Emerald	Don't do it! Popularity is not worth risking your health!! I know you're 13 and you probably feel like you've got your whole life ahead of you and nothing can hurt you, but it can. Smoking takes years off of your life and makes you age faster. Your friends may be popular now, but what's going to happen when they get into their 20's? They will be addicted to cigarettes and looking like they're in their 30's already. Seriously don't do it, there are no benefits to it, only bad. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hayleyluvs2smile	do NOT start smoking be your own person even if it means not being popular, go so something else at lunchtime (you must have some other close friends?) trust me in later life they wont be as popular with ugly teeth and skin. my best friend started smoking at 12/13ish and i joined in just because she did and it seemed like we was being 'hard' and grown-up, she some how convinced me it relieved my stress but then i stopped because i wanted to be healthly and she sooned cleared off with someone else who smoked(got in with the wrong crowd). plus she has really yellow teeth now and it was only 4 years ago!

br@ski	don't smoke I regret even starting! It's not worth it in the long run just to be popular! It's kills 1,000,000's of people and it is so hard to quit! Be strong and say NO! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fitness Guru	Don't ever start smoking, you could become addicted after your first cigarette... and it'll scar you for life. Simple enough. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LUVITX	you should never pretend to be something your not. so if you don't like smoking and your friends do they cannot force you to smoke it has to be 100% your decision. and its good to maybe try it so you know what its like and now youve learnt from that that you dont want ot do it again. they should respect your decision and not mind that you dont want to do it with them. Im sure you can still be just as much there friend with or without putting your health at risk? certainly do not do it because you want to "fit in" its the sillyest reaosn to smoke and you might get your self in trouble. just act normal with them. they will soon realise they are making a big mistake smoking and you`ll soon be the cool one knowing its not cool to smoke that young and some people might only do it to look older and think they are looking cool. just act normal with them as if they never started smoking. Good Luck x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Abi	DO NOT do what other people do for popularity I'm 14 okay and just think when there all old and lonely cause they have lung cancer, bad teeth, bad breath and hair loss you can be all happy and nice (: Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ehh!	dont fit in with that. thats bad. find some other friends who are not a bad influence. seriously, you dont want to get into that stuff. it has bad consequences. you will lead your life into a bad habit of it and could possibly get lung cancer later in life. DONT DO IT. find another group of friends who like the stuff you do and have the same intrests as you and who are not bad influences. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shnazzy	As someone who has smoked for the past 8 years - started when I was young - my advice would be - "It's NOT worth it". Popularity, while nice at the time, is not something that you will even care about when you're 30, 40, or 50. However, getting addicted to smoking could, and probably will affect you at those ages - sickness, death. My advice - if they are truly your friends, they should respect the fact that you've chosen not to litter your lungs with smoke. If they hassle you, as hard as it may be, just remember that you're being the stronger, better person - and there's always new friends out there who won't make you feel bad for not doing something stupid. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

You Know You Love Me	A lot of people will think that you are cool because you can say no and hold your grounds. Like me I would rather be friends with somebody that can stick up for themselves. Be strong. Your little friends are way too young to be smoking. Where do hey get the pack from? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Melissa	Don't smoke. It is so terrible. It may seem cool now but later you will lose thousands of dollars. And if they ask you to do it, just say that you don't feel like it and just don't think that smoking is all that fun or interesting. To just fit in, be yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stick man	Don't start. Just to be popular. In a few more years that popularity will not matter and you will have smoking as an annoying habbit that you will be stuck with, so don't start. Oh yeah, if you work for the IRS, the smokers circle outside the front door is the company rumor mill. Sometimes it is accurate, but other times it got the info wrong and just spread panic. So don't smoke. For help in resisting peer pressure listen to ttb.org. It will help you find what you really want in life regardless of what others think. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CC	don't smoke if you start now you'll get into trouble with your parents, it's bad 4 your health, and very addictive. Who cares if your friends become popular for doing it, they may be popular but they aren't smart if they are smoking. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

teenahbeeah	In my experience, if you have friends who refuse to like you because you won't smoke..aren't friends. All during my high school years, I had tons of friends who smoked. While I was asked a few times to try - I never did. They got the hint and quit asking. In fact, whenever I was around they'd be kind enough to even blow the smoke somewhere that wouldn't make me inhale it. None of these friends of mine ever excluded and always accepted me. If you don't like smoking (and you shouldnt because it does so much damage....but I'm sure you hear that enough from those awful anti-smoking commercials.) then simply don't do it. If they are your friends, they wont change around you. Besides, once you've graduated - popularity won't mean a thing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Azzy	Don't smoke. Do you like money? Clean teeth? Independance? Do you want a long life? well you can kiss them all goodbye if you get hooked. And you will if smoke enough. Smoking ruins lives in more ways than just getting cancer at 50. People can die as soon as 25. And socially, and money-wise it is crushing. Don't smoke. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Answer This!	Dont start, smoking is a disgusting habit, and sure they might be "cool" now, but when they are 17 and loose breath walking up a flight of stairs, they wont be so cool, and when they prematurely age and die of lung cancer at 30, wont be so cool then. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

did_u_no_wrong	Smoking is for retards. It's hugely expensive, doesn't make you feel good and makes you and your breath smell like crap.

haxemon	It's a geeky answer, but really if you have to smoke to impress someone then they're not worth impressing. And really, waaaaaaaaaaaay to many people started smoking for that reason and ended up sick or dead because of it in the long run. There's not a smoker alive who wouldn't quit (or go back and never start) if they could so do your future self a favor and don't start. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
