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 have to agree with dasturbd. It is very naive to brand someone stupid for smoking - as far as I can see, dasturbd, who I believe smokes, is just as intelligent as any one of you, if not more. A lot of very intelligent people do smoke, but it's wrong to call them stupid or insecure just because they do, until you actually meet them in person.
You may soon have friends that smoke (when you go over the age limit), if you haven't already, and although you may not want them to smoke around you, they'll still be very nice people who you wouldn't dare to call stupid or insecure losers. It's wrong to go straight from the transition of smoking=stupid |
