Smoking Age

Smoking Age

Just like the Drinking One, another poll so you can have your say and have descisions on things.
What should the smoking age limit be?
Do you think it should be at any age?
Well in some countries any age is possible for a smoker.

I started experimenting when I was 10. Taking smokes from relatives and even smokeless tobacco. I don't reccomend doing that and if I hear about it I'm turning you in to your parents. lol

Well as most of you know I gave up Months ago now, But I started smokin in Junior School around aged 10.

I didnt start of my own free will though, I was forced to smoke by School Bullies, And it just got to hard to get out of the habbit. The age limit for smoking then was 16 so It didnt stop me and Im sure it will not stop any other kid either they are so easy to get hold of.

So I didnt answer the poll I would not know which to press.

not flamming anyone in particular, but if u look at it logically it might be the dumbest thing u could do. like steve said it costs a bundle, its going to kill u, and u dont even get a high out of it. ur paying for ur death

should be banned completely. but its not those that smoke that will die from it, its people like me who have NEVER even tried one in their lifetime, that will die from the passive smoking... really aggrivates me.

dont get nuffin out of it either, just a big loss of earnings and stinky fingers!!

90% of the people i work with smoke, do various forms of drugs, and drink, i dont get the point. ok i drink often, im very keen on my beer, but im not irresposible with it, but i dont get why people do drugs or cigarettes... BAN IT ALL!

its about the most disgusting thing, it makes you smell horrible, your teeth look like ****, and its a waste of money, i have seen two grand parents die of it, its horrible to see someone suffer for so long, and what it does to your body, see ing cancer spread, and then telling them that they are terminal..

Didn't someone ban alchohol in the 30's (you all know where)? Didn't that lead to organised crime rsing to power? I don't think any ban would work in fact it might increase the level of smoking if some people thought it was illegal after all heroin and cocaine are illegal drugs but are readily available every where.

I honestly don't believe a ban would work because some one some where would supply tobacco illegally.

Warm regards

smoking is like straping a time bomb to yourself and adding a lead vest so u can't move as fast. smoking not only kills u in the long run it makes u a less effective person in anything u do

Think that logic is a bit flawed as if a ban would be implied, yes you would be able to get ahold of it, but it would still decrease as it gets harder and illegal. The majority of people trys to follow the law, they dont want to be cought not following the law, there for it would decrease
