Colleen, a teenager from Tennessee, told CO-ED how she started smoking: "I wasn't dumb. I'd seen the TV ads that smoking caused cancer and I believed them. But my two best friends smoked. And when I held a cigarette in my hand I felt so sophisticated. It also made it easier to talk to boys. So, I figured I'd have a cigarette just once in a while. I promised myself I wouldn't make it a habit. I was 15 then. Now I'm 19 and I'm hooked. I've tried to quit twice. I just can't. But I have to. I hate the way my clothes smell. I spend about $3.00 a day buying cigarettes--which is destroying my dudget. And yesterday I burned a hole in a brand new cashmere sweater. But what's really awful is every morning I wake up with this cough. I wish I'd never started--but I never thought I'd get hooked."
