i think smoking should be banned completely. and im a smoker myself. it would just make it so much harder for ppl to do it in the first place because once you start its so hard to give it up.

depends where you live. I think the average age is 18-21.

A good thing about it is that then kids have to be older to be able to buy smoking. They will be more mature to choose the right decisions, and lay out the consequences of smoking. Sadly most dont follow the law so it might not help much. According to Jonathan Edwards children are not born into an age of reason, and that is why they have parents. Eventually they will be able to reason, but after a while. People who are 18 are still young and many not mature enough to make decisions that can change their lives. I am only 16 and I have realised this. I am not mature enough. And though I am more mature than some teenagers, I know I am not mature enough to make that decision.

3 months in your system, probably longer in your hair.\n\nBest to admit to health professional conducting test that you are casual smoker, or have stopped.\n\nGood luck.

Thats going to be 851 hours and 40 minutes (or 51,100 minutes a year) a year exactly.  So, if you smoked for 14 years, that would be 11923 hours and 20 minutes in 14 years.  That equates to 496 days and 19 hours and 20 minutes for the whole 14 years.  496 days is 16 monhts and 16 days 19 hours, and 20 minutes.  This is taken that a month is 30 days.

You shouldnt be smoking that at that age, hiding it from your parents.. As a parent I would rather my child tell me about it.... \n\nRespect your parents and dont bring it in the house.\n\nWhat are the places you have thought of? Cause they will find it. And when they find it they are going to be so upset and mad, you'll lose all tys with friends and be grounded forever.... Not a fun thing... \n\nIm sorry I can answer the question...

AFAIK, nationwide minimum age for possession is 18..you get a ticket for minor-in-possession of tobacco.

I've seen answerers who have claimed to be as young as eight, and as old as 106.  We have no way of knowing what anyone's true age is.  I'm in my twenties - for real.

It is ridiculous and it is also caused by peer pressure. Also, an adult in the house or someone you know that smokes. \n\nI was 11 years old when I tried my first cig which I stole from my mother. I didn't start smoking regularly till I was about 14 or 15. \n\nI am now 29 years old and have been smoke-free for going on 3 years... It wasn't easy.. And yes, that was the most stupid thing I had ever done - smoking in the first place.

I have 3 kids. 11, 8 and 18 months. My hubby and I both smoked before and during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. NO cigaretes though. My kids were all 7 or 8 lbs and no problems. Not even 11 years later. Most people smoke cigs as well so most research is tainted. I have many friends who only smoke weed as well and there children, up to 16, are fine. Even my mother says she smoked occasionally. I have heard that the seeds can reduce a mans sperm count but who smokes seeds.

Most girls in their 16-22 would love to smoke or at least to see their partner smoking. If not adicted most ladies above 25 do not want to smoke but its 50/50 towards their partners.\n\nthans what I feel

If it were treated like alcohol in terms of age restrictions and enforcement, and banned in public so the rest of us don't get your second hand smoke (including in 'just outside the building' corridors of smoke), I don't really care.  I don't think it is worse than alcohol, and it may be better for you. I'd let science decide on that point.

None really, you just cannot buy them if you're underage. You can have someone else buy them for you and smoke them all you want. Although they are trying to change this, also trying to make Canada "cigarette free"... <insert laughter here>.

It's not that a 13 year old "can't smoke",the question is: "Why would a 13 year old want to smoke?". By the time your 16, you'll look 25,and your lungs will look like spinach!.

Only three things are going to work:\n1. Eliminate alcohol and tobacco. Ain't gonna happen.\n2. Constant monitoring of teenagers. Very expensive.\n3. Explain the consequences of smoking and drinking to them, without lying. This will not have a 100 percent effectiveness rate, because many teenagers feel they are old enough to make these decisions without the info.
