I'm 18 and have never smoked, drank alcohol or done drugs. Don't intend to ever start smoking or doing drugs either (maybe I'll drink eventually, almost everyone does at some point). I have enough bad addictions as it is: Ice cream (or anything sugary), Cafffeine, Halo 2, and Tetris are the biggest ones. I've seen the inside of a smoker's lung and the inside of a non-smokers lung, and if you ever saw it I think it would definitely discourage you from starting smoking and if you're a smoker, you'd definitely give serious thought to quitting. Besides the health risks, smoking a pack a day for 45 years amounts to over $500,000 (assuming 4-6% interest compounded). My advice: don't start and quit if you have.
