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.

Smoking in the ScoutsI started smoking when I was 12 years old. I was in a small town in Dumfriesshire called Wanlochhead with my local Paisley Scout troop (7th Paisley JNI for anyone who is interested).
Being a local Paisley lad, I tended to be a bit of a rebel, so I took up the cool art of smoking. I sneeked a packed of fags from the machine in a local shop a proceeded to smoke the whole 20 packs in about an hour in a half.
So cue me getting very ill, staggering back to the campsite, throwing up everywhere and spending the night in the campsite hospital tent due to some unknown tummy bug (sorry guys, my confession is that I smoked too much and made myself ill and it wasn't anything to do with Ian Barr's cooking) (oh yeah, and RIP)
There....I finally have that guilt off my chest.
I'm now 32 and stopped smoking August last year (2007) thanks to Allen Carrs great book - "The Easy way to Quit smoking"
From 20 a day for 20 years to 0 in one day!
I'm so proud!
no really, I am.

have a click for giving upI've been to Wanlochhead, and it would have driven me to smoking had I spent more than the time it took to turn round and drive away again...
