How did you feel about smoking as a child?
I want to find out why children find cigarettes disgusting – and yet start smoking a few years later.

Extreme obsessive compulsive disorder?
My girlfriend is doing such weird things. I'm about to go crazy. When she's in the shower and wants to put on her underwear, I hear her stomping her foot on the floor. I counted. It was 20 times. She put on and took off her underwear 20 times. And all the while, all I…
Can my baby be disabled due to stress?
So it was like this: I got really upset in the early days of my pregnancy. My sister-in-law, with whom I originally had a good relationship, started gossiping about me out of the blue. It started when my husband and I were at McDonald's and he and I were arguing about something. She didn't like…
Take several different capsules in a row?

Can you take several different capsules in a row or should you take a break in between? If so, how long should the break be? Until the next capsule?
Family-friendly GOA festival with a toddler?
ByBordor81
Good day, We would like to know if there are any good GOA festivals in Europe where something could be done with children. Of course, our goal is no longer to party all night on the dance floor like we used to, but rather to enjoy the day's entertainment (maybe watch a few DJs and…
Birthmark or injury?
Wasn't there yesterday
Should you do something in such a case and if so, what?
I take the same route to work every morning. I pass a bus stop where, for two weeks in a row, I've noticed a boy, maybe 9 years old, standing at the bus stop in subzero temperatures wearing only shorts and a very light, breathable shirt. The clothes are such a typical outfit for physical…
When I was a child up to 10 years, I found it disgusting, then my attitude was all the same. I was more and more inspired by cigarettes, as the environment also smoked. Then the decision and bought my first box lighter, long cigarettes and began to smoke. On that day, smoking only stopped when I could well inhale the smoke and there were 7 cigarettes with small breaks. The next days I smoked more and it became regular, soon daily. The desire became more and more intense.
My parents smoked both, then like everyone in the apartment, I found it normal.
At 13 I had some older friends and I found it totally cool. We smoked secretly, even on the school toilet.
In retrospect, I didn’t taste it, but you just found yourself cool, you belonged to it.
You got dumps from the machine. After about a year I stopped again.
Later I smoked occasionally. For 20 years.
I found it cool and I have been ex-smoking since 2014 or steamer.
I usually have no more nicotine in the liquid, so the addiction itself is gone.
Unfortunately, none of the options offered really fits, because I found it neither gross, nor cool. When I was a kid, I noticed the smell that I liked. Smoking itself as an action in adults I found rather uninteresting.
With the smell of cigarettes and coffee in the morning I connect a lot of very beautiful memories. My grandma has a spa / inn and it was smoked for coffee in the morning, of course. It was the 80s and as a child I liked the smell. And today I connect with the smell that everything is just fine.
I smoke cigars, no cigarettes. I started this with cigarettes at 16/17 times on a France exchange to “listen”. Luckies and blue Gauloises. I just did it because my best buddy did it there. After about 3 months, I left it again. Because I found the whole story rather “taste-neutral”, so it smells better like it tastes.
But then a good friend gave me a small 20-kiste Brasil cigars a little later. That was something else. They immediately tasted so good that I stayed there. I guess at the end of 16 or at the beginning of 17 I was about the turn, and I just can’t say that.
Anyway, I’ve been smoking cigar for 25 years. I just really like good, strong, pungent cigars. The stronger, the better. Under normal conditions one day. If there’s two of them. Cigarettes and I have never become warm. I have no greed and I would never smoke. There is no power, taste and pepper. I wouldn’t eat any chocolate that tastes like nothing. At the cigar, I’m looking for coffee toast sausages. If she does, I smoke her.
In between, it may be a Robusto, otherwise I prefer Toro or Toro Gordo, rather than larger formats. And then I expect the cigar to keep the next 2.5h.
For me, enjoyment is at the forefront. When I smoke, then consciously and enjoy every minute and spicy aroma. It’s like vacation for me.
As I said, as a child I perceived the smell – with coffee for me a poem. I did not consciously perceive smoking in itself. As a grower it was just this great roasted, peppery taste, with coffee notes. I’m sorry. In order to be “cool” I never did that, that was quite the approach with the cigarettes, perhaps as a motivation, because I wanted to belong to it. But I really prefer to smoke cigars alone because others often bother me and I want to rest. Meanwhile, however, it is more common in the summer that good friends come by and you smoke a cigar to a cola or after barbecue. There is.
I was not very enthusiastic.
Of course you tried that, but I don’t want to do it and I’m also against smoking.
My father smoked and I always found it disgusting. Until I was about 17 I also had a largely smoke-free environment. From there I have often spent the break with the (unironic) cool kids in the smoking corner, but it never irritated me.
So in the middle of 20 it started that after the consumption of alcohol I have such a funny desire to smoke cigarettes or vates. But I still find sober, especially when the clothes stink.
Well, actually, not disgusting because in my family many adults, including my parents, smoked. So I grew up with it and for me it was normal (they also smoked in the interior). However, I always wiped the smoke away from my face.
My parents put great emphasis on the fact that we didn't start children and promised about large sums to 18th birthday if we wouldn't smoke until then.
There were then several events that led to my parents approx. Year of life smoking tasks (which took 2 years and was very difficult).
I was simply horrified when my fellow students started it at the same time!
I've never understood that and I've never been associated with smoking. Shortly, I thought if I was to force myself to do this because I had to go to the bus stop with all the smokers every day of school and didn't smoke. I wanted and couldn't overcome myself.
Years later, one of the smoking relatives had to get a leg amutation, which was potentially a consequence of smoking. From the family circle there was an acquaintance who was also a heavy smoker and had consumed a lot of alcohol for a long time, who then got pancreatic cancer and died after a good 2 years of death with just under 71.
Unfortunately, this was just the generation where smoking and drinking was massively promoted by advertising, was associated with independence and coolness and where it was still quite normal for a long time to smoke in the interior, in the car, in the restaurant, in front of children etc. You can't blame them.
Today we know much more about side effects, secondary diseases etc. of smoking, alcohol, sugar consumption, fast food – and yet sugar and fast food are not yet "attended" in the same way. Almost everyone can understand how hard it falls to give up a substance after years of reconciliation. We have, for example, still many occasions that are celebrated with sugar (torts, Easter eggs, sweets etc.) or with alcohol (attacks at big celebrations) or meat ("holiday roast" etc.).
In this respect, we should be more able to withstand convictions.
No one will ever live completely healthy and there will always be trends that end up as harmful. Currently, for example, in the discussion about vegetarian and vegan meat/ meat substitute, which should not be so healthy. And most of them got used to it, BECAUSE they thought that was more ethical and healthier.
By the way, in my childhood, there were still these "children's cigarettes" made of chocolate, which are so truncated today, because they are supposed to seduce the children to smoke, which is something desirable. I had no influence on the subject of cigarettes. However, I was also above average sensitive to dry air and therefore also cigarette smoke. This could have contributed to dislike.
I thought to be honest, cigarette smell as a child pleasant. My mother and my grandfather smoked and it was kind of familiar to me. Still, I never smoked myself. The reason for this is probably that both my mother told me several times in a very quiet and serious way that I should never start with it because they depend on it. And I shouldn’t be dependent. I believed it and never had the need to start with it.
My mother was (and is still) a repentant and regular smoker. Her lost smoke has always bothered me, but she didn’t care that it bothered me. Nevertheless, I was always fascinated by the art of smoking. One day when I was eight, I dared to ask her why she smoked. She answered that many adults choose smoking and that there is absolutely nothing to do with it. That day I knew I would be a smoker. This day came on my 12th birthday when I asked to try it. She quickly followed him. After I was a passive smoker all my life, I liked the opportunity to smoke my own cigarette right away. I quickly realized why she smoked regularly and took little consideration of who could disturb it around her. Meanwhile, I am 48, and apart from two days during my first pregnancy, when I tried unsuccessfully to stop smoking, I had no smoke-free day ever since. And the rest is “Herstory”.
I was totally neutral to the subject as a child and adolescent, smoking in the public was in the early 90s standard and it was no matter at all. It was of course well-qualified everywhere, but we were not a smoker family. There were some smokers, but no long-term. I registered at school that some smoked at about 16 years, I didn’t care.
As a teenager I occasionally smoked a cigarillo and sometimes cheap cigars from Edeka’s own brand “trade gold” tried to have been real smoker from me never. To this day, there’s occasionally a cigarillo of Villiger.
I stand neutral to smokers and respect their decision to smoke. I find it embarrassing if someone who has no money and always talks about it has no money, then smokes two boxes a day and complains about what he can’t afford.
I thought it was good, smoked a while and now it stinks me. Some people smoke to have breaks. Smokers are given the 10 minutes. Some smoke to be there. In the smoking corner you will find everything new. Some smoke not to eat. They want to stay slender. Children smoke to look more adult. I’m lucky that’s been relative today. The children don’t see their parents smoking anymore and can hardly steal cigarettes from their parents.
Until 10 years I found it disgusting. My parents are strictly non-smoking. From 10 to 15 years I found it very pleasant when I was visiting smokers with 14 my parents have control to push if I smoked so it woke the curiosity in me to try. The first cigarette paffed tasted funny that was with 15 and with 16 I started to smoke properly because it was getting worse with control and it was getting more and more to do something forbidden. This is now 35 years ago smoke and married a woman who also smokes what was naturally a shock for my parents. Smoke still secretly in front of my mother though she knows I smoke.
My mother smoked from Klein, never a lot since she got me, but at least 10-15 a day. I have always perceived the smell as a stench and thought how to breathe this smoke voluntarily 10-15 times a day. Then I smoked a dump myself from curiosity. Then at parties and with friends, then I realized what a addiction it is, but it was too late and I was already deep in my smoking career.
How old were you when you started?
between 13 and 16 and again an opportunity smoker. Then a short year not a single one and then started with 17 regularly as the parties came after the lockdowns.
There is no answer to this. I never had a real problem with smoking someone near me, but I never thought it was cool.
I grew up in a non-smoking family and found it disgusting. But now I have become a smoker through a life crisis, also because of my best friend. I’m the only one in the family, but I really enjoy smoking right now.
My 10 years older brother smoked until 3 years ago.
In the car too. It smelled very good for me. I also often bought his “HB” at the cigarette vending machine.
I imagined if I were big, I’d smoke and just like him, drive motorcycle.
I didn’t want the latter as an adult.
I always found as a child intriguing that I found smoke scratchy, but the adults apparently pulled with pleasure at the cigarette. Now I know that smoking feels really good, even if it is unfortunately very harmful.
However, a few years ago, I changed to steam. Very good decision. Now I can climb stairs again without smiling
I got and gets bad about the smoke. as a child I also often got headache when I was in the smoke longer. I don’t know if that was the case today if I’d been outlawing the smoke. have no desire to test this
have always found smoke completely horny and could hardly expect me to smoke myself. I am now a smoker
It’s always against
Then why did you start? Weak will?
Doesn’t always blow everything according to plan
You also traveled the one-way street. After we have traveled, there is simply no turning around and back.
I thought it was just old men. Unfortunately, it wasn’t like that.
And still stand
Never interested me.
