I'm one of those who never has been tempted to smoke. As a teenager, I found it a disgusting habit, it was expensive and it made you smell terrible. But most of all, I was so big into sports, and smoking would ruin everything.
I still don't like the smell of smoke, but I've learned to live with it now. My host family smokes, and after only two weeks, I find it pretty normal and not annoying at all. I guess it's the process of growing up.
I'd rather no one would smoke, but I won't change people's minds about it. My advice will always be to not start smoking or to try to quit. But you can smoke around me now, in moderation.
