I have never smoked and never tried to smoke in my life. Apart from these those warnings: SMOKING IS HARMFUL has also affected me. My grandmother told me when I was about 10-11 years that smoking means wasting lungs and other organs of bodies and also wastes money. So what is the benefit ??? I don't know because I have never tried. My dad too never smoked and I am happy that I am not addicted to smoking

No I've never smoked. Despite the fact that I know quite a few smokers, and sometimes I'll be around them when they smoke. I must admit that under these circumstances, it is tempting at times, but I know that if I do start, I might have difficult time quitting. And I definitely do not want to smoke when I get pregnant and have kids. It's not something I want for them. So I think it's probably best to not start smoking. I hope you are able to quit. I wish you luck!

Hello Blood. I do smoke and I am at least twice your age. I started when I was young too. I hate this habit I wish I could quit. If you can quit NOW while your still young. If you wait too long you will hate yourself for not quitting. Believe me with the health problems it can and will cause you, your heart will begin to be harder to walk and to do anything. My advise is to quit today if you can!

Hi BloodShyne! I understand what are the bad effects of being a smoker. And most people say that you will die young if you do it. But these does not affect me at all. I am still smoking for 6 years now. I started when I was 18. You started so young. Why do you want to quit by the way? On my end, I'm not thinking about it. But if that bothers you, then you better end it, as soon as you can

When I was 22 years old I did smoke for about 2 months but got a bad head cold and the doctor told me I need to quit smoking as I had only been smoking for 2 months and really was not enjoying it very much I just quit. I am thankful today that I did then as there are lots of people who seem to be having a hard time to quit and they really should be quiting.
