Is it normal that I'm 18 years old and already addicted to smoking?

I'm an 18 year old girl and already addicted to smoking. I've been smoking probably since I was 16, when I found my mom's cigs on the counter. So I took one, got a lighter, and went to the basement to start smoking. It felt pretty good, I felt grown up. But I'm starting to think somethings going to happen now, like I'll get sick and die. Every night when my mom is asleep I'll go in the basement and smoke. Can someone please tell me if this is normal?

Is It Normal?

When you are all grown up and see how much it cost's to smoke.. You will hate ever picking it up... Plus, most guys dont find it attractive when a female smoke and many guys wont date a female that does smoke...
Just think about it, is it really worth it having that much control over you???

So true.

I would never date a smoker. I'd even be wary of an ex-smoker.

Exactly. I picked up smoking at 15 and quit after five years and everytime I look back on all of the urgent midnight gas station runs, all of the nic withdrawals and all off the damned money I wasted on something that was slowly killing me, I feel like a damned fool.

It's not healthy for you and I recommend that you try to quit but it's very common.

I smoke when I'm drunk, sometimes I drink so that I can smoke. I find it hard to have respect for someone who smokes, myself included.

Smoking will age your skin pretty fast though, by the time you'll be thirty, you'll look like someone in their forties. Same with heavy drinking.

In the UK its normal. Most of us start about 15.
I am personally not addicted (yet, I'm 18) but I smoke occasionally, like every few days.

It's normal, but that doesn't mean that it's good. There is a good chance that you'll as you say, get sick and die- not to mention the amount of money you're wasting upholding a smoking addiction. It affects your romantic life as well (a lot of men don't like women who smoke), and smoking around your loved ones hurts them as well.

So yes, but no.
