Yea!, the first cig I had was because a bunch of friends of mind all took a cig from their folks and then we met up in the woods, lit up and passed the smokes around in a circle. I remember none of us liked smoking them. We were all in the ages of 7 and up. It was on a U.S. military base in Germany. Any military brats here should know the close knit community of being an army brat. Age, skin color, and personal quirks meant nothing. You were in the same boat as all of the other kids. You move every 3-4 years and have to start all over in making friends.
Anyways, I had another cig for the first time 3 or 4 years later. I was riding my bike through tha hood and noticed one of my (bad influence) friends sitting on the roof of his house smoking. As I noticed him there smoking he noticed me happening along by and said, "Hey Tom, come up here and smoke with me." So I thought to myself, "well I always have fun being bad with this guy so why the F not." I lit up and then he said, "You did not inhale." So of course I argued back yes I did!" at the same time realising that really didn't, guess I thought puffing on it was considered smoking. He then took a drag and allowed some smoke to escape his mouth and then inhaled quickly which pulled most of the smoke back in and into his lungs and exhaled through his nose and said, "If you don't inhale then you can't blow smoke out of your nose." So I took another drag and inhaled and coughed my ass off. He then confirmed aloud that I actually inhaled as I was getting pleasiantly dizzy.
Cigs were actually interesting to smoke in the beginning since the nicotene buzz actually says, "hello", to you. But once you become used to it, it does nothing. The only reason you are still smoking is because of your memory attaching to that buzz thus relieving you of stress or taking the edge off whatever kind drug induced buzz/high you have acquired.
