Legal Smoking Age Options

[tkproduce]

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.

TY tk and yes I do smoke, I have cut down significantly over the last few years but still do regardless.

Its not like I advocate smoking especially for those underage, but it's an individulas right to choose and who the hell is anybody to tell someone NOT to make their own choices or belittle them when they do!

I can't turn back the hands of time and go back to before starting, but I do clue my children in as to the negative effects of smoking and would like for them to never start. Just because I smoke does not mean I want them to and that comes from personal experience.

I grew up in a family full of smokers and I absolutely hated it and said that I would NEVER start that "nasty habit"...yet look who did. It's easy to sit there and say...Oh I will NEVER, but I'll be curious just how many of you youngins change your tune by the time you hit my age.

Never say Never, because you don't have a clue what the future has instore for you.

I hope many of you don't ever start, but I bet at least 50% of those who are ridiculing smoking now will smoke eventually (if they dont already and are just afraid of being bashed in this forum)

It seems to be more about popularity here than honesty
