Different nations and different societies have varying starting age of smoking in youngsters, as i myself have travelled to many places in the world. i think the usually the average starting age of smoking is that when a guy enter into the 9th year of his academic education, the late beginning of teenage (15 years) . most of the guys do smoke at this age whether openly or concealing themselves. In the US, 13.
Why would you want to start?
Smoking, although it seems cool and not that big of a deal, is actually a pretty dangerous and harmful habit. Sure, there have been people who have smoked for decades and it SEEMS like they're fine, but if you were to take a look at their overall health quality, it's not that great. Constant coughing, terrible breath, reduced libido in both men and women (seriously! tobacco's effects don't just destroy the lungs, y'know...)....
Not only that, but think about how much it costs to maintain that habit. If you smoke like a pack a day (which is about $8, roughly), which is about $56/week, think about how much dough you're literally....sending up in smoke...
== 11years == As teens or preteens. The average age of starting is 13, so half start before that, half after. 90% start by age 18. http://www.wikianswers.com/
Statistics show that nearly 90 percent of smokers begin smoking before they are 18 years of age. The average starting age for smokers is around 13 years old.

Happy To Answer Your Question!!
In early to mid-late teens.
Statistics show that the number of people who begin smoking each day is 80,000 at the low end of the estimate and as many as 100,000 at the upper end of the estimate. The greatest majority of them are children or young adults.
Teens who smoke, are more likely to start drinking alcohol and taking drugs than teens who don't smoke. People who start smoking at a young age, are at a greater risk of getting lung cancer.
3000 kids start smoking every DAY!..
why smoking is so hard to stop? why is so addictive? why is so bad for us?
plenty noe but i think it is about 20% of young people are affected in Victoria
because it burns your lungs
-smoking causes respiratory problems that leads to lung cancer
To gain peer approval .
People start smoking because the want to be cool, be just like their friends, or because some puts pressure on them and then they get addicted.
i started at 12
Because they enjoy it.
Shortly after they are first ignited?
