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.

The beer made me do itFirst night at university back in 1985. Inexperienced in the ways of the world and starting blagging Marlboro reds of a Mancunian.Unlike everyone else here didn't cough and gag, just got addicted. Started me on a habit that lasted till last year. It wasn't the health scares that got me, well not exactly. I just got fed up of being broke and having colds that lasted longer than they should and generally feeling like shite. I'm now on the bloody nicotine gum. I know they say you can wean yourself off with that stuff, but its not as easy as smug non smokers seem to think. I've always said that the smoking wasn't the key, the ritual, the mood and all that, to why I smoked. Its nicotine addiction pure and simple.
What always got me though was doctors. For example had to see the quack (a locum) a few weeks ago. Had a quick look at my records then started on a rant about smoking. No suggestions about have I considered giving up, just a rant. Didn't even miss a beat when I told her I hadn't smoked for a year, until she finally listened. Thanks love. I'd suggest that as I'm half your weight, and twice your height I'm in better health than you.
I really do miss it mind. Just now and then
