    A little. Although I really don't recommend smoking. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Different doesn't mean wrong.

    xD I'm 17, I hate coffee, I hate alcohol, I hate cigarettes. It's not strange, and it's probably common.

    Same here. I'm twenty and I hate all of those things, especially cigarettes. It's more common than you think.

    My brother is 18 and he doesn't do any of that stuff either. Personally I don't think it really matters

    Not strange at all. Please, never take up smoking. Thre is no upside to smoking. As to alcohol and coffee, you may develop a taste for them. Or not. But it does not matter if others find this weird. Do what you want to do!

    Here are 2 sites that present some reasons in favor of coffee and alcohol and also some downsides.

    It's not unusual. I drink coffee and drink on occasion, but I never anything like that at your age.

    It doesn't sound strange to me at all. It sounds like you are wanting to stay healthy.. When I was that age.. I didn't do those things either.. I only drank tea and I am 29 and have never had a cigarette in my mouth and I have never had coffee either and I also only drink alcohol occasionally, so don't feel you need to succumb to peer pressure cause your friends think it is strange or weird.. Be a leader and lead by example.. Do what you wanna do, not what people think is cool. Being your own person is what is really cool.

    I don't do any of those things either. Out of the three, I'd say most people I know are obsessed with coffee, which I don't understand. I don't even like it's smell :lol:

    I didn't start with alcohol until I was 23, and I'm not even a big fan now. Not worth it if it goes too far. And smoking is never worth it

    Don't feel bad, I didn't fall into the pressure and ya di da of any of that stuff either. It's not weird to me in that sense, but I guess I could see how it might seem a little off to others - only because it's still a fairly common thing for someone at that age.

    I tried smoking (a puff of a cigarette was enough) once and didn't like it, and I only tried drinking twice(once when I was younger to see what the big deal was and the other with some family friends because I told them I would celebrate a little on my 21st since I was 'of age' then).

    Have no interest in doing either again.

    I also don't like coffee.

    I drink coffee, but I don't smoke or drink alcohol. I don't care if it's not normal for a teen to be teetotal; I'm not risking my health for a social expectation which would give me no pleasure. Fortunately, smoking isn't any longer normal, but I'm still not giving in to drinking at all.

    Not at all. I started drinking alcohol at 20- But only on special occasions.. Wine, vodka, hard liquor.. I don't drink coffee. I drink tea. It's not strange just different from other people.

    I drink coffee every now and then, I love drinking alcohol, and I never smoke. It is what it is. I don't look down on people for not doing those things, but I don't praise them either.

    I don't think it's strange at all. While I do drink coffee and love it, I can't say I really partake of the other two. I've never smoked a cigarette before and don't intend to, and while I did drink in the past, I don't care for it anymore. I just can't deal with being hungover the next day, especially when I have work.
