Adults don't start smoking. Children start smoking and carry on into adulthood. I know no adult who started smoking as an adult. We all started as teenagers.

There is always one biggrin and now you know one lol
During my teens i tried it and thought yuck! Couldnt figure out why people smoked!
I was about 22 when i started having the odd fag off my mates when i was working afternoons and took the car into town. Couldnt drink so took the odd one. Woke up in the morning and my fingers stank of smoke!!
Did that for almost 2 years! Maybe having 4 or 5 on the saturday nights that i had the car. Then on that fatefull night shift when i got really bored about 3 in the morning, i thought, I know i'll have a fag! (packet left in my jacket pocket from a saturday night).
Smoked ever since sad
Packed in for 6 months many years back. Since then its been the odd couple of days, up to a few weeks!
Any more late starters? smile

Jess Darling,
That is really interesting. Truly you are the first that I have heard of as starting as an adult.. But you did try it as a teenager. So maybe you can still be classed as a teen-starter. I don't know. But the benefits of giving up are immense. I would so like to find a way of stopping people starting. Stopping people starting.. Ok, my words might not be so good but you get my meaning, yes?

hi alex...since you mentioned it the other night, i thought i'd give you my feedback
1. What age did you start smoking?
i was about 14
2. Why did you start smoking?
my mates all did, and i thought i looked cool infront of the girls
3. What are the main reasons you smoke now? (e.g. additive, sociable, habitual?)
i don't smoke anymore
4. If you have quit smoking successfully, what worked for you?
will power and determination
5. If you have tried to quit smoking and was unsuccessful, what factors inhbited your success?
i succeeded, although i did go on to smoke cigars for a couple of years before giving them up too
6. If you are still smoking, and would like to quit, what do you think would help you stop?
i do'n smoke anymore, although had i still been smoking a few years ago, watching my mum suffer as she wasted away and died would have been the incentive i needed. i still try to make Dee and my sons realise i dont want to see any of them go the same way but so far to deaf ears.

It's funny this has appeared on Page 1 again as I've just got off the phone to my nurse. I've made an appointment to see about getting some Zyban on script to help me give up for good. The reason for it is I've decided to do a charity trek in Morocco next October to raise money for the hospice I work for and I can't be trekking up 1600m stopping for a fag every now and then. confused
