    hey. im taking a psych class in high school right now. we are assigned a 'field research' project. we are supposed to survey a group and complete a very small scale study. my study is on smokers. if you smoke it would be awesome if you could answer my a few questions.

    what age were you when you started smoking?

    What got you to smoke?
    (peer pressure, rebel, curiosity, ect....)

    What do you use to justify your smoking to others?


    please be honest. if your not going to help me dont bother posting

    i started when i think 14?
    i started because i was curious as to what i felt like and because i saw my brother doing it alot
    it depended on who i was trying to justify it to. if it was my parents, i would tell them that i had a sleep disorder (which they already knew) and tell them it helps me get to sleep at night.
    if it were my friends i would say its fun as hell and ask them if they wanted to blaze up

    smoking weed?

    i started smoking because i wanted to see what it felt like pretty much.

    to my parents, theres no "justifying" it
    my cousin died from getting into way too many drugs, and my parents are thinking ill turn out like her lol

    to my friends, most of them smoke, but to the ones that dont, i say it helps calm me, helps me with my insomnia, its fun, its a good way to socialize, etc

    ganja

    started when i was 14.

    started because one of my friends had it and i wanted to try it really bad

    i dont need ot justify it to other, its just what i like to do. being high is fun.



    cigarettes

    started at 15

    started smoking when i was drinking, which i started at 12. then i got sick of bummin off people so i would buy a pack for the weekend to have when i was drunk. would end up monday morning with like half a pack left and be like ehh fuck it i may as well get rid of them, then i just got addicted and turned into a smoker i guess.

    i still smoke for a couple of reasons, one being that its addicting. no matter what bullshit anyone says about "i'm not addicted" dont believe it. also i like smoking, i'm not one of those oh its so bad i wish i could quit people i genuinly enjoy having a cigarette.

    thats it i guess

    Bombing Science probably isn't the best source...
    Smoking is just slowly killing yourself a little bit faster than the government.

    i think i was 14 when i had my first.

    i started so i could see what it was like (curiosity)

    and i use boredom to justify my smoking to others. even though i'm trying to quit.


    this is an A+ thread

    I only smoke weed, heres some info if it helps


    What age were you when you started smoking?
    First time I ever smoked I was 12, didn't start smoking regularly till I was about 14 though.

    What got you to smoke?
    (peer pressure, rebel, curiosity, ect....)

    My cousins and sisters all smoked alot, eventually I tried it and I just started laughing extremely hard. I felt really good so I started to smoke more often.

    What do you use to justify your smoking to others?
    I don't really care if people disagree with me smoking. It helps me relax, helps me fall asleep(if I don't smoke at night I won't sleep), and iif I only smoke a little bit it helps me focus.

    what age were you when you started smoking?
    I started smokin at 15

    What got you to smoke?
    I used to smoke a cigarette after weed , then i bought a pack and shit was on.

    What do you use to justify your smoking to others?
    If I have to die one day , I'll do it myself
    It makes me feel good and now i calculate everything by the lenght of smoking a cig.
    Because I feel like it and because im naturally a anxious person , it calms me down.

    good luck with your project

    weeed

    13

    friends older brother dragged us outta bed at 2 in the morning and made us smoke out of a pepsi can. we enjoyed the burn and it became a weekly tradition for a while.

    i didnt justify anything i thought i was cool as hell


    cigs

    15

    all my boys smoked so i finally got tired off bumming of kids and started buying packs

    addiction was my justification

    btdubs- my girl and i quit smoking cigs last week. weve been so hostile. probably why ive been on this site so much lately.

    smoke weed but have the occasional cig

    started smokeing weed at 13 cause i was curius and when i tryed i liked it alot tryed my first cig at 15 dont really smoke cause i figure theres not much point,waste of money... i only smoke if i just blazed or maybe when others are..
    to justify it to others bacicly it doenst impact the quality of the others life so why should that other care. smokeing weed is better than drinking not addictive in my opinion (ive never felt the need to smoke weed infact the more i smoke the less i want to later on) dont get a fucked up. not as many people get angry when there high as they do drunk. smokeing can cause cancer but drinking can fuck your liver up

    I started smoking at 14
    I started because I got bored of smoking weed and snorting coke
    I justify it to others as, It's my life, My body, my choices. I don't push smoking on you, don't push your views on me.

    what age were you when you started smoking? 13

    What got you to smoke?
    basically curiousity, wanting to jsut try it

    What do you use to justify your smoking to others?
    i dont encourage anyone to smoke, itsa shitty adiction, hard to break, and it gets costly.
    but I just go with the whole idea of its me, what i do, you do what you want, i wont push shit on yuo if you dont push shit on me or judge me about smoking
