    I started at late 13 but since don't smoke anymore. My experience with smoking young was falling school results, truancy, social awkwardness, it made me introverted, suspicious...you get the picture.

    Smoking as a teen will affect your mental developement ie: growth and memory. It may also make you develop antisocial behaviour ie: petty crime, lying and vandalism. Also, depression and anxiety and the constant preoccupation about when you're next going to get stoned or worrying about running out of mull will send you spiralling downward further. Theres also the increased risk of cancer, stroke, heart disease/attack later in life. Your complexion: Acne (from overeating junk food while experiencing munchies), premature wrinkles (from lack of oxygen to face/eye area), dark shadows around eyes...well to sum it up it makes your skin look awful, like a junkie. When I quit my complexion cleared up perfectly, although having wrinkles at 23 is one which will never clear up!

    My imput may not stop you from 'hitting that sweet ganj' but at least think of your life, and the lives of your family. You may think people don't/won't know you smoke, but anyone can tell from your behaviour. I have witnessed this again and again in teens who smoke mull. People who get stoned are usually getting stoned to escape from problems in their life, try to indentify and correct these problems.

    Remember my answer later in life when you will regret what you are doing to yourself now, because you can't turn back time!

    • Have you concidered the option that maybe most your unpleasant side effects had something to do with puberty?

    • Junk food does not cause acne. And how does smoking cause someone to committ petty crimes?
