Underage Smokers

[[S]ophie_x]

I think this thread has been up before, but since the new law was released, something just never change. England went smoke free on Sunday in public places. But my cousin who's 13 said half of the kids in her year smoke! She said she sees them lighting up after they go out of school premises. I don't know how the early teens can do this in front of people! It's a real problem! But her friend who has a cousin that's eleven has smoked too!

It's getting really horrible, plus these people would probaly die by the time their 29 if they keep going!

Yeah I know...but really at the end of the day it's their life they're throwing away by smoking.

I So Agree...Cause My Friends Started Smoking Around 10. Horrible, I Know But Its Their Life & The Only Thing I Do Is Try & Help When They Are Ready To Get Over It.

Personally I Know I've Smoked Before But It Wasn't All That Cracked Up To Be For Me.

And everyone else's around them. 15% of smoke is inhaler by the smoker whilst the remaining 85% goes into the air to become second hand smoker which is one of the country's largest killers.

Its bad...Very bad! I've seen a 10 year old smoking! It's very bad for you,it gives you cancer.My aunt stopped smoking!
^Like Dylan said,"but really at the end of the day it's their life they're throwing away by smoking."
We were reading a Science book in school one day,and i saw a picture of the heart of someone who smokes,its black! and it looks VERY discusting! I also saw a picture of a lung after you drink alcohol.But that's off topic

My Mum smokes and I don't care. If someone is old enough and silly enough to smoke then let them get on with it.
when It comes to under age smoker than Its there parents responsibility to make them stop. I know when my step brother started to smoke at 15 she made him stop my being trick on him. good on her I think!

Interesting. I'm not a big fan of underage smoking. I've got this loopy philosophy that you should smoke when YOU can AFFORD to pay for your cigs. And I don't mean off your allowance. And if you can pay for your emphysema meds.

That said, I don't really mind people smoking as long as they don't do it in my room or right in front of me. As for kids smoking... I don't know, it's a close third to ten year olds having sex and taking drugs.

True...I didn't think of that...maybe if I said if people can choose to smoke then go ahead, but don't do it near people who don't.

If they want to die of lung cancer, let them. It's not like they don't know the risks.

Yeah agreed...but that doesn't give them the right to smoke around other people...after all, they'll be breathing in the smoke too...

I don't smoke for the simple reason that at my school smoking Is a chavish thing to do!
oh and because it ban KILL you to.
my mum smokes but I won't be following in her footsteps

Luckily my parents don't smoke, and thank God too!


I wouldn't dare try smoking - it's disgusting! Not to mention I can just picture my mom driving me through the roof if she found out!


I have other relatives who smoke though, it's actually one of the reasons why I hated going to my grandma's house when I was little, it would always stink of smoke.
