[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean I get it bc we all know smoking is terrible. But…when did every poster here have their first cigarette? Bc I don’t know a soul who didn’t try it by 17.

Everyone is always handwringing about how much teens nowadays are unsocial introverted screen zombies with no friends or romantic interests, but then when their teens do totally normal teen things that we all did in the 90s while socializing, they act like their kids are ruined. If your teens are out and living life, this is going to happen. Keep having conversations, or I guess lock your kids up and they can stare at their phones where they are “safe” ?[/quote]

To your first paragraph… seriously? Never is when I first smoked, and same for my DH, all my siblings, and my good friends from HS. Where/when did you grow up?

But that said, I’d have a conversation after he’s home. You don’t know if it was a one time thing, if he’s already hooked, etc. Start with just talking to him. [/quote]

Really? Not that PP but this was also true for me and I was a "goody 2 shoes" kid. Graduated in suburban CT in the late 90s. I had tried my first cigarette my senior year in highschool and then socially smoked verrry occasionally in college and my early 20s until the law went unto effect outlawing smoking indoors in bars/restaurants.

So much more common back then. My roommate in college (small liberal arts college) smoked a lot and it was a common "punishment" for kids in college caught drinking to in their dorm room to have to walk around sweeping the piles of cigarette butts at all the dorm entrances. [/quote]

I was a social smoker in college.  I quit at around 24.    Back then girls were bigger smokers than the guys in my group.  To the previous poster, where someone grew up has nothing to do with it.  [/quote]
