Smoking

[leah]

I guess it depends on the individual, I smoked for a few months when I was about 13/14 and I just stopped without feeling addiction at all, however some people will do it for the same amount of time and say they're addicted. That might just be them making an excuse to continue doing it, i don't know.

I've smoked quite a few times, mainly when I was about 14 but I did a few times recently too and I've not been addicted or had cravings or anything. I think it definitely depends on the individual, some people have more addictive natures than others like they get addicted to things easily.

i smoke whenever ive been drinking and occasionally sobber but i cant say i'd ever see how i could get addicted to it

I had a drag once when I was in year seven.
I started to have full ones then I just stopped.
I never really got "addicted".

it depends if you're inhaling properly or not

if you need one within 20 minutes after you're up i'd say you're addicted....
i couldn't ever think of having one soon as i'm up but pretty much all my mates that smoke do. i started when i was 11 and could easily start and stop when i wanted, months at a time.
smoked everyday from age 13-16 but could easily go one day without getting grumpy, stopped before my 17th n found it easy so its not like you're gonna get addicted after a week...

ive tried so many times, never got addicted lol. :S i was inhaling properly

Youll have to smoke quite a few to get addicted and start doing it daily.

I only ever smoke after i've been drinking and even then its only one or two. Never will be addicted.

Pretty much all my mates who smoke started off by only smoking when they were drunk "because it's very social" apparently.

Once you've had one cigarette, I don't see what would ever make you have another apart from cravings?

Because smoking is cool

Because smoking is cool

Yes exactly - that's how it is perceived by some people. Doing it to be 'cool' means that eventually you will be addicted.
