Both of my parents were smokers, and so are many of my relatives and some of my really close friends. Also, all of my brothers chew snuff. I am having to make a really difficult decision whether or not to smoke. I know it is hazardous to your health, but I may become addicted, with all of these people who I am around who do it.

bonym agony auntAgree totally with Martini, you have to avoid them, I havr to do it as well as I cant physically take the smell of it, it causes migraines and asthma attacks. You need to tell them that it bothers you and ask them just for your benefit if they could smoke away from you. Take care. xXx

Dear Catlova

Don't ever start in anyway, shape, or form. You will become addicted and it is costly to boot! Keep thinking of your health and try your best to stay away from others whilest they are smoking.

Check out some of the many helpful websites about the risks and hazzards of somking, http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/drug_alcohol/tobacco/smoking.html

You are making the right choice to not start!

Don't smoke!! Make the choice NOW!

I speak from experience, I smoke. At the moment I smoke between 20-30 a day. When I first stupidly started smoking I only smoked about 5 a day but it soon increases over time, and when it does you blame it on being "a social smoker" or "I smoke more in the pub" etc, it's all rubbish, it's pure addiction.

This addiction costs me a fortune, it makes my home smell, me smell. I tried giving up and failed, but will try again, but if I had the choice to go back to when I was first handed that cigarette I'd tell them to bog off!!!!!

Be strong, sometimes doing what others are doing just isn't the cool thing to do, they'll envy you in years to come

Avoid the smokers, or tell them the hazardous of smoking and tobacco, and how it effects you. If they don't listen and change, then change yourself - move out, live somewhere else. It's really a lot easier to stay away from tobacco than to quit after using it for awhile.
