You should have done some research on tobacco and see how many people it kills every year, as compared to cannabis. I don't know the exact numbers, but it's well over 100,000 people who die every year due to smoking, and cannabis, as far as I know, has been 0 in all it's history. Just because something is legal, doens't make it an okay thing to do.

I know, you're 15, and when I was that age, I knew very little and listened very little too. Let me tell you though, smoking is not something you want to take up. It doesn't do anything for you, it's poisnous and makes a lot of new smokers very sick, it kills you, it smells and tastes horrible. Have you ever kissed someone with smoker mouth? Just lick out an ashtry, tastes about the same. Not to mention how much it costs.

And keep in mind that 50% of smokers die due to smoking. That is 1 in 2 people, so next time you're at the smoke pit, look around you. Half those kids will be dead before they're 50, all because they wanted to smoke. Pointless, isn't it.

I do give you cudos and not diving in cannabis though. It is about 200% safer than tobacco. Give it a try sometime, even if it's not so good stuff. You don't need super pot the first time you start smoking. Don't be a pot snob as yo haven't started yet. Buy $10 worth sometime or something.

Just don't start smoking. We don't need another statistic on the board, because if you start, that's all you are.
