That's okay DP, that just makes me dumber than you, because I was older when I started.
Also, I wasn't "virtuously waiting" or anything, that is the age I happened to be at when someone finally taught me how to inhale.
Still, Juul, knock it off, since I "get" to say that.
LOL, this board is ahead of my kid, he came in all excited yesterday about "nic salts and Juul."
I handed him my nic salt vape.... He did not seem impressed... Still... he knew all about this "great new trend in vaping."
I can't BELIEVE actually that the dang Juul beats clouds, but teenagers have the attention span of ants, I guess. Wait. That's actually not fair to ants.

I was a...
"Teen."
My first cig was at 11 (I’m still shocked that I was so young, that’s what having friends around the neighborhood that are older than you will do). Regularly started smoking at 14. we used to write notes saying “please allow my daughter to buy me a pack of cigarettes”. That would never fly today!
I started right about the time of my eighteenth birthday.
"Interesting" - si & gracias, señorita.
It’s certainly not the finest news source, but one popular with the younger generation. I can’t believe the photo of one of the stock images, he looks 12!
I started at around the age of 10 when my dad had me light his cigs on the stove while he played cards. By the time I was 14 he was buying me my own pack a day.
In fourth grade a friend of mine and I were stealing ciggies from our parents and smoking them behind the big willow tree in his back yard.By the time I was around twelve/thirteen years old I was pretty much a full time smoker.Back then there was no age limit thing on who could buy cigarettes and at 45 cents a pack I could afford it.
I started at 15 too. For much the same reason. Doesn’t seem all that cool 51 years later.I started at 15 because it was the cool thing to do
At least the last 4 of those years have been spent vaping instead of smoking.
Being a near total fool, I was 19 when I started. I was working in a hospital, there was a nursing school associated. Many of the student nurses smoked, I wanted in that crowd.
This was a long long time back.

We're at Titusville today waiting for the launch…hubs is a space program junkie. We come here for most launchies as it's about a 2.5 hour drive. We have never seen this many cars and people on any previous launches. There are thousands!!! Apparently it's because this is a special event/launch according to hubs. Almost didn't find a place to parl and we arrived 2 hours early.

Oooh... nurses are tricky. They're either totally awesome, or some of the most difficult people to be around, I have found. LOL, I have interacted with many a nurse during my career, and so glad I never got into nursing.
SW-- wants to help you out, so you can do it yourself.
Some nurses-- want a totally immobilized patient so they can "help" by controlling everything.
This is a generality, and to be fair, some SW are MORE annoying than some nurses. I hope I never fell into that category, but you just never know...
I had a dumber reason for starting than that. I was a major athlete in youth, ran cross country, but injured my hip and also biked a lot. I was going to England one summer and I figured, "Can't run, can't bring the bike, why not start smoking as a weight control action, and just come back and quit? I genuinely believed I would (LOLOL) and it didn't hurt that smoking was everywhere I went.
I STILL can't believe my reasoning. Not too proud to state it, though. LOL.

Oooh, it is sometimes very, very, easy to justify our reasons for doing what we want to do, is it not?
Yep.
The rocket stands 230 feet (70 meters) tall and will be the world's most powerful operational rocket, able to lift payloads of up to 119,000 lbs. (57 metric tons) into orbit. For this launch, though, the Falcon Heavy will have a smaller, stranger payload: Musk's car, a red Tesla Roadster. (Musk is also CEO of the electric car company Tesla.) The car is set to end up in an orbit around the sun that's far enough out to reach Mars, had the mission launched at the right time, and Musk said it will carry cameras that should provide "some epic views," if all goes well.

Spectacular launch and re-entry of the two side boosters, which came back down and landed simultaneously right on target. It's so much more relaxing watching these things when there are no people onboard. The dummy along for the ride in the car looked quite relaxed.
Yea...but...but...you gotta' remember that EVERYONE ALWAYS does what they think is BEST...AT THE TIME.
(Even if you decided to do what you knew was the "wrong" thing...it was still what you considered to be the BEST thing to do...at that time.)
Sure...with subsequent added knowledge...1 minute/1 day/1 year/1 decade later...you may then think it was a stupid decision...
But...with only the knowledge that you had at the time...you made the best decision available...
(Realizing this...I've NEVER had any room in my life...for "GUILT"...
)..
