Smoking a cigarette for the first time

I got to know about cigarettes when I was in primary school. I have seen people used to smoke cigarettes in public places. Once I was on a public bus and a person was smoking there and somehow I consumed that smoke. It's the worst thing I ever consumed. The smell is so bad. I washed my face and mouth, I rinsed them thoroughly with water. Primary school is over now I am in high school. Now I am in a class of teenagers people who used to smoke regularly and some of them explain the benefits of it. One of my friends says that smoking cigarettes help me to increase focus, reduce stress, study more hours, and most importantly it's such a cool thing to do. Yeah, I also sometimes feel that people consider smoking cigarettes and other intoxicating content to be such a cool thing. If you are not doing it you are not so cool guy. Later that day I searched on the google benefits of smoking, but I only got negative health issues is the only benefit. If you consider it as a benefit. I found out that, smoking cigarettes can produce a range of sensations and effects, including the release of nicotine into the bloodstream, which causes a brief increase in heart rate and blood pressure. Nicotine is also known to stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain, which can create a sense of pleasure or reward. Okay, so the release of dopamine is the reason people can't stop smoking once they get habituated. My friends used to smoke while hanging out together, but I never did not even for once. One random evening when I was hanging out with a girl. Who is nothing more than just a friend. And I wanted to be the cool guy in front of her. So I decided to smoke a cigarette. I brought one lit up a cigarette and start smoking it. My hands were shaking when I was holding the cigarette. After smoking it for few times I started coughing, my throat was paining a lot, I started having a headache, and that smoke is killing me. After finishing it half I threw it away. I washed my mouth with cold water. It took me a few hours to stop the headache and one day for the throat pain to stop. That was the first and probably the last time I ever smoked. It's okay for me if I am that not-cool guy. It was a horrible experience overall. I spoke about this with my friends and they said the first-time experience is the same for them as well. They too don't like it for the first time. But after doing again and again now they can't spend a day without smoking. Mostly on the days, they feel low about something. Although smoking does not make your day easier. It just makes your health worse. If you are someone who feels the same as me, that smoking is a cool thing to do then I would say that don't do it. Not even for once. Many people would say that you have to taste everything in life. But I don't agree with that statement. It is completely fine If you learn from other people's experiences. And according to me, it's the best thing to do.

This incident never happened to me. I just feel like writing this, a fiction basically. Thanks for reading till the end.
