>>7824979Used to smoke some weed when I was a teenager.
Friends also smoked normal cigarettes, so on day I asked for one to try it out.
Shit was absolutely retarded and pointless.
Now I don't smoke at all anymore, but if I would, it definitely wouldn't be cigarettes.
I can guarantee you OP, most people start either to have some kind of distraction from their constant anxiety, anger, boredom or whatever else or as you said as a way to fit in and be one of the cool kids.
So congratulations to those, you traded a few years of being the cool dude with the cig for horrible health effects and crippling nicotine addiction.
