Perhaps that should be what age were you when you FIRST started smoking.
I started when I was 24 in hospital although my parents smoked quite heavily. I stopped at 69 on 1st October when God was a boy - just goes to show how bad hospitals could be for you...

I was approx 14, maybe even younger. I came from a non-smoking household, but thought it was the grown up thing to do 🙄
Gosh, I remember when I was about 8 years old looking for good cig butts in my grandfathers ashtrays, I also thought my aunt looked so cool smoking, I couldn't wait to get old enough to buy my own cigarettes.
I was 14 when I started.

Poll agree's most of us started before we even knew what it was

I was 14, thinking it was a clever thing to do to impress an older girl. How young & impressionable I was. Lol.
