Poll : At what age did you start smoking?

[CoronaBorealis]

How old were you when you started smoking cigarettes/tobacco ?

I started in secondary school.

I feel sad when I see youngsters - some in uniform ,puffing away. Reminds me of how foolish I was.

 

[Electroboy]

same...we were naive then.

16 when I got out of the house and had my first job. John Wayne and Perry Mason smoked, so I did too.l

Started at 14 with unfiltered Camel 63 now and so glad I found vaping

Started around age 7, fully addicted by age 11. Paw until age 14 then pad. Age 30 jumped to 2 pad. I was smoking 2.5 pad and craving 3 or 4 when I miraculously discovered the ecig.

I'd blame it on all the yummy flavors, but I wasn't into "flavors", I was into looking like a "grown up". I got my flavor fixes via real snocones and potato chips, real candy bars and kool-aid. Nowadays, to look like a "grown up" I'd have to be a non-smoking/non-vaing nazi

I started when I was 18, back in London. It came hand in hand with drinking and just turned into a habit. Happens dude.

Started at 14 experimenting (another word for succumbing to peer pressure) with Newports, 555s, Dunhills and Mamak shops $0.20 Lucky Strike cigarettes...

 

[circuitsucka]

started at 11..... so its taken over 20 years to stop smoking and start vaping!!

I started smoking during secondary school days, at age 13. Never regret smoking cause if not I won't even start vaping.

ahhhhhh memories!
im sure theres no more open box today and mama shops are depleting. some mama shops are taken over by 7-11. if you live near a mama shop, support them!

 

[Currynoah]

Erm... support them like shouting: "Ganbatte!!" or buying loose sticks of cigarettes? The 1st one I can do...

 

[sliq]

by buying things from their shop although its a bit pricier than other giants such as NTUC, etc etc.

joker sia you...HAHA

[newcomer]

[sliq]

i could only afford salem (can't remember exact brand, was greenish and menthol) 6 sticks pack. or was it 7 sticks, guys?

 

[Currynoah]

6 sticks. My first pack ever was Newport 10 sticks shared between me and my friend.

6 sticks. My first pack ever was Newport 10 sticks shared between me and my friend.

Dunhill came in 6 stick packets as well. IDK abt you guys, but when I was a smoker I was always tempted to try out new brands when they were launched. When it became too expensive, I switched to rollies.

@sliq, Did you watch the last episode of Breaking Bad?

 

[sliq]
