No. I never have, and I never will. This is something I've promised to myself since I was a little kid. I grew up between my father's Biology books which talked about how smoking kills. I try to keep my friends away from smoking or drive them away from it (and I've sometimes become annoying in the process). Generally, I'm in the DO NOT SMOKE!! campaign and make it clear to everyone. (I say, I make it clear. I don't sit on their throats until they throw their cigarettes away. I'm not THAT annoying.) I sometimes get to be between smokers, but smoke soon makes my eyes red and teary and I then try to excuse myself and leave the smoking area.

True, I'm not much of a rebel teenager. I've never even skipped a class in my life ("extended" school council meetings don't count laugh ) But I'm just the way I like me to be. Smoking could quickly take me between the "trendy" people of my school, but I do have friends one way or another, and I'm happy I don't smoke.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.
