Amen to that. But I think on my 18th birthday, im going to buy a pack, just for the hell of it. Then give it away to someone.
And why? Would you try some crack if someone gave it to you? Do you think you actually look cool with a nicotine stick in your mouth?
And look at that Todd missed the point.

I don't smoke, and I've never tried pot ( ) even though my mom was heavy into it. I don't have a problem with others smoking pot (I've been offered, actually begged on a few occasions), but I'm not gonna do it.
I tried smoking when I was like 10, but gave up. I can't stand how people smell after smoking! A girl that smokes is a HUGE turn off for me, even if she's the hottest chick around. Now I'm not sayin I wouldn't hit it, but NO WAY I could live with her.
Definatly NO smoking in this dudes cars.

i stopped cold turkey back in 95 or 96(?) after smoking for about 6-7 years.
its funny. seems like hardly anyone smokes around here anymore. everyone knows its BAD for you, its expensive, and its very  in LA w/ all the health wannabees. i do still the young 20 somethings doing it the most though. the ones that go to clubs and bars a lot.
as much as i enjoyed the feeling when i did it, i cant believe that i voluntarily put something so awful into my mouth. i felt a HUGE difference in my lungs and endurance when i finally did quit. i remember when i first realized when i should quit. i started to learn how snowboard and every time i fell down i would gasp for air while struggling to get back up. i wasnt used to rigorous activity (for many years) and did nt know that it was realllly affecting me.  i cant believe there are people, like my wife, who have NEVER even tried it. it seems like everyone has tried a puff at least once in their lives. but not everyone i guess...
both of my grandfathers died from lung cancer. both were smokers, one a HEAVY chain smoker.  its not a controversial argument. everyone, except big tobacco, agrees that it WILL kill you. its just up to you if you really want to do it.

If you want to buy something to prove you can becuase you're 18... buy something useful... like porn.
That said... I smoke only on occasion, as I do like the taste, but not into them.

Just an FYI:
I hear the nicotine supplements (patch, gum, etc) help the quit rate by 50%. They're expensive, but if you're ready and willing, it sure sounds like they can help.
And no, you probably can't get a buzz from them. They're supposed to be set below the buzz threshold.

I smoked from the time I was 14 till I was 29. Smoking is very addictive. It's unbelievable how hard it is to quit.
There are people out there who hate cigarette smoke. I've been into a few fights because people tried to put my cigarette out.

I smoke cigars a few times a year, and the ganj whenever I can but never got into cigarette smoking, tried it a few times but wasn't all that interested.
