Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
all im going to say is that you can definatly have fun without smoking. it makes your teeth yellow your hands stink gives you so many different diseases etc and illnesses. i would strongly sugest that you stop. it is very addictive and you may say that you will stop in a few weeks but it will become a lot harder for you to give up at that point so you should give up now whilst you arent quite as addicted. plus you will find that boys wont be quite as egar 2 kiss you because of the nasty taste and smell. hope i was helpful in some kinda way

Just do not start. Once you do, it is hard to quit. You may want to have fun as a teen, and I will be the first to agree that smoking is enjoyable. It just is not worth it later in life to have health complications because of it. True, you will not addicted from "just one or two," but once you start, it is very easy to have "just one more," and before you know it, you are smoking every day.
In short, smoking is stupid. Don't do it.

As a smoker I am gonna tell you don't even start. It is an extremely hard habit to break. 1-2 weeks will lead to years and you really don't want that. Besides they are very expensive and a waste of money. Trust me...there are other ways of being a rebellious teen! :)

If you're only smoking because you want to have fun, you should probably find another way to do it. And this advice is coming from a person who smoked heavily for about two years, so don't think I'm a hypocrite or anything. Every time you have another cigarette, you run the risk of becoming addicted and you also increase your chances of having health related problems that are known to be related to smoking. Since you say you're having doubts about whether you really want to do it or not, chances are you really don't and you're just doing it to fit in better with your friends. And whoever it was that said to buy nicotine patches after you've only smoked three cigarettes was wrong because that's just begging to get hooked on the patches. They are, indeed, expensive and have probably got a higher nicotine content than you're used to having in your body. Especailly if you don't inhale.

you should probably buy those patches but i heard they were expensive and yea smoking is really bad for your lungs i knew someoen who died from smoking. i dont mean to upset you or nething also but i heard that it was a big turn off on guys if their girlfriend is a smoker

i no you just wanna have fun and it is up to you if you wanna smoke or not but it is also not good for you and you can get addicted to it eaisly so if you wanna stop do it now because if you wait to long you will never stop.But you should talk to your parents about it and see what they think.good luck!

i definately hear ya when you say you want to have fun and not always be good..but there are better ways to be "bad." when i was like 13 i tried my first..and i kept going with it for a couple weeks...it scared me ..i didnt want to be addicted to it..andi honestly..it was dumb so i just stopped. im so happy i stopped when i did because who knows? if i kept going i might not have been able to stop. im NO goody goody.trust me.. you can do other stuff to be "bad" like
-sneak out one night
-stay out late
-go to a party your mom told you not to go to
- lie about where you are..like if your mom doesnt want you over someones house..say your somewhere else..
-have a co ed sleepover
im not saying turn into a badass ..like the ones you see on maury or something...but those are alternatives to smoking and they are a lot funner

Yeah.. I know exactly how you feel. I tried my first cig. when I was like 5-6! Lol.. I used to love to smoke! My grandma even let me but then last year I started to again. I mean my friends didnt peer preasure me.. my friend even took the cigerette out of my mouth couple of times lol. Anyways... when ever I was pissed or stressed out I would take 1. As time went by it got kind of adicting and I was even more stressed out then before. Its okay that you tried it once, I mean EVERYONE has to try to see how it feels like. You need to stop right now because if you keep doing it even just one or 2 a day it still isnt good! None of it is good. Stop now before you get really addicted && its easy to get hooked on it. You just have to think of why its so bad and why you shouldnt be doing it. I hid them from myself and I just kept telling my self that Im not going to. Seriously smoke like 2-4 a week and thats enough if you really really want to. You want to have fun by smoking? Go for it I really cant stop you && nether can anyone else but thats not how you have fun. Thats putting your life in danger and who knows the risk of getting lung cancer. Just try not to get addicted.

Well , we are all mostly young experiencing kids... and you are gonna try smoking.. but sense you havent never done it before smoking one to two isnt gonna make you addicted or give you lung cancer.. both my parents have smoked for years =/ but smoking is not a good thing to do, i mean after a couple of days you will get over it. and you want crave cigarettes any more - Hope i Helped Much Love Katherine

well i think that you should really stop and after you stop i hink you should tell your gaurdian and maybey they can take you to a doctors office to see if you have done anything bad to your body by smoking.and maybey you can ask your friends if they can just watch out for you like if you want to smoke than have them stop you...... GOOD LUCK!!!!

honestly you really shouldn*t it*s hard to smoke cigarettes for a couple weeks and stop. My opionion on cigarette smoking, i think it*s dumb. I mean when you do drugs you @least get high but cigarettes are just ew. So i mean i suggest you don*t smoke anymore, bc well u will get addicted, put your mind on sumthing else, and i understand the teenage wanna be bad thing, i*m the same way i just don*t smoke cigarettes. well good luck hope i helped altho i prolly didn*t. xoxo, chelsea

I'm sorry, but there's no way to smoke without increasing your chances of lung cancer, heart disease, and other long-term bad effects.
As for addiction...nicotine is very addictive, and cigarette companies carefully adjust the nicotine content of their cigarettes to make them as addictive as possible. WILL you be addicted? Probably; you may already be feeling some of that effect (it sounds as if you are). But people vary in how vulnerable they are to addiction.
That said, you know that there are a lot of good reasons not to smoke. And smoking ISN'T the only way to have fun as a teen, right? It's just one of the most dangerous ways.
Please believe me, there are incredibly fun things you can do without increasing your chances of heart disease and cancer. If you've ever seen cancer, you'd know: it's something that ANYONE would do ANYTHING to avoid.
So this isn't a matter of being good or bad. It's a matter of having enough self-respect not to do something really harmful to yourself.
Self-respect is probably the most important thing you can learn as a teen. You're the only one of you that there will ever be. This is the only life that you will ever get. There's no reset button, no "GAME OVER - PLAY AGAIN?" option. Take care of yourself while you can.
Sure, have fun.
But be safe.

Uhm? That's crap that your friends encourage such a thing. I'm disgusted. Moving on, if you think you can "smoke for like a couple more weeks then stop", you're saddly mistaken. You can't just "stop" like that. Qutting smoking is a struggle. Smoking is an addiction that can NOT be broken over night. It takes people months and even years and years to recover from it. I suggest you use your head about this and put your WELL BEING before your need to "have fun"....

Be willing to accept the consequences of your moronic actions if you are going to go through with them. Honestly, I don't see why people would want to smoke cigarettes, they are terribly plain, they don't really give a high, you can get lung cancer, it can stain your teeth and fingers if you do it enough, it makes everything around you - including you - smell terrible. And in the end you will end up spending your entire minimum wage paycheck on cigarettes - every week - for the rest of your life.
