Non Smoking Section

Where I live smoking is considered digusting and rude. It is rude to fill the lungs of those around you with poison when they are just trying to enjoy their lives. Here, there is a lot of peer pressure not to smoke, and smokers are ostracized. It is becoming illegal to smoke in more and more places. In my city you may not smoke in your car if children are in your car, or you get a large fine, and soon my entire city will be smoke free (the only place you can smoke is in your home, nowhere in public, not even outside.)

Never liked it, never started. Lots of reasons, mostly the smell. One kid tried to hardcore pressure me, with physical violence, but I just stopped hanging out with that crowd, the rest of the kids, finally pulled him off, when the realized that my will to resist, was stronger then their will to influence. Teach by example, and explain the pros and cons, focus on the money and the health, and the fact that they spend more on tic tacs then on smokes so girls/boys still want to kiss them, or maybe at one point just accept it, they will do what ever they want in the end anyways. Cheers.

My eldest is only 13 years old going 14, and doesn't express the likelihood of being a smoker someday. I have tried smoking (not pressured by peers) when he's just a toddler, and never smoke when he's around, I never get to like it that much, so I stopped.

Hi, Both me and my husband are non smoker. We both don't like when people are smoking near us,we just can't take the smell of smoking. Somemore,smoking is totally not good for health. For sure, I won;t allow my son to smoke in future. I never think of trying how to smoke.No interest to try it out as it may not do good to my health too.

I am a smoker and my husband is as well. I know that for me the reason that I started smoking was actually peer pressure, it didn't matter at all to me that my parents were smokers. It was more that the people that I hung out with as a young adult were smokers. That said, with two children of my own, I'm really trying to quit smoking and I also make sure that my children know that it isn't a healthy decision and I would be really happy if they didn't make that decision for themselves.
