I know a lot of girls who started smoking because nicotine reduces your appetite.
Also, this topic made me remember some of my friends who took up smoking young.
We were in year 8 (13 years old) and we did an experiment in Science where we took cigarettes and used a special syringe thing to suck in the smoke and trap the tar on some special filter paper. The whole idea was to scare us off smoking forever. It didn't work! Some of the 'try hard' kids nicked a couple of the cigarettes and smoked them to look cool. Meanwhile the guys who really were cool just looked at them and called them idiots for wrecking their health. Some of those kids then kept on smoking as they thought it would make them cool and then got addicted. They're still addicted now (8 years later) and they aren't any cooler.
The moral of the story: Don't smoke to be cool as smoking hasn't been cool since the sixties.
