Smoking

[loulou]

Today I read a leaflet in the doctors waiting room saying that children are more likely to smoke if they see their parents smoking . Both my parents smoked but I never did and neither did my 3 older brothers.
4 of my friends smoke and they all come from non smoking parents so I was just wondering if you smoke or not and if there's a reason why .

I don't, I never have but both my parents did.  I did try it once, hated it and just couldn't see the point of it.

I tried it once when I was 16 and hated it.  I never tried it again.

My parents are both anti-smoking because they were brought up by heavy smokers and hated the smell. Because of this I was told from an early age it was bad for you, but still exposed to it by my grandparents, and I hated the smell so much I never even tried.

Yes but what about smoking?
Now you know I was going to say that!

I don't smoke and never have. My dad smoked but he died when I was 11 and after that I always lived in a smoke-free household. None of the rest of my family or friends smoke and neither of my children smoke because they haven't had smoke around them when growing up.
