I don't know anyone, when they took their first draw of a cigarette, behind the bike sheds at school, at a party, or wherever it was, who said: 'Oh my, that tastes gorgeous!'
I certainly didn't - it tasted VILE, which is why I stopped there and then, and didn't develop it into a habit. And I was never one for succumbing to peer pressure. The fact is, it ONLY tastes good once you've
become accustomed to the taste, and then hooked on the drug.
The trick, therefore, is to stop at the first stage of it tasting vile, just like you would with anything else you hated the taste of!

Absolutely didn't taste good at first, but we'd stick at it because we wanted to look "grown up". Same could be said of alcohol - I doubt many kids having their first beer would be thinking, "Ooh, that's delicious!", but we stuck with it because we wanted to be "grown up".
Young smokers don't "grow up" to be wife beaters, don't kill people with their driving, and you'll never hear any kids saying "my dad's excessive smoking ruined our lives". Not unless they liked a few pints with their fags.
