Ever take "puffs" of a cigarette and never once inhale? I did that at party once as an adult. I was egged on by the smokers. Didja?

The only time I inhaled was when I was 10 in the basement of my grandparents summer place. I stole a cigarette out of my uncle's pack and went down to tbe basement. I read that to inhale you had to swallow the smoke so it would come out of your nostrils. Dumb me. I thught it looked so COOL.

So I swallowed the smoke. OH MY GAWD

It burned like he** and I immediately became nauseated. It was painful and disgusting and I was miserable.

I learned my lesson that day deep in the bowels of basement. I thought anyone who smoked was a crackpot and so futurely if I put a cigarette to my lips for affect I puffed.

    No.  I didn't have to try something that I knew was stupid in the first place (same goes for alcohol).  I saw what it did to others and I had no desire to do that to myself.

    I've asked folks who smoke "why did you start" and all of them said "because I thought it would make me look cool! Now that is most stupid "reason" I ever heard for doing anything. I never did anything for effect to my knowledge. Now what lies beneath to which I have no access I cannot say but consciously I never indulged in crap like that just to be "one of the cool kids". SIGH. If cigarettes/cigars/pipes/tobacco were never invented how many lives would have been saved? I'll ask. Thank you for your reply Shuhak.
