Spinning off from the other thread.
I never smoked but was enticed in my younger years. Not any peer pressure but some other kids were pretend smoking, ie, not inhaling. I liked sucking on it and blowing the smoke. I wondered if I looked cool but never went beyond sucking in a mouthful of smoke and blowing it out.
I once found a cigar and gave that a few puffs. Made me sick.
When I was 19, I went out with some co-workers who all smoked. I told them how the smoke always made me cough. They said you had to start with small, short drags and breathe it in. I did so and my lungs felt so stuffed up I vowed never to do that again. And I haven't.
As a side note: I know 10 smokers I worked with who died from lung cancer or throat cancer.
