Reverse the Damage – Lung Cancer
8 hours after you quit smoking, your blood oxygen level returns to normal. In 3 months your lung function improves up to 30%. After 10 years your risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a smoker. but right now you’re one cigarette closer to cancer. Every cigarette makes you sick. Quit smoking today.

@massgator1 Wait huh? o.o I didn’t start til I was 20, but I quit about 8 months afterwards, its your choice to do what you want to your body but I’m glad i didn’t smoke real long because even though I didn’t smoke really for a really long time I was up to about 2 packs a day. Just in that short time frame I could already feel the effects it was having on me, I threw away and gave away all my smoking stuff and Haven’t had a cigarette in 3 months. I feel soooooooooooo much better.

Probably because it was legal to buy cigarettes at 18, instead of doing something illegal at 14.
@massgator1
its stupid to start at any age……
my sister had a boy friend and he started smoking at 18 years old how stuped is that of an age to start smoking if you are 12 years old or 14 years old or 16 years old thats a normal age to start smoking but what kind of a person starts smoking at 18 years old my friends cannot belive he was that stuped to start at 18 when you are 18 years old you know better than to start smoking at all.
