Viceroy for me. It was a Sunday, I was a teen, sneaking a smoke in a farm shed.


A note: Viceroy was the first cork-tipped cig 1936.

First had to be a Marlboro red at 13.Snuck around in the woods.Also smoked alot of Winstons when they were still good and leaded.Those would knock you down!

mine had to be a merit ultra light...my friend's dad used to smoke them and we'd sneak a few out of his pack and go out in the backyard when everyone was asleep and try, I repeat, try, to smoke! After hacking up a lung, we finally figured it out...it was merit ultra lights, probably closely followed by Marlboro lights.

Mine was Marlboro Reds, I was 13 and on a school trip, never finished it because my teacher caught me
The first cigarette I actually did finish was around second year of high school, it was late night, quite windy and freezing cold as well and I remember trying to warm myself up with some cheap vodka when my friend offered me a Ronhill Super Lights (a local brand).
Rest is history

Camel unfilter when I was 15. We had a restaurant/pub next door and they had a cigarette machine where I could go in and grab a pack for $1.50 - those were the days

Mine was Parliment 25 cent a pack and always on the
counter so as to hand the person a quarter and out the door
I went, to the pond and float out in the middle on our homemade raft
that way we couldnt get caught by my parents.

It sure was FUN !!!!! to always hide smoking, but something
told me they KNEW..

I was 19, and it was 1969, and my boyfriend at the time ( who later, unfortunately, became my first husband ) was a smoker, although I wasn't. None of my friends smoked, either. However, I was anorexic and was always hungry and trying not to eat. Add to that the fact that my boyfriend drove a 1957 Chevy Belair with a stick shift and would ask me to light his cigarette while he changed gears...... well, it seems so simple and easy why I became a smoker, despite the fact both my parents smoked and I hated the smell that clung to my long hair and in our house and clothes. I swore I would never take up that "nasty habit" although I didn't think any less of my parents smoking. They were very funny and intelligent people and loved to read and play cards, both things I picked up from them.

The cigarettes my parents smoked were Raleigh ( my Mom ) and Kent ( my Dad ). I also had an older brother who smoked Pall Malls ( unfiltered ) and an older sister who smoked Kool's FF King, however they had become adults and left home years before. My boyfriend smoked Marlboro ( the original filter Reds ) and they didn't smell as much and when I would light his for him, I would enjoy the taste and it seemed to calm my hunger pains when I took a puff before handing it over to him. That same summer I bought my first pack of cigarettes, Marlboro filter kings, and I was addicted in no time.

Still love my smokes, though, even though both my Dad ( in 1991 ) and my older sister ( March, 2011 ) died from lung cancer. That's sad that I still love to smoke, but it's true.

Winston Lights. I enjoyed it very much but felt guilty.
