for about 3yrs now. Quitting sometimes for 5-6 months at a time, but I get real drunk some nights and start up smoking again.

first thing i smoked was weed at 12 and i thought it was cool cuz my brother and his friends did it. smoked my first cigarette around when sippin on some syrup song came out. 8th grade on up i smoked pot regularly. I quit though. sold all my smoking accessories too.

I never got into cigarettes simply because of the way my grandma used to cough. My moms a smoke and my dad was too, but I never got into it. Most of my friends smoke which I find odd that is still had yet to rub off on me. I guess maybe I like the way my breath doesn't smell like shit at the end of a night, but there's really no telling.

I smoked pot off and on for awhile and never really noticed any effects, but I basically smoked pot to try and get this girl I had a huge crush on, to like me which was a dumb reason I know, but people do stupid stuff to try and get noticed by the opposite sex.

I've never done anything other than cough after smoking. To this day, I smoke a few cigars once a month, but I never inhale... because well, I like being able to outrun who evers chasing me without running out of breath.

maybe that's dumb but eh... just my $.02
