Neither one finished the whole thing before they were green in the face and gagging Ah Delbert, you bring back fond memories of the very first cigarette I inhaled deeply. Unfortunately, I persisted until I got the hang of it. Still Smokin! Still in denial, but moving closer to thinking about quitting. You did those girls a huge favour. purething

Del, it's good that your stop-smoking-before-you-start strategy worked. Now Michael will be trying it with his children, though!! Personally, I think you just got lucky. I remember getting really sick and watching the room spin the first time I smoked, but I was eager to do it again because I liked the nicotine rush. I have heard that offering a significant bribe to a child if he or she turns 21 without ever having smoked works pretty often. That way the child has something tangible to think about in making a choice on that inevitable occasion when someone offers a cigarette, and helps the teenager resist peer pressure, I would think. As purething has posted, sometimes it only takes one time, and the novice smoker is hooked.
