Posted by WB on 20/3/2007, 16:49:41, in reply to "Re: 16 and luvin it!! - My Smoking Profile and News" Thanks for answering my question, and posting about your other recent experiences. It is nice to read them, and it is helpful to see how one deals with all of the issues that come up when you decide to start. With practice it took you about two weeks to get used to and start to enjoy inhaling? I guess it can be different for each person, but it sounds like it was pretty easy for you and you were beginning to enjoy it in a short period of time, which is nice to know. Your posts are pretty amazing in that many of the things you hear about were not a problem for you, which must have been a big relief for you. Having your Mom be understanding and not having to deal with the issue of hiding it, like seems to happen with many others, must have also made things less stresfull. So do not forget Mother's Day this year! LOL! My family is overall non-smoking, so that would be very difficult. Also buying down where you live turning into something that is also not an issue is really an advantage and not common. I live in the Northeast near several big cities, and they can be really strict about that. That would not be a problem since I am over 18, but still it really must be nice not to have to worry about that, because so many other places you might have to and I am sure that would have been a difficult thing for you to have to deal with. Anyway, thanks for your interesting posts. I have learned some things from them. I am glad that things are going really well for you. I hope it continues to be a really enjoyable experience for you. Take care! WB (Will) --Previous Message--

Hi Linda -
: Hi WB -
:
: Yes, I've only smoked
: menthols so far (since I
: was smoking my parents'
: cigs. until today), so I
: can't compare them with
: regulars.
:
: My sister taught me how
: to smoke last December,
: and I was inhaling
: pretty well by the end
: of the second week.
:
: After school today, my
: Mom took me to the local
: grocery store to buy my
: first pack of cigs.
: We've known the checkout
: clerk there for years,
: and after my Mom
: explained the situation,
: the clerk said it
: wouldn't be a problem
: for me to buy cigs.
: there again by myself,
: as long as I said they
: were for "my
: Mom" (wink, wink).
: That's actually pretty
: common down here in
: rural Georgia.
:
: Anyway, I bought a pack
: of Marlboro Menthol
: Lights 100s. My Mom and
: I each had one on the
: car ride home, and I
: liked the taste. Not
: better than the Newport
: Lights, but definitely
: different. I especially
: like the extra couple of
: drags I get on the 100s.
: My Mom liked it, too,
: but I think she's going
: to stick with the
: Newport Lights.
:
: Gotta go to sleep now.
:
: BTW, WB, are you male or
: female?

: Hi Linda,
:
: It sounds like things
: are going very well for
: you, and it is nice to
: see that you are still
: excited, enjoying it,
: and that you have an
: open and honest
: relationship with your
: parents. Did you find
: menthols easier to start
: with? I have heard many
: say this is true? I was
: wondering why you
: started with menthol and
: if you have tried
: regular how they
: compare, or is it that
: you tried newports
: because your parents
: smoked them and it just
: happened you chose them
: because of that? Did it
: take you a while toget
: used to inhaling, or did
: it come easily?
:
: Thanks, and I am glad
: all is going well for
: you!

: A couple of people on
: this
: Board and the "I
: Started Smoking"
: Message Board have asked
: what I smoke, how much I
: smoke, etc., so I'll
: answer that here.
:
: I smoke Newport Lights,
: like my Mom and Dad. I
: smoke 3 cigs. a day
: during the week, and 4
: or 5 a day on the
: weekends, depending upon
: how much time I'm
: spending at home (I
: don't smoke outside the
: house yet).
:
: The great news is that
: even though I was
: supposed to wait until I
: turn 17 in July to get a
: $5 increase in my
: allowance, my parents
: are going to give it to
: me starting tomorrow, so
: that I can buy my own
: cigs.
:
: My Mom is going to take
: me to the store tomorrow
: to buy my first pack.
: I'm SO excited.
:
: I'm probably going to
: get Marlboro Menthol
: Lights 100s - there are
: a couple of girls at
: school that smoke them
: and seem to prefer them.
:
: We'll see how it goes.
