Good reason (NOT!) There was no pressure from him, I just did it. Over 10 years later, I finally gave up... Cigarette breaks at work were often a good way to clarify one's thoughts. I miss that. I don't miss standing in a freezing car park though... I started at 19 because my boyfriend smoked. Good reason (NOT!) There was no pressure from him, I just did it.

But I digress... Yes splee, i think ther eis an age that once you pass, you don;t get the urge anymore. I also have never been pushed to smoke. And once you pass 16 or 17, everyone starts bitching about it anyway, so its less reason to do it. I had a freinds who started when he was 21. I wanted to slap him.

Greavsie: At nearly a fiver a pack the savings will be huge. I just pour all the money I would have spent, had I ever smoked, into frivolous and pointless crap (DVD's, junk food, gadgets, games, etc). Therefore I'm just as broke as a smoker, if not more. :) NiC: Good point, well put.

The results are surprising. That said I've never smoked either.
