I think my son felt like he had use it in order to be sociable. You know? He worries a lot about what people think about him. A few years ago he flew to California to look at a school. While he was there, he stayed with a friend of a friend. This guy told my son's friend that my son was 'odd,' because he refused to smoke with him. My son really hates being called odd. He figures that if that's odd, maybe he should partake if he's offered. We've talked about it a lot, and I think he understands it's not odd to turn down something if you don't want it.
