Not old enough for this, but growing up I had a friend with parents who were heavy smokers. It made a weird relationship in my brain that cigarette smell is related to friends, so for years everytime I smelled a cigarette it would give me some weird nostalgia.

Eventually I tried 1 cigarette and it made me sick lol

My message to people thinking about trying smoking:

If you try a cigarette and you don't like it, it's a shitty experience. If you try a cigarette and do like it, that's much worse.

There's no upside.

And, for friends who currently smoke, the best line of attack I've found is: "You really like giving awful companies like Philip Morris your hard-earned money?"

My message to people thinking about trying smoking:

my message:

literally why, it's a waste of time, money, and it's socially unacceptable, literally do anything other than smoke.

Smoking is something you literally have to develop a taste for. I've never heard of anybody who got hooked off of one cigarette.
