Your first cigaretteTo be honest, inhaling the fumes from some burning leaves isn't the most natural thing in the world.
Tell us about the first time. Where, when, and who were you trying to show off to?
Or, if you've never tried a cigarette, tell us something interesting on the subject of smoking.
Personally, I've never ever smoked a cigarette. Lung damage from pneumonia put me off.

Ciggies and me.It was weird how I gave up having smoked on and off for about 25 years (started with Marlboro Reds, lung-bleeders a friend called them, but moved on to the 'light' variety in the end.) I just stopped enjoying it, just like that. One day I liked it, though I'd never been more than a 'social/pissed' smoker and the next day I thought 'fuck me, that tastes foul.' So I stopped. Just like that. It never bothered me at all, and the last time I tasted one was when I lit one for a friend who was driving. I took a little drag and was reminded of how disgusting I'd eventually found it.
What's worrying me now is that my liking for a few pints seems to be heading the same way. I'm running out of vices to get rid of.
The smell of "yesterday's" cigarettes always reminds me of Christmases when I was a nipper, because Mum and Dad let relatives smoke in the house when they came to family parties. In the morning there was that distinctive smokey smell.
Ah me, those 70s Christmasses when we all wore highly flammable clothing yet never got set alight by stray fag ends.
