my mom and my 2 older sisters talked me into trying cigarettes almost a year ago. i had secretely wanted 2 try smoking but didn't have the nurve 2 try even tho i new my mom wood probablly let me. i was just waiting 4 sumone 2 say something. my mom and both sisters smoke a lot so i new it wood come up sooner or later.

anyways 1 day we were like going sumwhere in the car and my mom and sisters are all smoking when my mom handed me her pak uf cigarettes and a lighter and said "here, honey, you want tu try 1?" i'm like, sure, i guess so. so i pulled 1 out and lit it and than they all started laughing cuz i didn't no what i wuz doing. then my 14 year old sister sayz, don't worry, i'll teach u. she showed me how 2 inhale. i tried it but it tasted awful and made me feel sick 2 my stomach after a few drags. they told me that was normal and that you just feel sick the first time and that it wood take some practice b4 they start tasting good. when we got home, my mom gave me a full pak uf marolboro 100's and a lighter and told me i could smoke. they were rite. the next cigarette didn't make me feel sick like b4 when i inhaled, but it still didn't taste good but it was kinda fun and it made me feel older so i started smoking 2. i wood sit in front uf the mirror and practice. that first pak lasted about 3 days. after that my mom gave me a whole carton uf marlboro 100's. within a couple weeks they actually started tasting good and i mean really good! from then on i totally enjoyed smomking and new it was something i really wanted to do.

im 13 now and can't imagine not smoking. its a little tuff geting thru school tho. my sis showed me how 2 hide em in your tampons so you can sneak a smoke between classes when you get a chance. my last period is the hardest cuz all i can think about is getting out 2 my boyfriends car and lighting up. and yeah, if i had had any idea of how good they tasted i wood have started a lot sooner. all of my friends smoke now 2 and i no im really lucky that my moms so supportive cuz a lot uf my friends had 2 fight it out with there parents and have a lot of restrictions on there smoking. like one of my friends mom only lets her smoke 1 pak a day and she can't smoke in public. another of my friends can only smoke in her bedroom and outside the house. another friend is not allowed to smoke inside her house at all. My mom lets me smoke as much as i want and wherever i want. and me and my mom smoke together all the time. the only thing she asks is that i help empty the ash trays and keep my cigarettes out of the reach of my baby brother and that i get permission b4 i light up in somebody elses car or house.
