very high, since your only 14. you will probablyy be a marlboro customer for the next ten yearss :( but thats what the industry tries to do. its bad.
anyways you should deffinantly try to stop. i dont smoke cigarettes, but some of my friends do them like once a month. thats bad too because you could still get hooked, but at least theyre keeping it under control.
dont worry about having a drink every once in a while, as long as you dont feel reliant. theres statistics saying that if you drink 1 beer/shot, once a month, you are likely to become an alcoholic within 5 years. i've been drinking about twice a month for three years now, and its not getting bad, and im no where near becoming an alcoholic. i dont even get drunk, just tipsy, and its always been that wayy. but maybe thats just me haha. but you can get some diseases from alcohol, like alcohol poisoning (drinking too much & busting up your liverrrr) and alocoholism (being addicted) and more.
anyways you should deffinantly try to stop smoking cigarettes. even if you dont get cancer when your older theres still a tonnnn of other gross things that can happen to your face/skin and mouth (teeth become yellow, gums rot, cativies, bad tongue, etc).
good luck :)

Not everyone who smokes dies of cancer. However, some statics say as many as 75% of all smokers do die of cancer or other smoking related illness. 25% of all smokers die before at age of 65.
Those odds are pretty grim.
If you live in Canada there is this wonderful thing call the Smokers Helpline. It's a place you can call to get some facts and different approaches to quiting, if you are finding it tough to do alone: 1 877 513-5333.
I am not sure if the States has a similar line, but I am sure there are other places, maybe even around school, where you can get some facts and help in quitting.
Best o luck.
