Opinion of Teen Smokers

[Demi]

I think they just want to look cool in front of their friends...

[Catchy]

Don't have an opinion on them, their life and their choice. Which they will regret without doubt... I've smoked since I was 16, my mum used to buy them for me. No she's not a bad mother she just knew if she didn't I still would've found a way to buy them anyway and at 16 you're old enough to make your own choices and take responsibility.

Idrc its their life and their choice. I don't mind the smell of smoke so it's never bothered me too

I see why most teens start it (peer pressure, thinking it's cool etc) but seeing 11-12 year olds smoking it's a shame for them. Will make most of them hooked for the rest of their lives.

Teen smokers don't bother me, I started smoking at 17 so it would be hypocritical.

i do get annoyed when little kids act cool because they're smoking and go out of their way to blow smoke at you. Even though I smoke, it pisses me off. When I smoke I go out my way to keep the smoke away from others, it's just common decency

I think most probably do it to look cool/peer pressure. My mum started when she was like 11. Such an expensive and gross habit though. My and my friend were approached by what looked like 10 year olds asking us to buy them cigarettes. We were just like UMM NO.

quite a lot of people in my year smoke which is a bit silly but they started like year 7 so idk they don't really bother me, i feel bad for them though since the people in my year like 7/10 of them want to quit but they cant
it annoys me though how its obviously made people think differently of teens since whenever i go to town, people will come up to me and ask me for a lighter which is a bit silly since i'm only 14 ;l

I know someone who is 14, she smokes. Her mum knows, and didn't use to, but now buys her cigarettes. Mainly because the girl says she either will smoke or self harm. - (One or other so that stress can be controlled).

I don't agree with it. No where near. I think it's disgusting that parents buying 14 year olds cigarettes. makes me angry.

Actually annoys me when someone comes to ask me for a lighter too. Since WHEN do i look like I want to smoke, let alone actually doing it.

I was offered 5 times in Westfield Stratford City shopping centre if I wanted to buy E-Lite Cigarettes for JUST £99!… After continually saying ' I don't smoke, and won't smoke' they didn't quite get the message. So ended up in the good ol' *REMOVED* off. haha.

But still, back to topic; it's disgusting. sorry; not sorry.

yeah I hate it when people ask me for a lighter ;llllllllllll
there's a girl in my year (so 14yrs old) who smokes but her parents dont care
she went past me the other day afterschool when i was walking but she was in her parents car having a cig out the window ??? surely her parents would try stop her smoking or something rather than letting her just smoke out the window
a lot of people in my school smoke though, in my school there's a place called "the smokers corner" in the playground and people go there because teachers can't see as there as so many trees and they just smoke there
