i've noticed once again that that it took a fellow smoker to extend an hand of compassion and friendship to another human being. not of of you have said to teach er, corupt her,or make smoking a prerequisit to friendship. jen has shown us all once again our most endearing qualities. god bless you hun. you have done us all proud. not one anti from what i see has offered your new aquaintence acceptance into thier fold. why am i not supprized.
every one has said to talk to her, inform her of what her decision to smoke will mean,tell her about the plus and minuses of smoking but most importantly to extend friendship to her and your group of friends. i'm am proud to be a part of such a wonderful, social group of people.
all i can do to repeat the counsel given. advise your new friend about the sequence of events she will encounter. the pleasures and arousel, the bond we smokers share so often, why you have come to love smoking as much as the rest of us have etc... most importantly advise her to inform her parents of her decision early on. seeking permission from them,guiding her on how to handel these things in an adult manner and if she decides to take up the habit, show her some of the things that will help her to enjoy smoking as much as we all do, showing her some of the tricks that will help her look and feel good about her smoking.
that's my 2 cents worth.lol ! i hope all goes well for you and you new friend.
