Your first cigaretteTo be honest, inhaling the fumes from some burning leaves isn't the most natural thing in the world.
Tell us about the first time. Where, when, and who were you trying to show off to?
Or, if you've never tried a cigarette, tell us something interesting on the subject of smoking.
Personally, I've never ever smoked a cigarette. Lung damage from pneumonia put me off.

Thank you, Dad!My dad was an ardent smoker from the age of 12 until his death at 80. He grew up in era when smoking was not considered unhealthy; rather, it was glamorous and sophisticated. He maintained that belief throughout his life. Of course, he saw nothing wrong with giving me my first cigarette when I was in 5th grade (for you non-Americans, that means I would've been 10 years old). Gave me my first beer around the same age, too. I consumed both regularly until I was a poor college student, couldn't afford to buy either, and my friends got sick of me mooching off of them. Clearly, dad wouldn't have won any parenting awards, but I turned out fairly well, I don't drink or smoke, and I appear to have suffered only minimal brain and lung damage.
