look kid u dont wanna start with smokeing trust me cuz when u get 18 or older u will start buying them yourself and that shit adds up.. by then in order for you 2 get a ok buzz off of smokeing them u will have to smoke 3 or 4 before you even feel it. its better if u quit before all that happens. i mean the cheapest cigs where i work is $2.56 most people get marbro reds or lights witch are $3.31 and think by the time u r 18 kid if ustickwith them you will go through lets say 2 packs a week $6.62 in a month its $26.48 now think about that dude thats money you could have use better to go out on date then maybe get layed after words or something u know.. on top of all that smokeing kills your jog time,lungs,and few other things... but i understand its your life and you will do with it what you want i am just saying 20 years don the road if/when u might want to quit you will probly think back to when you were young and wish u would have stoped then... best of luck with whatever you do kid.

Smoking is bad, annoying, kills, and smells bad. AND hereabouts smoking and alcohol are legal 16+; to top that there are cigarette machines all over the place - obviously without controls. Means: the extreme wannabe-cool-kids start w.a.y. too young (assuming it's ok at all, which it isn't.) I know a girl who's 15 (? - anyway around my age) and started with 11. There are a number of kids who start at 12/13 and way to many smoke with 15/16.
A "fun fact" about German youth protection law is that not posessing or consuming alcohol and nicotine under 16 is illegal, but giving them to under-16s in public. (I've read the law on that one ) So giving kids cigs at a private party is legal.
