Thought I might as well have one on smoking as there's one on drinking.
Most of Europe the legal age is 16. I believe it's 20 or 21 in the States. I had my first one when I was 13 or 14, but I never got addicted, although I have a few sometimes with my friends. |

I've been smoking for quite a long time and I know that when it was illegal for me I'd still find ways to buy them. Although this may be a little hypocritical, I still wouldn't like to see people below the age of 18 smoke, especially for since some people start just because thier peers are doing it. I know that if they want to, or are addicted, they are going to find ways to buy them and the law isn't going to stop them. But I think that law does keep a lot of underage kids from smoking, if the legal age was 16, probably more kids around that age would smoke. Even though from what I've seen quite a few do.
