Dear Anyone,

I’m only 14, but I can’t stop smoking. I know it’s no good for me, but the gang I hang with at school got me into smoking, and they all smoke all the time, so it’s hard to quit. Smoking is fun, but sometimes I think I’m killing myself. If I don’t smoke, maybe my friends won’t think I’m cool any more. I don’t know what I should do. I can’t ask my parents for help since they don’t know I smoke.
