Guys and Girls, These is happenning in Singapore. i believe it does happen to many Country as well.These Teenage is seriously too Young, Coming to think again, I think this is not Right.
Issit because the Society have lead them this Way or Have their Parents not teaching them? or issit the School should have teach them Better in Smoking tobacco Harm?

I remember when i was 13, My School Show us how harmful are Tobacco and show us all the Damage parts of Human from Smoking Tobacco. but i still pick up smoking when i was 15 and finally i quit at the age of 29 by using the Vaporizer. I did thought it was cool but it was not. now i feel vaping is better but i think we Vapers didn't/ shouldn't lead non-Smokers to vaping especially when they are not even 18 Years old.

smoking was cool back in the adolescence. I picked up when I was 15 and now at 24 I no longer think its cool. I feel stupid for smoking actually but I do like the habit; I think many of us do like the habit of smoking. So when I picked up the Ego I took the biggest turn of my life so far, that is to quit harming myself. Anyway, it's been a month since I had an analog. I just took a few puffs from an analog just now and my god, remember that how cigarettes tasted at first time. Good god I wonder why did I ever picked up smoking but as I said, smoking was cool but now it is stupid...Good lord I won't ever puff on analogs again, it just tasted sooooo bad, like I'm smoking burning socks

I don't think any of us think smoking is cool. I started at 12 close to 30 years ago. It's just damn near impossible to kick the habbit. E-cigs make it easy to find a safer alternative.

Yeah I am royally hooked too. Looking back to the day I started smoking, I just wish I had said no. Life would have been so much simpler. Less to think about, no dilemmas, health troubles etc.

Each person is different but apart from the classic smoking problems, mine was compounded by an additional medical issue.

I am so amazingly thankful I dropped analogs! What better Christmas gift??!!??!!??

I didn't start because I thought it was cool. Technically my addiction with nicotine started when I was 10 and started chewing. I picked up smoking in the Army since smokers got breaks, and continued to switch hit between chew and smokes to fit the situation. If I couldn't smoke I chewed and vice versa. Wish I never started, but I'm happy now that I found vaping and put both habits down for good ^_^

I never thought it was cool... I was strictly against smoking up until I joined the army. That's when I noticed how smoking was a way to sort of escape from all the BS of everything. in the smoke circle rank didn't matter. nothing did, just some people standing around smoking... and then from there it just stuck even when i got out...

I tried smoking around 13 (a cigarette here and there from a relative or a friends parent's stash) and started buying my own (older coworkers) when I was 16. I started b/c I was told from my parents how bad it was to smoke....and how bad people smoke and I was the rebel child and raised in a very religious household where anything that was good was a sin to do. So if smoking was soooo bad I had to try it. It had to be good eh? Really stupid, I know.

I remember when we were very young, 5-10 yrs. old (4 siblings), Mom & Dad flicking their burning cig butts out in the yard and we would run out and get them and finish smoking them. Cool? NOT! By 13 yrs. old I was stealing smokes anywhere I could find them, don't ever leave a pack/carton in sight in an unlocked car, fair game for kids! Dumbest thing I ever did, start smoking, that monkey on your back never leaves! Thanks for this new industry of nicotine replacement, it's amazing. Now I would have to say, don't leave a PV in an unlocked car! (Live in a small town in WY, some people still don't lock their cars, some even still leave the keys in the ignition!)
