    Sometimes I feel like the people trying to ban flavored vapes were never even kids. Because lemme tell ya, it was never about the flavor. All my friends and I started smoking when we were 13 and it definitely wasn’t because they tasted good I’ll tell you that much. Tobacco companies are just mad they aren’t making as much money.

      Yep. Part is peer pressure, part is wanting to rebel, part is wanting to seem older, and part is because cigarettes were portrayed for years as something relaxing.

      Who has two thumbs and started smoking at 13? This guy👍👍

      I quit several years ago and regret about 75% of the cigarettes I smoked.
