Hi everyone, today i was browsing the straits times website and
come across an article on smoking in singapore, heres the link.

After reading this, it triggers me to think about the youth in
singapore that are smoking. Why do youth smoke?
Let me share my story regarding smoking. I touch my 1st stick of
cig when i was 14, it was out of curiosity and being cool, my
friends were smoking and i ask for a stick. I did not start smoking
after that, i though i can control the influence form others and
not smoke. A few years later, when i was in poly i slowly become a
social smoker, a few of my friends smoke and when we go pub and
club, i often take a stick from them. However, it was before i turn
18, i decided to buy alcohol and cig before being legal for the
last time, that was the time i buy my 1st packet of cig. This 1st
pack kick off a start and turn me into a smoker, at 1st it was
itchy hand and itchy mouth, then it turns to smoking finish the
pack before it turns bad. So this is how i began the youth smoking
journey.
Please share your stories (for smokers) and if non smokers want
to share your views on youth smoking and the disadvantages, you are
welcome as well.
Cheers
