You can stop... :rolleyes:

do it, smokings cool, the videos are sort of true but they over exagerate

whatever you do, don't smoke. don't give in to peer pressure because it will make you look like a wimp :)
all the videos they show you at school and in health lessons are all true.
smoking can stop you growing and can make you go unhealthily skinny because it will make you not want to eat.
and also it will age your looks and make you look like a piece of mouldy wood.
teeth are supposed to be white, not yellow.

smoking is cool?
whoever told you that is very wrong.

smoking doesnt make you cool, nor look cool. your just killing yourself faster.

Smoking is horrible and I wouldn't smoke personally.

This is your decision- whether you want to follow the crowd/ or stick to your mind in the first place, not to smoke.

Basically, I'm repeating most of the above, you probably just want to smoke to follow them, but you need to follow what you think is best for yourself.

Just remember the effects that smoking has on your body AND your health.

i used to hang around in soo called "gangs"

they smoked but i never did, wanna know why?

Becasue they knew that i can choose my own life, therefor, there my real mates to not forcing me to smoke ;p,

What i'm saying is, are these people are your real friends?,

Decide..

They all smoke, boys and girls, and it seems.. cool in a way. Im 13, and I always told myself I would never smoke but since I been there it looks good. I saw a video in science a week ago about what happenes if you smoke (real life, not cartoon) and that was absoloutley disgusting. We might be moving to Durham, which means I will see them every day (They are cousins, theres like 15 of them). Are these videos true or trying to put you off smoking? If we move there, Im going to be the only 13yr old who doesnt smoke and it will seem wierd (They smoke at a young age, unlike where I live now :p)

So, any advice? What can I do? Who can I talk to about it?

Your help is sincerely appericiated!!

Take those videos in science seriously. You may think it looks cool now but wait till your 40 or 50 when it starts to hit you hard. Smoking only a few months causes problems, yet alone smoking for years.

Theres absoletly nothing wrong with you not smoking when everyone else does. Do keep in mind that breathing in the smoke they smoke out, is called passive smoking and is said to be just as bad, if not worse than smoking yourself. This means you need to be away from them when they smoke as much as possible :).

It may seem cool but it is really stupid to do, trust me, i have been smoking for about 1 and half years and i regret starting, even if all of your friends smoke; DONT!

If you want to ask anything just message me as i really regret smoking and your only young and i just hope you dont!

Who the hell told you that? Smoking is seriously uncool.

Don't do it & don't give in to peer pressure.
