Smoking
I am just 13 and I have this urge to smoke. I have never smoked before and I know it is bad for you. I have never did any kind of drugss including weed or coke. My mom would kill me if I did smoke. So I ask my sister how old she was when she started smoking and she said about 13 or 14. And that made it even worse for me! Even people at school smoke! What can I do? I have even thought of stealing them from my mom! I'm a good kid! HELP!

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
STAY AWAY FROM SMOKES. Also, remind your family, friends, and classmates to stay away from them b/c if you do smoke, you'll wake up every morning not knowing whether you're going to die or not. Try putting up flyers around your school reminding everyone not too. If that's too embarrassing, I know this next suggestion will sound weird, but create an anonymous account and send e-mails to everyone you know in school saying to stay away from it, and that way you won't be so pressured. What my mom did as a kid when she saw my grandfather's cigarettes was flush them down the toilet or throw them away or something, so he couldn't smoke anymore.

Smoking = Totally Gross.
It smells. It turns your teeth yellow. It turns your fingers yellow. It'll make it hard to breathe. Your lungs will get gross. It increases your risk of cancer. Its expensive. It might get to the point where it is a burden to your daily life. Its illegal. Your parents or POLICE could find out. You look like a flipping moron doing it.
Remember these reasons. That should make it so you don't want to smoke. If you still want to smoke, go ahead, ruin your life, babe.

Just stay away from the people who smoke and you may not have the urge to do it. If others jumped off a cliff, would you join them? This kind of situation is called peer pressure. The only piece of advice I can give is just stay away from it. If everyone in the school smokes, I would request a transfer. Hope i helped!

I think you are probably having the urge because you want to be considered cool in your school. You said that everyone else is doing it, so that must be why you want to.
Starting young is the worst thing that you can do to yourself. It drags you out of your childhood, and you feel the need to grow up faster. I don't know why your sister started smoking so young, but it's a stupid decision to make. She did it to be cool. It's not like she had smoked before and just felt like she needed one, she did it to feel cool to everyone. It's the same thing for you. You've never even tried smoking, so how could you have the urge as if you need it badly? The only other reason is to feel like you're fitting in. You have to be the family member that sets the example. You have to keep yourself from wanting to smoke. Think about how precious your reputation is right now. You're 13 and a great kid as you said. You really don't want to ruin that. You really don't, I promise. And you'll see what changes will take place in your life quickly if you smoke.

Don't do it. It's discusting, unhealthy, and a VERY bad habit to start. Just try to stay away from them. Think of all the negative effects from them. Don't break down to peer pressure.

I'll tell you right now..it's disgusting..but if you have self control then try it one day and you'll see how bad it is. But don't do it again or you'll get addicted to the nicotene! It really tastes nasty..and if you know it's bad, don't even waste your time with it! Good luck! ♥ caitie

Smoking is bad for you. You should never smoke even if your sister did it at your age. Smoking can really hurt your lungs and give effects when you dont even realize it. Dont smoke even if your friends do it or "everyone is doing". Well then they're making a huge mistake! Smoking can really hurt your lungs and that can lead to breathing problems to cancer. I'm not saying that could happen to you but it is a possibility.
If your a good kid like you say you are then don't ever smoke.
There are reasons why the schools have drug free weeks and even on Tv says not to.They dont want you do smoke or do drugs or drink and drive.
Basically ... Once you start then you can never stop and after while you'll want to stop but you can't. Stay away from drugs. Think what God would want you to do.
I hope i helped! ~JoyToTheWorld

hang out with friends that don't and who will encourage you not to when you want to start. that way, you're not the only one NOT doing it.

welll.. i say dont start because once you do you could get addicted and you know how hard it is to stop.. plus they like arent fun haha ive tried some before and alls they do is give you a buzz and i dont think thats worth it. maybe you have a urge because your mom and your sister does and you wonder what its like? personally, i think they taste gross but thats just my opinion.. does your group of friends smoke? because if they do that could take a toll on your decision incuraging you to try it and if you dont want to stat i say fall into a new group of friends.. hope i helped if you need some more leave some in my inbox! ♥
