Loads of goths at my school do it.

 

Goths in general tend to be pretty heavy smokers.. Every time I go out to Goth bars or Clubs the smokers tend to outnumber the non-smokers, or make up at least 40-50% of the punters there; it certainly is NOT the tiny minority Craig makes it out to be in this particlar context... I'd like to see Craig telling these folks that they're 'acting like Chavs'.... Most people in the Goth scene have got pretty good jobs or run small businesses, or they are have a natural artistic bent (artists, musicians, writers, etc..), nothing 'chavvy' about them in the slightest...

I am not talking about adults though Scott, I am talking about 10-15 year olds who smoke, I know lots of adults who smoke I am not talking about them I am talking about the 10-15 year old population who smoke under age, if I see a kid smoking in the street my reaction is "bloody chav :rolleyes: " I can not work out why anyone under age smokes that is what I am trying to say and surely the reason kids 10-15 smoke is the same as why they looked at porno magazines behind the bike sheds in my days - to impress their mates and to look "cool"

i used to smoke at school, only the odd one or two cuz i was scared of my mum finding out lol

then i stopped cuz i found out my grandad had cancer but after he died i started again, that was while i was at college

i dont smoke any more but i think if i was out with my friends and they were then i probably would, not cuz i want to look 'cool' or anything but because if my clothes are goin smell of it then i might as well lol.

 

anyway, when i was smoking at school i brought them from shops and they never asked me if i was old enough to buy them and there was no way i looked over 16. i dont think the age should be raised but i do think they should be more strict about asking for ID like they are when people buy alcohol.

 

to buy alcohol now u have to look over 21 or have ID with u, i think the same should be for smoking, if u look under 18 you should have ID to prove your over 16

But you can only go 'bloody chav' if they are a chav :lol:

Maybe they do it coz they like it? Why is it any different from an adult smoking?

If you're honestly going to tell me that you didn't have a fly ciggie behind the bike sheds or sneaked into the pub with one or two of your legal age mates when you were underage, then you are an utter fibber mate... :P We all did it, dont have a downer on today's kids for just acting exactly the same way you probably did....

As if only chavs smoke lol.

 

Don't models smoke too?? If it keeps them thin...

 

I don't see why they do. It's much easier to eat OJ covered cotton-wool balls or rollde up tissue paper tbh.

Even though it can still cause death, but hey at least it's not cancer.

 

And smokers are DISGUSTING. Especially the repulsive, BINTS who are disrespectful enough to blow smoke left, right and centre with no regards for anyone else. Those types should be burnt at the stake tbh.
