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.

Here comes the science bit...Well speaking as a doctor who has spent the last 10 years specialising in smoking related diseases this may be a good place for me to step in. Basically no-one knows, millions of pounds has been spent on research trying to find out why only 10-15% of smokers will ever develop emphysema but as yet the reason has remained elusive. A number of studies have been carried out to trying to find links to genetic pre-disposition but as yet nothing concrete has been found. With regards to cancer though there are a number of factors to take in to consideration alongside actual smoking that may determine whether you develop a tumour or not. *goes back to lurking*
