I was sixteen, I tried one while my friends and I waited for one of our exams, I remember feeling it was an abhorrant thing to do and will admit I was a little judgemental of the few friends I had who used to openly smoke(mind you they were underage at the time and it never stopped me hiding their stuff when they asked).
I had been wondering for a while about exactly why I held such a poor opinion on the habbit and realised that it was never my opinion to begin with, I had most of the facts of course (althought what your teachers won't tell you is that there are some health benifits to smoking roll ups as opposed to the packaged ones) but when you are bombarded with a single side of an arguement you can't really claim the conclusion you come up with is your own, at any rate I asked a friend if they would let me try one and I decided that smoking wasn't for me.
