Is it normal to feel so bad that i smoked once?

Psh, tobacco is so last century. Heroin is where it's at right now.

Smoking doesn't make you a horrible person, and if someone is so closed mind to lose respect for someone for doing it, then they aren't the type of person you want as a friend. If smoking upsets them so badly, there are other things which will too.

Normal but I wouldn't worry about it. You have a reason to back up them now. And they won't hold it against you f they are true friends. You have changed and are able to accept your mistake, now move on. Like I said they shouldn't hold it against you.

oh dear god, dont worry about that... and your friends are a little bit close-minded dont you think?

Sounds like you are not one to rebel, some might call you a goody-two-shoes. You had a lapse of judgment and gave into peer pressure one night. Giving into peer pressure is weak and you weren't acting like yourself, it's not a wonder why you are now embarrassed of your past behavior.

I lose respect for people that smoke, because it shows they gave into peer pressure and ignore health and future cost issues, though I would not let go of a friend because of it. You would have felt better if you just told your new friends that you tried it once and thought it was horrid, but now that time has passed so you just have to put it behind you.

You know what the right decisions are, as long as your true to your own personality then you won't have regrets. Don't let other people influence you so greatly!

Smoking is a personal choice, I'm sure your friends have lots of things they choose to do in their lives that other people don't agree with, but it's your body and your decision. You don't need to justify anything, if you tell them and they give you shit just say

" I'm an open minded person who wanted to see what smoking was about, I didn't like it, and that's that. If you guys are gonna be judgmental it obviously shows that you're close minded and not accepting and none of us are perfect.

Now you know why it's lame to smoke!

Bwahaha, once they get older Ill bet they try a cigarette at least once, or something else if not cigarettes. Very few people never experiment with smoking, drinking or drugs at all.

Plus thats a really childish and close minded opinion to have. Your friends need to live and let live.

Your friends sound close-minded. Smoking/drinking doesn't make someone a bad person, it's just unhealthy in large amounts. Plus you only smoked once and it wasn't recently. I have a friend who smokes weed once in a while, but it doesn't seem to affect her negatively. But she's nice and I like her a lot.

it's totally normal to worry about it a little. But don't be ashamed. Most people try this at the age of 14.

also if your friends hate people for doing things such as smoking, then they're really no better than the people who hate kids for NOT smoking and being a goody-two shoes.

Having done something once is really not a big deal...everybody gets curious...if you smoke every day then thats a different story...

stop being a goody-two-shoes brown nosed pussy and live a little.

what the hell.......thats terrible...that you would think smoking is so bad

You should smoke lots of weed, then smoking a cigarette won't make you feel so bad, then when you feel bad about smoking weed you should do cocaine or heroin, then when you feel bad about that you can jump off a bridge. Problem solved, glad I could help ;)

I think most people try it at some point. I did a few times, but luckily never liked it. Having tried it before, at least you probably won't be tempted to do it again. I really think you're being too hard on yourself. If it's hypocrisy that bothers you, just admit you did try it. It was a mistake and that was that.

I only lose respect or people who lose respect for others who are different than they are. Hate hate.
