Mostly negative. When I first smoked a cigarette, I not only felt physically unwell but also realized how bad it smelled. It was embarrassing to have that smell on me. However, some might say they felt 'cool' at first, but that feeling doesn't last long when the negative effects kick in like coughing and a bad taste in the mouth.
I have a friend who, during his first time smoking, was in a really bad mood. He thought smoking would calm him down. He lit up a cigarette and as he smoked, he felt dizzy. He realized that it wasn't the solution to his problems. Instead, it just made him feel unwell and he decided never to do it again.
I remember my first time smoking a cigarette was really awful. I took a puff and immediately started coughing. It tasted so bitter and made my throat feel scratchy. I couldn't understand why people would like it at all.
I knew someone who had a bad first time smoking weed. Right after smoking, he got really nauseous. He threw up several times and had a terrible headache. His vision was blurry and he felt dizzy. It was not at all the 'pleasant' experience that some people claim weed can be. He never tried it again after that first awful encounter.
Well, one of my friends thought it was like smoking a regular cigarette. He took a huge puff and then started coughing uncontrollably. His face turned red and we couldn't stop laughing.
I was at a party with some so - called 'friends'. They were all smoking and they passed me a cigarette. I took a puff just to fit in. It was awful. The smoke burned my throat and made me cough a lot. I immediately regretted it and never smoked again.
I heard about a soldier who smoked a cigarette right after coming out of a battle. It was his way of calming his nerves. The cigarette in that moment represented survival and a brief return to normalcy in the chaos of war.
Yes, some people feel paranoid. For instance, my cousin smoked weed for the first time and she kept thinking that everyone was looking at her and talking about her, even though it wasn't true. It made her really uncomfortable.
