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.

I suppose ...... the first try of a real cigarette was when I was about 9 or 10, when my uncle - he's only 9 years older than me - was babysitting for us with a couple of his mates. It was one of those brown "More" ones, and - as per usual - much coughing ensued.
That put me off for a bit, but began again at about 15. Didn't take long to get past the retching stage, and was soon on nasty JPS. By Uni, was on 20 or more a day Marlboro Reds, alternated with a Menthol brand, Consulate or St. Moritz or something.
I remember helping get my sister into the habit, and getting through pretty much a whole pack with her one evening while the 'rents were out. So naive as to think "Shake n Vac" really would put the freshness back into the carpets and furniture.
Gave up at about 21, when I met the present Mrs Newell, and although I've had a few lapses over the years, I now - many years later - have nought but the odd cigar.
