What were the influences why you started smoking and how old were you?

If you started young as an child or young teen or as an adult, I would be interested in why - i can't put that all in a survey 😅 - feel free to write to me or leave a comment here ;)

A lot was curiosity but it was more because my Mom smoked and being around her all the time. It looked like something fun to do and she always seemed happy when she was smoking. She let me start smoking at 15 and I chose the same brand she smoked Marlboro Lights.
