Yeah, if it's REALLY important to you not to be known as a smoker, it's better not to smoke.
You wouldn't necessarily get immediately fully physically addicted from trying a few cigarettes, but the progression for most is - you smoke a few cigarettes, you get to really, really enjoy it, and unless you have incredible self control it becomes near impossible not to try a few packs of cigarettes, and then you do get addicted, hard and fast, and at that point not smoking when you need to becomes so miserably awful that sooner or later you'll just have to smoke in circumstances that're gonna get you caught. But at that point you won't even mind, because you'll love and need your cigarettes so much, that getting caught and getting through the unpleasantness that brings will be a relief, because it'll mean you can smoke more frequently without worrying about people finding out coz they already know.
Best to accept that if you start within a few months, maybe only a few weeks you will really, really NEED to smoke a least 10-15 cigarettes a day, probably more like 20, and will find it utterly awful to try to go more than two hours without smoking. And this will be the case for many years, probably the rest of your life, unless you can go through the sheer torment of giving up.
So if right now being known as a smoker is not what you want, waiting till your circumstances are better to smoke would be a good idea - once you start you'll be at it for a real long time, so there's no need to rush into anything.
