this doesn't have to do with smoking, but what country are you in that you say "mate"?
I started smoking when I was 17. I lit up one day just to see what it was like, and I ended up getting hooked. I smoked for about 5 years. But, I quit last year. I've slipped up a few times, but haven't had a cigarette since September.
I was always an athlete, and took pretty good care of my self but started smoking when I was 18; 45 years ago. I was the one telling everyone the dangers of smoking until I met "her," Noreen....
She was the most beautiful girl that I had ever, met up to then. And she was in love with me, only problem, she smoked. We fought about this for so long. Then one day she lit one up in my car. (You know what a car means to an 18 year old-right?) I asked her to put it out and not smoke in my car, simple request. She blew her top, and started calling me names, screaming how I was chauvinistic and that I had no right tell her what to do. Amazed I drove along quietly. Then she asked me if I wanted a cigarette? I said no, are you crazy?
Her response; "Why? Aren't you man enough?" What! Challenge the manhood of an 18 year old boy?
Needless to say I have been smoking since, I found out she quit years ago. Not a good reason to start I know......but I have seen the doctor, I start Chantix this Saturday...wish me luck.
The reason for quitting, besides all the health reasons for me personally? My wife has asked me to, she has allergies. And she said she wants me to be with her for a long time.....that was enough to try, one more time...wish me luck...(By the way, she knows how I started, she said she loves me too, even more than Noreen did.)

i started smoking when i was 13, the reason was to impress a girl lol she smoked and i dunno bein the stupid kid i was i decided to try smoking to maybe get her attention or something, its been almost 7 years of a pack or 2 a day since then and im now a 19 year old with a bad heart and lungs, i have no energy at all and hgonestly 0 stamina, i regret it big time honestly smoking is the dumbest thing on this planet to do and im now in the process of trying to quit (not goin so well)
well...when i entered college...all teen movies flashed up in mah mind..and to add up to my style statement..i started smoking..now its a addiction...i dont repent it but somehow i can feel how it is damaging my body from the core...as because i was a professional swimmer and footballer...i suffer its effect on my lungs...
Wow, it seems to be a running trend in here. A lot of people start at the age of 13. I have my theories about this. First, when you are 13, you just became a teenager and are looking to define your life and what you are going to do with it. So, you are very easily swayed to make the wrong decisions. Also, this is the age where you are no longer in Elementary school and different people come into your life. If you went to Middle School, you probably have met most of these people.
I will say that the biggest attribute to starting smoking would be peer-pressure.
I started when I was 13. Peer-pressure was the cause. I am now 29 and still smoke. Do I want to stop? You bet. It is hard to stop though. Will power has to be stronger than your urges. I have plenty of regrets. My dad had lung cancer and had to have a lung removed. My aunt died of lung cancer. My dad's best friend died of lung cancer. This all happened in a period of 1 year. It was heartbreaking. Now, I have a husband and three beautiful children that I want to see grow up and see their children grow up. I risk that chance everyday because I smoke. It is not the best way to live, and I know that. I am working on the courage of quitting. I really want to, but feel that will power is not enough alone.
